Halloween is not a holiday most of Hong Kong celebrates, but it is big with many expats and there are celebrations in concentrated areas. Although native Hong Kongers don't celebrate the holiday, you will still see Halloween decorations/promotions at businesses and Halloween decor/costumes for sale (although on a MUCH smaller scale than the US). Business still want to capitalize on those that do celebrate Halloween.
Charlotte wanted to be a princess for Halloween so I ordered an Anna dress for Tom to bring back on one of his trips to the US. Tommy could care less what he dressed up as so he decided to wear his firefighter costume from the previous year. Unlike the US where children wear their costumes to school as well as to several parties/trunk or treats/events, I knew he would only wear it on Halloween evening so I didn't care. We are lucky to live in a neighborhood that participates in trick or treating. Less than 1/4 of the houses participate, but there is still plenty of candy for the kids.
We had 4 families over for dinner before heading out to trick or treat. We had a great time with some festive treats. Charlotte was so excited her friend Olivia came dressed as Elsa. They stuck together like glue all night. The kids got lots of candy and we all had a great time.
