A seasonal receptacle, often crafted from plastic or ceramic and shaped like a jack-o’-lantern, serves as a container for distributing confectionery during the Halloween holiday. This item typically appears on doorsteps or tables, filled with assorted sweets for trick-or-treaters.
These themed containers contribute significantly to the festive ambiance of the occasion. Their visual appeal enhances the trick-or-treating experience for children and adults alike. Historically, simple baskets or repurposed containers served this function, but the development of specialized, character-themed vessels has become a prominent feature of contemporary Halloween celebrations.
