Halloween is a massive opportunity for Shopify dropshippers in 2025, with billions spent annually on costumes, decorations, and spooky gear. Shoppers go “crazy” for Halloween, making it one of the biggest seasonal rushes of the year. In fact, US consumers spent a record $12.2 billion on Halloween in 2023 (slightly down to $11.6 billion in 2024). Globally, Halloween represents a $10 billion+ market for online sellers. In short, the demand for seasonal novelty items is huge – and early birds get the best sales. Plan your campaigns by late September and stock these in-demand products now to maximize profits.
Studies show popular Halloween categories include costumes, decorations, and party supplies. Costumes remain top-sellers, but unique decor (like animated props and thematic lighting) also draw big crowds. As one dropshipping guide notes, Halloween’s “unique mix of fun and fright” creates a market eager for spooky decorations and party supplies, making it “one of the best times of the year for online sellers to cash in.”. Effective marketing is key – think viral TikTok videos, themed ad campaigns, and early promotions – but the real secret is stocking the right products. The following seven trending items are poised to be best sellers for Halloween 2025 on Shopify.
Halloween Advent Calendar

Advent calendars aren’t just for Christmas anymore – Halloween countdown calendars have exploded in popularity. Inspired by traditions from October 1st through Halloween, these calendars come with 24 or 30 little drawers or boxes. Each day unveils a treat or toy (often Halloween figurines, candies, or mini games), building excitement all month long. They make great gifts or family activities: imagine kids (and TikTok creators) joyfully opening a new surprise each day to get closer to Oct 31. In fact, Good Morning America notes that Halloween lovers have “adopted” advent calendars as a fun way to “mark each day in October” with treats. Whether pre-filled with candy and jokes or empty for DIY surprises, these calendars create a countdown ritual that families love.
-
Features & Appeal: A typical Halloween advent calendar is a reusable wooden or cardboard box with pull-out drawers or envelopes. Designs include haunted houses, pumpkins, ghosts, or even themed collectibles. Many sets (especially on TikTok-friendly stores) use sensory toys or pop-it toys as the “treats” inside. These calendars are made of non-toxic, sturdy materials so they can be kept and reused year after year. The daily surprise element makes them interactive and highly shareable: each open feels like a mini-celebration. They appeal to kids, families, and planners looking to build holiday excitement. Because Halloween advent calendars were originally Christmas items, their novelty for Halloween adds a fun, fresh twist (think pumpkin spice instead of candy canes).
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Bundle with Halloween Treats: Pair the advent calendar with small toy or candy packs in your store. Encourage buyers to “fill in” the calendar with your products.
-
Social Media Countdown: Launch a Halloween social campaign on TikTok/Instagram featuring one daily calendar reveal. Use trending Halloween songs and hashtags (#HalloweenAdventCountdown, #SpookySeason) to drive engagement.
-
Limited-Time Urgency: Emphasize scarcity and shipping deadlines (“Order by Oct 10 to start your countdown!”). Countdown timers on your site or email campaigns can boost conversions by playing into the advent concept.
-
Family Targeting: Run ads targeting parents and teachers – mention how calendars provide “daily fun for kids” and emphasize safety (non-toxic, durable).
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: Advent calendars can be sourced via AliExpress or CJdropshipping, where simple wooden or cardboard sets range from ~$2–$5 wholesale. High-quality, themed calendars (with premade toys) might cost $8–$10 each. You can list them on Shopify around $20–$30. That translates to rough profit margins of ~50–70% (e.g. a $5 cost, $20 price yields ~75% margin). Since these are seasonal, consider ordering samples early for quality checks, and offer options like plain vs. pre-filled versions.
-
Viral Potential: The countdown format practically begs for viral content. Influencers and parents love filming “daily openings” or DIY Halloween countdown setups. Imagine a TikTok challenge like #31SpookyDays, where creators share each calendar day’s surprise. Because the product itself builds anticipation, it naturally encourages repeat views. Plus, the visual of a spooky calendar full of colorful toys is eye-catching on Instagram. In short, this fun, interactive item has all the makings of a viral TikTok series – perfect for UGC (user-generated content) and driving social buzz.
LED Halloween Bat Lights

Transforming a home into a haunted haven starts with lighting. LED bat lights are a low-cost way to deck walls, ceilings, or trees in ghostly style. These kits typically include a string of battery-powered LEDs in the shape of bats (often iridescent plastic with purple or orange bulbs) – they glow eerily for hours. For example, Target’s Hyde & EEK! Boutique offers a “20ct Milky Iridescent Plastic Bat String Light with Purple LEDs”: 20 bat-shaped lights on a 7.5-foot string, battery-operated with a 6hr-on/18hr-off timer. These lights are indoor/outdoor safe, easy to stick with adhesive or tape, and reusable year after year.
