Captions Bus eller godis? That's Swedish for trick or treat!👻 🍭
Halloween is a quite new custom in Sweden. According to Nordiska Museet (the Nordic Museum), the first traces of Halloween in Sweden date back to the 1950 at university campuses, when American exchange students brought their traditions over . 🎃
In the 1980s, quite a few big city restaurants in Sweden began embracing the tradition by organising Halloween evenings.
Since then, the custom has grown into the well-established children's event that it is today in Sweden, partly via the influence of popular culture and the retail industry. Carved-out pumpkins, spooky candy and dress-up parties have become something of a mainstay.
