Life in the UK Test 27
During Halloween people carve lanterns out of ______ and put a candle inside of them.
Correct Answer: Pumpkins
Halloween (31 October) is celebrated in the UK with various traditions, including dressing in costumes, trick-or-treating (children going door to door asking for sweets), and carving faces into pumpkins to create lanterns (sometimes called Jack-o'-lanterns).
A candle placed inside creates a glowing effect. Halloween has ancient origins linked to All Hallows' Eve (the night before All Saints' Day on 1 November) and old Celtic festivals.
