Brought my daughter to a trunk-or-treat and got this so so fun sized pack of peanut M&M's. More of a trick than a treat really.

What is a trunk-or-treat?
For various reasons, not everyone can do traditional trick-or-treating. The idea behind a trunk-or-treat is to provide a more accessible approximation of the experience. It's also another opportunity for Halloween fun for everyone. The way it works is that volunteers, frequently business and other organizations, but also individuals, set up in a parking lot with decorated vehicles and hand out goodies to the kids who show up in their costumes. There are also typically games and other kid activities. And that's all there is to it.
Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it's an unvalidated guess.
Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we're just kind of expected to met kids where they're at. Maybe we're just used to it?
No magic is removed. It's just another Halloween event. Regular trick-or-treating is still a thing that happens. For various reasons, not everyone can participate on Halloween night so this is a good option to have.
