In the United States, the “trunk-or-treat” tradition has been gaining popularity as a safe and convenient alternative to traditional door-to-door trick-or-treating. This event involves community members gathering in a designated area, often a parking lot, where they decorate their vehicle trunks and distribute candy to children. The centralized location reduces the need for children to navigate streets and approach unfamiliar homes, enhancing safety and fostering a sense of community.
