Key Background
Entertainers aren’t the only ones getting into the spooky spirit this year. Senators Mitt Romney and Krysten Sinema dressed as characters from Ted Lasso on Thursday while working at the Capitol. Ever the entrepreneur, Martha Stewart is capitalizing on the holiday by auctioning off NFTs of herself dressed in Halloween costumes, including a digital portrait of her dressed as a naughty nurse. Those expecting trick or treaters Sunday night should stock up on Reese’s Cups, Skittles, M&M’s, Starbursts and Hot Tamales — data from bulk retailer Candystore.com shows they are the most popular Halloween candy. It’s expected that $3 billion was spent on Halloween candy this year, and $10 billion on the holiday overall, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual Halloween spending survey.
