With all this talk about hot Halloween costumes in 2017, let’s not forget the most important member of our trick-or-treating troupe: the kids!

We’ve dug up some of the hottest kids’ Halloween costumes to expect in 2017, so you don’t have to play the guessing game with them this year. Impress your kids by knowing what’s going to be popular at school – way ahead of time!

Classic Batman Costumes

Surprise! Or, not really. The LEGO Batman movie was a huge hit!

Expect to see more of the caped crusader this Halloween, rocking the classic black-and-yellow themed costume. The child-friendly movie follows Batman as the lovable hero, who learns to raise the adopted Robin while saving Gotham City from super villains.

Black/Yellow Batman costumes are going to be a huge hit alongside the classic Green/Red/Yellow Robin Halloween costumes this year. You can bet your batarang on it!

Despicable Me Costumes

The Minions are back in another all-family film starring Gru, our favourite super villain who meets his long-lost brother Dru in Despicable Me: 3!

Not only will you see our favourite minions and kids again, but the movie will also introduce new characters like Dru, and the 80’s inspired antagonist, Balthazar.

The perfect costume for a father/child trick-or-treating session!

HatchimalS Costumes

Hatchimals are cute creatives that live inside of eggs. They’re really cool!

These toys can walk, dance, play games, and even repeat what you say in their own voice. They’re a hit amongst kids (and you already know that, if you have kids) – and sure to be a popular costume this Halloween.

Expect to see Pengualas (Penguin/Koala) and Draggles (Dragon/Eagles) as popular Hatchimal costumes.

The Smurfs Costumes

This computer-animated movie is a new adaptation of the classic Saturday morning cartoon. The Lost Village stars Smurfette as the heroic lead, on a journey to find a lost village inhabited by other smurfs!
