Trick-or-treating

Trick-or-treating is a tradition during Halloween where children dress in costumes and travel door-to-door in neighborhoods, asking for treats like candy or small gifts with the phrase "trick or treat." It started as a festive activity to celebrate the holiday, originating from ancient practices and charity events. Participants typically go out after dark, and residents often prepare by offering sweets or surprises to costumed visitors. The activity promotes community engagement, fun, and creativity while celebrating the spooky, playful spirit of Halloween.
