This isn’t a trick. Early predictions say Halloween 2021 will be all treats. Particularly when it comes to candy sales. According Progressive Grocer, consumers are amping up holiday celebrations to make up for lost time during 2020, so Halloween is tracking to be the biggest ever. Online search volume for the term “Halloween” is up to 328,500 searches per week which is high for this time of year analytics platform, Trendalytics reports. What these numbers tell us is customers are hunting early for items to make their Halloween spooktacular. Halloween simply wouldn’t be Halloween without plenty of chocolate.
Holidays aside, 2020 made chocolate an all-around best seller, with the National Confectioners Association reporting $21.9B in chocolate sales. Chocolate sales continue to stay high into 2021, according to Candy & Snack Today.
