Halloween's Most Popular Kids' Costumes in the US (2005–2026)

This video shows the ten most popular Halloween costumes among American children every year from 2005 to 2026, as ranked by the National Retail Federation's annual Halloween survey. Bars show NRF's rank, not head counts, because NRF has ranked the top ten every year but counted children only for its top few costumes since 2016.
