Halloween Costume Guide 2026
It’s no secret that Halloween is a great time to bring the whole family together and have some fun. Costumes are one of the best ways to get everyone involved! Halloween 2026 is just around the corner; it falls on Saturday, Oct 31st.
Like every year, it’s better to get candy for trick-or-treaters and have your kid’s Halloween costume ready in advance instead of waiting until the last minute. We have created this Halloween costume guide for you so you will be ready on time this year.
In addition, we wanted to share some tips on what you should be looking at when buying a costume for your little one.
Questions to ask before you order your kids’ Halloween costume
1. Ask your kids if they have a favourite or preferred costume this year. You don’t want to prepare a costume that your kid won’t want to wear.
It will be easier if your LO’ is younger than 2 years old- since you will be the one to choose their costume.
2. Do you plan to buy a Halloween costume? Or to make a Halloween costume from scratch.
If you prefer to be creative and DIY a Halloween costume this year – Pinterest is definitely the best place to start your search. Start with our Halloween Board here.
3. Do you plan to spend some time outside with your kids this Halloween for Trick or Treating? If you do, choose a Halloween costume that your kids can wear with long sleeves and will still work fine with a jacket.
4. If you are planning to order a Halloween costume online, make sure you measure your kid’s size and don’t go by the age only. Everyone listing should have a size guide to help you choose.
5. What about a Family Halloween costume? It looks great and creates lasting family memories (and some great photos).