LED bat lights appeal because they instantly set a spooky mood. Imagine a dark porch or bedroom lit by fluttering bat silhouettes – it’s perfect for parties or ambient nightlights for kids. They’re also lightweight and small (great for dropship) but create a big visual impact. The purple or orange glow against dark shadows looks great in videos and photos, which is why home decor influencers and mom bloggers will want them. Plus, unlike real candles, LED lights are safe and durable.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Create Aesthetic Videos: Use Instagram Reels or TikToks to show before/after rooms – one plain room versus the same room festooned with bat lights. The transformation will grab attention on feeds.
-
Cross-Sell Party Decor: Offer bat lights bundled with other Halloween decor (pumpkin garlands, ghost window decals, etc.). Encourage customers to “light up your party” by combining products.
-
Highlight Battery Convenience: Emphasize that these lights need no wires or outlets (battery powered) and include timers. It’s a hassle-free upgrade for last-minute decorators.
-
Use Keywords: Title your product “LED Bat Light String for Halloween Party/Decor”. Include “LED bat lights” and “Halloween lighting” in your SEO descriptions to capture search traffic.
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: Look to AliExpress or CJdropshipping for LED bat light imports. Similar bat light strings sell for around $3–$7 each. You can retail them on Shopify for $15–$25. For example, a 20-light string might cost ~$5 COGS and sell for $20 – that’s a 75% profit margin. Even with some ad spend, the margins are healthy. Note: Because these sets are light, shipping costs are low, and you can mix assortments (purple bats, orange pumpkins) to refresh your listings.
-
Viral Potential: Halloween lighting hacks often go viral. Encourage customers to tag your lights in their #HalloweenDecor posts. The eerie look of glowing bats can become the backdrop for Halloween TikToks (kids in costume, horror story storytelling, etc.). In particular, battery-operated string lights are TikTok favorites – they’re instantly photogenic. Add Halloween-themed hashtags (e.g. #SpookyLights, #HauntedHome) and you could get featured on many decor inspiration pages. Influencers might use them in “spooky room makeover” videos, making this a highly shareable decor element.
Floating Potion Wizard Bowl

Imagine a witch’s cauldron come to life – that’s the charm of the Floating Potion Wizard Bowl. This novelty prop looks like a black plastic cauldron or bowl that floats in the air and emits an eerie glow or mist. Many versions use a hidden motor or magnet under a table: when you place a lightweight plastic bowl over it, the bowl appears to levitate and slowly rotate. Some kits add LED lights or a fog machine (mist maker) to create swirling green “potion vapor” that escapes from the top. The effect is downright magical: it mimics a bubbling witch’s brew for Halloween parties and haunted house setups.
Customers love this because it’s a clever twist on a classic Halloween cauldron. Autods notes that cauldrons “add fun and mystery to any setting” and can serve as candy holders or witch-themed props. A floating potion bowl takes that a step further with special effects. It’s perfect as a party centerpiece: guests drop in dry ice or turn on the LEDs, and suddenly a table becomes a spooky scene. Families will use it to delight trick-or-treaters, and creators will use it as a dramatic shot in spooky TikToks.
-
Features & Appeal: These bowls often include: a wireless base (battery or USB-powered) that drives a fan or a rotating magnet, a lightweight cauldron that hovers, and LED lights/mist to simulate magic. For example, one popular Halloween kit is marketed as “Magic Floating Potion Bowl with LED Lights and Mist Maker”. The bowl is typically black plastic, the color of smoke is green or purple, and it may have spellbook decals. It’s an instant conversation piece – kids might pretend to be wizards, and adults will be amazed at the optical illusion.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Dramatic Video Ad: Your Shopify ad should show the bowl in action – glowing green mist, swirling motion. Use a slow eerie sound or a whimsical spooky tune. Create FOMO by phrasing it as “Your Halloween party’s missing this magic”.
-
Bundle with Themes: Pair the bowl with witch costumes, “potion” label stickers, or candy. Offer a discount for buyers who add complementary items (e.g. “Enchant your set-up – add matching LED candles!”).
-
Tutorial Content: Publish a quick TikTok showing how to set it up (“Place this gadget under the bowl and watch the magic!”). Encourage user-generated content by asking customers to share their own potion videos.
-
Emphasize Novelty: In your product description, highlight it as “not just a decoration, but a magical experience.” Use terms like interactive prop, haunted house effect, and reference witches & wizards theme.
