Why Are There Sweets for Halloween?
Halloween, originally a Celtic festival, marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark winter. It was believed that on the night of October 31st, ghosts and other supernatural beings roamed among the living. To ward them off, customs such as wearing costumes, carving pumpkins, and playing pranks developed. The main activity is "Trick or Treat," where children go door-to-door collecting Halloween sweets.

Many big brands like Haribo, Milka, and Ferrero have developed special Halloween sweets with motifs such as pumpkins, ghosts, or spiders.
