Halloween has certainly come a long way since its early days. Nowadays, even our pets get to join in on the fun!
According to a 2025 survey by the National Retail Federation, 23% of Americans celebrating Halloween planned to dress up their furry friends.
And if you’re wondering what the most popular pet costume was, it was a pumpkin! Hot dogs and bumblebees were also among the favorites.
All this Halloween fun comes with a pretty hefty price tag, too. According to the National Retail Federation, total Halloween spending in the US is expected to reach a whopping $13.5 billion in 2026, with around $4.4 billion going toward costumes alone.
In fact, the average consumer plans to spend around $115 on the holiday this year. That’s quite a bit of money for a celebration that lasts just one day!
