The spookiest day of the year is upon us and although many traditional Halloween activities look different this year, one thing remains the same: candy!
To make the spooky holiday feel special at home, we wanted to focus on those who need it most: parents. In a new Dash-oween survey of 1,000 parents, we found 84% of parents admit to stealing their kids’ Halloween candy.
To help parents treat themselves this year without the highly-awaited candy haul from trick or treating outings this Halloween, we’ve teamed up with one of the world’s leading candy companies, Mars Wrigley, to give parents a treat of their own. Mars Wrigley produces some beloved candy brands, including SNICKERS, M&M’s, TWIX, SKITTLES and ORBIT, to name a few.
On Halloween, families can get a free ‘Parents Only’ candy bundle through 16 DoorDash DashMarts while supplies last. It’s so convenient that it’s like taking candy from a baby. Thankfully, parents won’t have to steal their kids’ candy anymore thanks to this exclusive offer.
How it works:
- Simply open up your DoorDash app and select DashMart
- Select your ‘Parents Only’ bundle and check out
- Use promo code PARENTS at checkout to get your ‘Parents Only’ Candy bundle for free* while supplies last
- Your order will be delivered to your door — and watch out for your Ding-Dong-Dasher with contactless delivery
Where it works: This offer is exclusively available in Dashmarts across 16 cities in the US — Chicago, Minneapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dallas, Salt Lake City, the greater Phoenix area, Redwood City, CA, San Diego, Baltimore, Denver, Sacramento, Los Gatos, CA, Houston, Tempe, AZ, and Concord, CA.
The treats don’t stop there. We’re also offering customers $5 off a purchase of $20 or more at all DashMarts and any eligible convenience store when they add candy to their cart. The promo will run from October 28 through Halloween (10/31) while supplies last.
If you’re wondering how parents are celebrating this year, the Dash-oween survey also found:
- What candy will parents miss stealing from their kids the most? SNICKERS reign supreme as parents #1 favorite candy selected by 26% of Americans, followed by TWIX (16%) and M&M’S (15%);
- While most parents plan to celebrate Halloween this year by staying home and watching scary movies (62%), decorating their spaces (61%), dressing up (58%) or handing out candy (55%) — many are sad to be missing out on the festivities;
- 88% of parents will miss at least one major form of celebrating Halloween this year due to COVID-19 — with 55% wishing they could attend a party and 51% wishing they could take kids trick or treating;
- And 40% of parents are considering having candy delivered to their door this Halloween, primarily due to COVID-19 safety concerns (30%).
- While 34% plan to order their kids’ favorite meal for Halloween dinner at home.
