Pumpkins have been traditionally used for Halloween due to how easy it is to sculpt them. The tradition comes from Ireland and the pagan feast of Samhain. It was believed that vegetables could scare away bad spirits, and the Irish used to carve faces on turnips during the holiday (also referred to as All Hallows Eve or Hallows Day) to materialize their beliefs. The tradition was brought to America by Irish immigrants . In America, they came across pumpkins (harvested during fall), which are much easier to carve than other vegetables and became identifying hallmarks of the holiday.

The modern celebration of the holiday involves more inclusive and fun traditions, such as kids trick or treating for candy, dressing up in costumes, carving pumpkins like Jack O Lanterns, and spooky decorations.
