Trick or Treat Traditions: Intriguing Tales of Halloween Fun Facts (Busting Back Episode)
Ever wondered about the spooky origins of Halloween and how it evolved into the holiday we know today?
In this BUSTING BACK EPISODE, embark on a chilling journey as Jackie and Ella unravel the suspenseful history and traditions of this spectral celebration and tons of trick or treating fun facts / Halloween fun facts for kids!
The journey begins with the start of Halloween, rooted in Celtic festivals marking the end of summer and onset of death-associated cold seasons, and how it was later influenced by the Romans and their own festive customs.
From there, we hop across the Atlantic, unmasking how this eerie European tradition blended with Native American customs to morph into a uniquely American celebration.
With the influx of Irish immigrants in the 19th century, Halloween began to weave its web all over the nation. The treasured custom of trick-or-treating didn't miss our radar either.
Brace yourself as we navigate through its history, tracing back to early Celtic and Roman Catholic festivals and the 9th-century All Souls Day.
Finally, we cast light on the sweet side of Halloween - candy history!
Learn about the creation of the quintessential candy corn by the Golitz family and the fascinating tale of the 1923 Chicken Dinner Candy Bar.
But the Halloween magic doesn't end in America.
We'll jet around the world, unearthing Halloween traditions in different cultures, from the Hungry Ghost Festival in Hong Kong to Dia das Bruchas in Brazil.
So, grab your broomstick and join us for a wickedly enlightening adventure into Halloween's past.Support the show