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: Kits like this can be found on AliExpress, Wish, or dropship platforms under “magic floating cauldron”. A typical set (cauldron + base + lights) costs ~$10–$15. You can sell it for $30–$50 on Shopify. That yields roughly 50–70% gross margin. (For example, a $15 COGS set sold at $45 yields ~67% profit before ads.) Since it’s higher-tech, make sure to check seller reviews and test one out before listing. CJdropshipping may carry a branded version (CJ code CJYD2433808) with faster shipping if you need quick turnover.
-
Viral Potential: This product is made for viral videos. Think TikTok: “wizard duel” skits where someone throws dry ice or confetti into the bowl, or surprise-reveal party videos. The floating effect is mesmerizing to watch, especially when paired with a creepy soundtrack. Halloween decor influencers will snap it for their “Haunted Harvest” reels. Because it looks like a DIY magic trick, people will share and repost it widely. Its novelty factor alone – a bowl that floats – practically guarantees smartphone videos, giving your store free exposure when customers post their “I got this crazy potion bowl!” moments.
Halloween Bedding Set

Home decor is a big part of seasonal sales. A Halloween-themed bedding set (comforter, duvet cover, pillowcases) lets shoppers take Halloween spirit into the bedroom. Imagine a cozy comforter printed with jack-o’-lanterns, bats, or black cats – it turns any bed into a festive centerpiece. These sets usually include a plush reversible duvet and matching pillow covers, often in standard sizes (twin, queen, etc.). They cater especially to families and college students who want their whole room decorated for October.
The appeal is easy: bedding is a high-touch item, so customers who love Halloween can fully immerse their living space in the theme. Autumn is cooler, so a soft comforter is both practical and decorative. Autods recommends home textiles like pillow covers and blankets as “easy and affordable” ways to add festive flair. A themed bedding set is the next step up – it’s a splashier investment but still quite affordable (often under $80 for a full set). Plus, unlike costumes or candy, bedding lasts all season (and beyond), so buyers feel they’re getting good value.
-
Features & Appeal: A typical Halloween bedding set includes one comforter and two pillow shams. Materials vary (microfiber is common for easy printing and machine washability). Designs range from cute (cartoon pumpkins and ghosts) to chic (monochrome skull patterns) to frightening (blood-red cauldrons). Many sets are instagrammable: for example, a neutral gray duvet with chic black bat silhouettes will look great in photos. These also make fun gifts (e.g. “Spooky season bundle” with a blanket and pillow). The soft, warm material fits the fall mood – a seller notes blankets are “perfect for snuggling up on chilly October nights”, and bedding extends that warmth all around the sleeper.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Room Makeover Content: Show a before-and-after bedroom. Use TikTok/Instagram Reels to reveal a plain bed, then snap to the same bed fully decorated in your Halloween set (perhaps with jack-o’-lanterns and candles around). The dramatic reveal will entice viewers.
-
Use Pinterest & Instagram: This is a visual product. Create lifestyle images with kids jumping on the bed, or a cozy reading corner with the Halloween duvet. Share on Pinterest under “Halloween bedroom ideas” to tap into seasonal decor searchers.
-
Bundle with Throw & Pillows: Upsell with matching Halloween blankets or decor pillows (e.g. “Add on our Spooky Pumpkin Plush Blanket”). Customers love a cohesive set.
-
Highlight Quality: Emphasize thread count or softness (“lightweight microfiber, machine washable”). Stress that it’s big enough for guest bedrooms or dorms.
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: Halloween bedding is sold on AliExpress and may require longer shipping (full sets are bulky). CJdropshipping has some in the marketplace (CJCS2476359). A typical twin comforter set might cost ~$25–$35, while queen/king are ~$40–$60. You can retail them at $80–$120. For example, a $30 cost set sold for $100 yields a 70% margin. (Even accounting for shipping, this category can be lucrative.) Because these items are pricier, ensure compelling imagery. It may also help to stock a few via fast domestic warehouses for faster delivery.
-
Viral Potential: “Room tour” videos are huge on TikTok, and a Halloween bedroom screams shareable content. Encourage customers to tag you showing off their spookified bedroom. Many influencers do seasonal room decor reveals – your bedding set could be the star of a “My Halloween Decor” video. Also, since bedding is Instagram-friendly, pics of kids in costumes on the bed or pets sleeping on the spooky comforter will organically circulate. Share user photos or do a contest (“Best Halloween Bedroom Decor”) to further boost engagement.
