Updated September 30, 2026
Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday, October 31, so trick-or-treating can start earlier in the evening and parties can run later. This page collects the Canadian deals that help with costumes, candy, a well-lit porch and the part every Canadian parent knows about: fitting a costume over a warm coat.
The deals section below updates itself twice a day, so costume and candy offers show up here as stores post them through October.
Halloween 2026 at a glance
- Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026. Halloween is not a statutory holiday, so stores keep regular Saturday hours.
- Dress for the weather: late October evenings are cold in most of Canada. Size costumes up so they fit over a jacket.
- Light the path: a lit walkway and a flashlight or headlamp for each group make trick-or-treating safer.
- Buy candy last, decor first: candy prices rarely drop before Halloween, while decorations often go on sale earlier in October.
- November 1: stores usually start clearing out leftover Halloween stock the day after, which is the time to buy decorations for next year.

Spending less on Halloween
- Compare candy by unit price. Bulk boxes at warehouse clubs and grocery chains are not always cheaper per piece. The shelf tag’s price per 100 grams is the quickest way to compare.
- Check the flyers. Grocery and drugstore flyers usually carry Halloween candy offers in the last two weeks of October. Our weekly flyers page links to each chain’s current flyer.
- Build costumes around clothes you already own. A warm jacket, a hat and a few accessories go further than a thin one-piece costume that cannot fit over a coat.
- Buy next year’s decorations on November 1. Leftover Halloween stock is usually cleared at a discount right after the holiday.

Frequently asked questions
What day is Halloween 2026?
Saturday, October 31, 2026.
Is Halloween a statutory holiday in Canada?
No. Stores, banks and offices keep their normal hours. In 2026 it falls on a Saturday, so regular Saturday hours apply.

How do I fit a costume over a winter jacket?
Buy the costume one size up, choose loose styles like capes, tunics or oversized tops, and pick a jacket colour that works with the costume so it looks like part of the outfit.
