What does it mean to \u2018switch witch\u2019 during Halloween? TikTok: kristyncoleParents all over have started a new trend for their little ones to cut back on sugar and increase the mysticism of Halloween. Whether it\u2019s a yard full of ghouls and goblins or a basket full of fall essentials, Halloween is known to get spooky. And with the highly celebrated holiday right around the corner, parents all over have begun preparing for the neighborhood trick-or-treaters and their own kids. However, Halloween may look slightly different for some children, as parents started a new trend called the \u2018switch witch.\u2019 But what is it? Parents of TikTok debate if their children would like the \u2018switch witch\u2019 or not Parents have taken to TikTok to show others their alternative Halloween plans for their children. Parents have decided to bring the \u2018switch witch\u2019 into the mix to maintain how much candy a child has. First, the children trick-or-treat around the neighborhood, collecting as much candy as usual. Then, when they get home, each child gets to keep just a few pieces of candy. The children then leave their candy buckets outside their front door so the \u2018switch witch\u2019 can come and trade the candy for a cool toy. The following day, when the child awakes, they see the fun items that the \u2018switch witch\u2019 has left them. In reality, the \u2018switch witch\u2019 is the child\u2019s parent, but that is unbeknownst to them, making Halloween even more mystical than it already is. Many people who have seen the viral trend on TikTok have commented on what a great idea it is, saying, \u201cMy kids would be down for this!! They like the experience of going out, but don\u2019t really eat the candy.\u201d As well as, \u201cI\u2019m doing this this year! My son only likes Reese\u2019s so he\u2019s picking a toy!\u201d However, some people did oppose it, as they noted that their children wouldn\u2019t be open to exchanging their candy for a toy, saying, \u201cUnfortunately, my child would want the candy over anything, lol.\u201d As well as, \u201cAs a candy hoarder as a child I know I would have not been besties with the switch witch, hahaha very cool idea though!!\u201d Another cool thing about the \u2018switch witch\u2019 is that although a child may only be able to keep a few pieces of candy, parents can keep the excess throughout the year and treat their kids to it, making for a year-round Halloween party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
