Halloween: Top 5 Most Popular Pet Costumes For 2022

Spooky season is quickly approaching! Woop woop!

With fall drinks and treats returning to menus and temperatures (finally) starting to drop, it’s time to shift into fall mode. For those that partake in the festivities surrounding Halloween, we know that the most fun part of the holiday is picking out costumes and dressing up for the occasion. It’s the one set day a year that you can be literally anything or anybody you want. It’s always so fun to see the different characters everyone chooses and how they decide to put together their costumes. Some buy a full costume already pieced together at the store, and some make their entire costume from scratch. Talk about dedication.

Even more fun than choosing a costume for yourself is choosing one for your pet! Our pets are already the cutest little nuggets in the world. How could they get any cuter? I’ll tell you how. Throw a fire helmet on their head. Heart. Literally. Melting.

A new survey from the National Retail Federation has revealed the most popular pet costumes for Halloween this year chosen by pet owners. After reviewing the list, it’s no wonder why these are the top five. The cuteness overload is nearly too much for any human to handle. And while I was originally planning to dress my dog up in something more unique, these top pet costume ideas are making me second guess everything. Butch would look so cute in all of these!

The fireman costume is gonna be hard to beat this year, but these most popular pet costumes have inspired me and reminded me that it doesn’t take the most originality in the world to conquer Halloween. All that matters is that you have fun with it, and that’s exactly what Butch and I intend to do.

Without further ado, here are the most popular pet costumes for Halloween 2022:

• 5) Witch

  

  It only takes a couple of pieces to put this costume together for your furry friend!

• 4) Bumblebee

  

  Any pet would look ADORBS as a cute little bumblebee.

• 3) Bat

  

  If you can wrangle your pet for long enough to slide on the bat wings, this one is a sure-fire winner.

• 2) Hot Dog

  

  Okay. Butch might have to be a hot dog this year. Sorry, Butch.

• 1) Pumpkin

  

  My heart just skipped a beat. Cutest pumpkin in the patch!

  Things You Need To Try: Best Halloween Treats At Disneyland

  Halloween time at Disneyland® Resort is truly magical.

  Upon entering the park, you’re greeted with fiendish fun from the decorations, music, ambiance and so much more. As an adult, taking the first few steps into the park instantly elicits feelings of joy and innocence. The pure happiness radiating from each person and family makes you feel simply put: happy.

  The park becomes a place of ghoulish activities that include the Haunted Mansion Holiday, Guardians of the Galaxy “Monsters After Dark,” ride and other hauntingly fun experiences that you can only get at Disneyland.

  However, another portion of the park that we need to highlight is the curated and Disney-crafted cuisine. This Halloween season runs from Sept. 2 to Oct. 31, which means that ghoulish sweets and treats will be available during that allotted period of time.

  Disney chefs and mixologist have concocted special recipes and goodies with master culinary skills and, of course, a sprinkle of magic.

  From Halloween-themed hearty meals, special cold brews topped with fresh cream and desserts that are haunted-house scream worthy, Disney’s holiday treats will transport you right to Halloween town, and you simply can’t miss them.

  Along with snacking on the limited-edition treats, you can also enjoy special events that happen during this time such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom Park and “Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade!”

  There’s also dessert parties and other devilishly delightful activities that are uniquely available during this Halloween season.

  Until Oct. 31, attendees will be greeted under the Oogie Boogie at the entrance at Disney California Adventure® Park. If you’re going to Disneyland® Park then you can expect to be greeted by the famous Mickey pumpkin; both acting as symbols that you’re about to enter the most magical place on earth.

  Here are some of our favorite Halloween treats that Disney will offer for this upcoming season. Cheers!
