Learn about Candies with WTTW | Halloween 2020

Have you ever tried unique Chinese candies? 🍭🍬🍫

Common American candies include chocolate, caramel, and toffee. Kit Kats (奇巧 qíqiǎo) are chocolate wafers. Snickers (士力架 shì lì jià) are chewy chocolate caramel bars. Hershey's kisses (好时之吻 hǎo shí zhī wěn) are chocolate snacks with a unique shape! But Chinese candies are completely different and have many types and flavors! White Rabbit Candy (大白兔奶糖 dàbái tù nǎi táng) is both chewy and sweet. Lucky candy (利是糖 lì shì táng) has a strawberry flavor. Guava candy (番石榴糖 fān shíliú táng) also tastes like fruit! We hope that you will run into these candies while trick or treating this year, or introduce them to your friends.

In America, a classic Halloween tradition is “Trick or Treating”! Each year, children walk around their neighborhood and knock on their neighbors' doors, demanding snacks and sweets! Don't worry though, this tradition is much less intense than it seems — it is a lighthearted joke that everyone enjoys. This year if you want to trick or treat, we recommend you stick to social distancing measures and wear a mask. But regardless of social distancing measures, we guarantee you will have fun!

WTTW's Top 3 Costumes for 2020 | Halloween 2020

Halloween is just around the corner! The tradition of wearing costumes originated in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Back then, people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts! Now, kids and adults wear costumes of all sorts to go trick-or-treating! This year, of course, if you go trick-or-treating, please remember to do so safely: practice social distancing, wear a mask, wash your hands, and follow CDC guidelines! 🍭👻

Window to the World's top 3 costume ideas for 2020 are the ghost, pumpkin, and t-rex!

万圣节就要来临了！装饰打扮自己的这个习俗是从古凯尔特人的萨姆节传承下来的。在那时候，古人们会点起柴火，穿上各种稀奇古怪的服装来吓走鬼魂们！而到了现在，孩子们甚至是大人们也继承了这个传统，以不同的原因打扮自己，并且去挨家挨户的参与“不给糖果就捣乱”的活动。今年，由于特殊情况，当你在参加活动的时候请记着安全措施：保持社交距离，戴上口罩，勤洗手，并且服从疫情控制专家的指导方案！

世界之窗今年（2020）最有创意的装饰前三名是：鬼魂，南瓜，和霸王龙！

你今年打算装扮成什么呢？
