These 38 Trunk or Treat Ideas Are the Perfect Solution to a Fun, Memorable Halloween
Christmas-Themed Trunk or Treat
@kelsieishappy
It's already October and Halloween is just around the corner. If you're new to #TrunkOrTreating, it's a modern tradition in which kids go "trick or treating" car to car instead of house to house in a parking lot. Each car trunk is decorated with a theme and monitored by a trusted adult who gives out candy and other treats to trunk-or-treaters.
Need some trunk-or-treat inspiration for your car or SUV? Planning a trunk-or-treat event for your church or school? These trunk-or-treat ideas are the perfect solution to a fun yet super easy Halloween.
