「不给糖就搗蛋」是萬聖夜的主要活動之一，流行於英國、美國、加拿大等地区。小孩裝扮成各種鬼怪，逐門逐户按響鄰居的門鈴，大叫“Trick or Treat!”（意即「不請客的話就搗蛋！」），主人家（可能同樣穿著恐怖服裝）便會拿出一些糖果、巧克力或是小禮物，有些人更會給些許零錢。部分家庭甚至使用聲音特效和製煙機器營造恐怖氣氛。小孩一晚取得的糖果往往數以袋計，整袋整袋地搬回家。
在蘇格蘭，小孩要糖果時會說：“The sky is blue, the grass is green, may we have our Halloween.”（“天是藍色，草是綠色，齊來慶祝萬聖節前夜。”），然後以唱歌跳舞等表演來博得糖果。

It is widely believed that many Hallowe'en traditions have evolved from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain which was Christianised by the early Church.... All Hallows' Eve falls on 31st October each year, and is the day before All Hallows' Day, also known as All Saints' Day in the Christian calendar. The Church traditionally held a vigil on All Hallows' Eve when worshippers would prepare themselves with prayers and fasting prior to the feast day itself. The name derives from the Old English 'hallowed' meaning holy or sanctified and is now usually contracted to the more familiar word Hallowe'en. ...However, there are supporters of the view that Hallowe'en, as the eve of All Saints' Day, originated entirely independently of Samhain ...

Rather than compete, liturgy planners would do well to consider ways of including children in the celebration of these vigil Masses. For example, children might be encouraged to wear Halloween costumes representing their patron saint or their favorite saint, clearly adding a new level of meaning to the Halloween celebrations and the celebration of All Saints' Day.

All Hallow's Eve was a Western (Anglo) Christian holiday that revolved around commemorating the dead using humor to intimidate death itself. Like all holidays, All Hallow's Eve involved traditional treats. The church encouraged an abstinence from meat, which created many vegetarian dishes.