Devil Eyes Light for Windshield

Step up the spook factor on the road with Devil Eye LED lights for cars and trucks. These are animated eye-shaped light bars that stick to the inside of a windshield. When turned on, they glow eerily (often in red or green) and can blink or flow like menacing eyes staring out. Some are built as a flexible LED matrix, controllable via remote or app, offering patterns like “devil eyes”, racing stripes, or scary emojis. They essentially transform any car into a Halloween prop – perfect for nightlife cruises or haunted hayrides.
The appeal is immediate: it’s a spectacular car accessory for enthusiasts and casual drivers alike. Autods notes that “spooky car accessories are an underrated niche” and are gaining traction among hardcore Halloween fans. Drivers use them to surprise trick-or-treaters or to stand out in parades. It’s a playful prank item – children (and late-night drivers) will be double-taking at cars that suddenly flash glowing eyes. Because these lights are bright (some advertise “full-color LED eye graphics that stand out at night”), they also serve as mood lighting for Halloween road trips.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Demo Videos: Show a car at night with and without the lights. Capture the glowing eyes effect in a quick clip. These visuals are extremely shareable on social media (think #CarTok meets #SpookyTok).
-
DIY Customization: Emphasize programmability (“DIY animations through a smartphone app”). Car enthusiasts love gadgets they can tweak. Mention patterns like “red devil eyes, scrolling text, even a haunted jack-o’-lantern face”.
-
Bundle with Other Car Decor: Sell together with vinyl decals or battery-operated pumpkin lights for the rear window. Encourage customers to give a “complete haunted car makeover.”
-
Seasonal Safety Note: While marketing for fun, also note that since it’s LED, it’s safe (won’t blind oncoming drivers) and can be turned off. Safety sells (especially to parents).
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: Look for “windshield devil eyes LED” on AliExpress or dropship sites. CJ’s marketplace might have a related item (e.g. code CJYD2348290). Wholesale price is around $10–$20 per set. Selling price can be $30–$50. For example, buying at $15 and selling at $45 yields a 66% profit margin. Remote-control or app-controlled versions can justify higher retail. Keep in mind compatibility (12V cars), and ensure clear instructions – these are technical products, but easy to install.
-
Viral Potential: Car mods are TikTok gold. Videos of strange car lighting trends (like RGB underglow) have millions of views; devil eyes taps into both that car culture and Halloween. Encourage buyers to film their cars revving up and the eyes lighting up, using trending audio (#GhostRider or #SpookyVibes). Seasonal car meets and “haunted convoy” themes on TikTok also help visibility. In short, if you want free viral promotion, customers’ car-reveal videos will do it – it’s a product people love to film and share.
Wearable Dinosaur Skeleton Plush

This adorable costume/prop brings the Jurassic (and just a bit of creepiness) to Halloween. The Wearable Dinosaur Skeleton Plush is essentially a soft, plush skeleton of a T-Rex or similar dinosaur that you can “wear” like a jacket or stuffed costume. Picture a big, fluffy hood with T-Rex skull features and long puppet-like arms and tail. Kids (or even adults) can slip their arms into the leg pockets and “roar” around, looking like a cute, chubby dinosaur skeleton. It’s quirky, warm, and utterly photogenic.
The appeal is broad: it’s a crossover between costume and cuddle toy. Kids love dinosaurs, and adding the plush factor makes it safe and fun for indoors. It can also double as a blanket or pillow when not worn. Plus, it’s something you don’t see every Halloween – unlike inflatable costumes, this one is fuzzy and interactive. Even pets can join in: imagine your cat or dog snug under a floppy T-Rex hat.
-
Features & Appeal: These outfits are usually one-size-fits-most (like Halloween blanket costumes). They include a dinosaur hood (complete with eyeballs and teeth), a bone-printed body, and a movable tail. Many are made of soft fleece or plush fabric for comfort. They often come in black/white (skeleton style) or green (classic dino color). Because it’s plush, it’s warm – ideal for chilly October evenings. The skull design brings a bit of spookiness, but the overall look is cute. It’s perfect for costume parties, trick-or-treating, or even festive lounging. The novelty factor is huge – people can’t help but smile (and take photos) when they see someone stomping around in a giant plush dinosaur outfit.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
User-Generated Videos: Encourage customers to share “dino roars” or Halloween costume reveal videos. TikTok loves animal costumes, so a video of someone adorably flailing in the tail can easily trend.
-
Size & Safety Info: Clearly note who can fit in it (kids vs. teens vs. adults). Highlight that it’s fire-retardant material, machine washable, etc. These practical details reassure buyers of quality.
-
Cross-Sell with Makeup: Many buyers might pair this with face paint. Offer (or suggest) pumpkin-face or skeleton face paint kits as an add-on (“Complete the look!”).
