How Old Is Too Old To Trick-Or-Treat?

How old is too old to trick-or-treat? As Halloween approaches, many highschoolers find themselves asking this question. Trick-or-treating has its roots in ancient traditions, evolving from customs where children and adults would dress up and go door-to-door asking for food or money. Today, it’s a cherished tradition that brings communities together. While opinions on the age cutoff vary, recent surveys suggest that most people believe trick-or-treating should end around 13 or 14 years old. But don’t worry—while your days of candy collection may be behind you, there are still plenty of exciting ways to enjoy Halloween! One fun alternative is to host a Halloween movie marathon with friends, complete with popcorn, cozy blankets, and your favorite spooky snacks. Another idea is to throw a costume party, where everyone can dress up and show off their creativity. You can even have a contest for the best costume! For a different kind of thrill, consider visiting a local haunted house or trying your hand at pumpkin carving to showcase your artistic skills. Additionally, think about hosting a bake-off with friends to create festive treats or pumpkin-flavored goodies. If these options don’t quite satisfy your Halloween candy craving, offer to take a younger sibling or neighbor trick-or-treating. This way, you can still enjoy the fun without the stigma of being too old. No matter what festivities you choose this Thursday, remember to be safe and have fun. Happy Halloween Vivettes!
