As Halloween approaches, Mars Wrigley—producer of some of the well-known candy brands such as M&M'S, SNICKERS and SKITTLES—has announced its Halloween plans to bring fun to Newark, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Toronto.
82% of consumers plan to celebrate Halloween in 2021 and 45% plan to attend a community Halloween party. With that in mind, Mars Wrigley will support local communities it serves by hosting a variety of celebrations in:
- Newark, New Jersey: Home of its Mars Wrigley U.S. headquarters
- Chicago, Illinois: Mars Wrigley global headquarters
- Washington, D.C.: Proximate to Mars, Incorporated global headquarters
- Toronto, Ontario: Mars Wrigley Canada head office
The M&M'S Halloween Treat Truck will appear in Newark, Toronto and Washington, DC this year. The truck will distribute Mars Wrigley treats to members of the community and frontline workers in select locations in those markets.