-
Highlight Family Fun: Position it as “Matching family costumes” – maybe mom and dad get skeleton jackets, and kids get dino skeletons. Group costume bundles sell well.
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: These plush costumes can be sourced from AliExpress or directly from CJ (code CJJT2476376 is one example). Wholesale cost is around $10–$20 depending on quality. Retail prices on Shopify can be $30–$50. That means you’re looking at around 50–60% profit margins (e.g. buy at $15, sell at $40). The key is adorable product photos. This item does well in bundle offers, too (bundle with a matching dinosaur bone toy or glow-in-dark skeleton decor).
-
Viral Potential: Dinosaurs and skeletons are perpetual social media darlings. Think Halloween TikTok challenges: kids doing the “Jurassic Jump,” or pets wearing mini matching costumes. The unique wearable plush quality makes for highly sharable content (the contrast of scary skeleton motif with a fluffy costume is funny and endearing). By tagging this with #KidsHalloweenCostume and #DinoRoar, you tap into existing viral trends. Influencers can do “try-on” videos or “2-minute toddler riot in costume” for tons of views. In short, it’s cute, funny, and video-friendly – all ingredients for a viral hit.
Dinosaur Food Plate

Lastly, a fun mealtime gadget: the Dinosaur Food Plate. This is usually a kid’s plate shaped like a dinosaur or even a dinosaur with separate food compartments, often accompanied by a dinosaur-themed utensil set. Some versions have silicone suction bases, cutouts (like dinosaur footprints where food goes), or even a small “volcano” reservoir for dips. The idea is to make eating a game: parents love that it might encourage picky eaters to finish their meals, and kids are thrilled to feed “T-Rex” or enjoy their veggies on a stegosaurus tail.
The appeal is straightforward: it combines two massive trends – dinosaur mania and clever kid products. Given how popular dinosaur-themed baby and toddler items are (cloths, toys, etc.), a novelty plate fits right in. Social media especially loves these “feeds baby like a T-Rex” clips. Many parents post videos of their kids using funny plates or utensils; a dinosaur plate invites that exact kind of sharing. Plus, it’s a great gift for toddler birthdays and makes dinner more festive in October.
-
Features & Appeal: Common designs include: a molded plate shaped like a dinosaur (green or orange), often in sections so you can put different foods (rice in one part, veggies in the tail, dip in the “footprint” hole). Materials are usually food-grade silicone or BPA-free plastic. Some plates come with a matching spoon/fork shaped like bones. The colors are bright and kid-friendly. They’re often labeled “BPA-free, easy clean, microwave safe,” which reassures parents. Because it’s tied to a popular theme, kids feel eating is more like play. Restaurants and toy stores alike carry similar items.
-
Marketing Tips (Shopify Sellers):
-
Parent Influencers: Partner with mommy bloggers or TikTok family accounts. Send a free sample and ask them to film mealtime; an adorable toddler “roaring” at peas will convince thousands of parents.
-
Bundle Meals: Suggest recipe ideas on your blog or Instagram – e.g., “Dino Veggie Medley” or dinosaur-shaped pancakes, to go along with the plate. This adds value and keeps people on your page.
-
Emphasize Practicality: Highlight that silicone/dishwasher-safe plates prevent mess (great for toddlers). Mention eco-friendly aspect (“promotes healthy eating without plastic waste”).
-
SEO Keywords: Use phrases like “kids dinosaur dinnerware set,” “Toddler dino feeding plate,” and “funny baby mealtime.”
-
-
Suppliers & Margins: These plates are plentiful on AliExpress, Amazon, and Etsy. A standard dinosaur plate set (plate + spoon + fork) sells wholesale for about $3–$5. On Shopify, you could price it $15–$20. For example, buying at $5 and selling at $18 yields a 72% margin. They’re small and light, so no big shipping issues. Keep in mind Amazon often sells similar sets, so differentiate with unique designs or bundling (e.g. a plate plus a dino-themed placemat).
-
Viral Potential: Dinosaurs are eternally Instagrammable – check TikTok with #dinosaurplate, and you’ll find family videos with millions of views. Meal-time videos (baby giggling as they scoop up food) are hugely popular. You can capitalize by encouraging hashtags like #MessyButMagical (as one Instagram account calls it) or #DinoDinner. With cute videos of toddlers playfully “fighting” the food on a dinosaur’s back, your product can easily catch on in parent forums and social feeds. October adds extra push: position it as “make Halloween dinner fun” and mom influencers will share party tablescapes featuring the plate, driving organic sales.
