Elsewhere in our interview, Carmody, the reality star and mother of one, opened up about her partnership with Ferrero, one of the world’s largest sweet-packaged food businesses and the company behind beloved treats like Nutella, Kinder, and Tic Tacs.
As part of their partnership, Carmody is promoting the company’s “Adultoween” campain, reminding adults that Halloween is as much for grownups as it is for kids.
“You’re never too old to celebrate Halloween! So, this year, my candy jars are full, my dolls are on display, my costume is on, and Ferrero treats are right alongside my bag of crackers,” she said. “Partnering with Ferrero means showing adults everywhere that Adultoween is a VIBE!”
This Halloween, Ferrero is also fielding its third consecutive Adultoween survey to capture the latest trends and findings on this year’s Halloween season and traditions.
“Adultoween started as an insight the Ferrero Group discovered and has grown into a cultural
movement,” said Chad Stubbs, Chief Marketing Officer of Ferrero North America. “We’re excited to see where this year’s trends land and how they’ll shape the way we engage and show up for our fans in bigger and better ways this Halloween and beyond.”
Carmody Reveals This Year’s Halloween Costume
In last year’s findings, Ferrero found that 62% of Americans base their Halloween costumes on pop culture figures, including singers, actors, and even some reality stars, and according to Carmody, that’s one spooky season trend she can totally get behind. “I love dressing up as pop culture,” she told The Blast. “This year, I’m dressing up as one of my favorite Rainbow HIgh Dolls, Bella Parker. So, I love it.”
