E22 Halloween and its curious Celtic origins - British traditions explained in natural English
Manage episode 447747927 series 3577242
🎃 Trick or treat? 🎃
In this episode of English & Beyond, César and I dig into Halloween’s surprising origins, exploring how a Celtic festival became a global phenomenon—with a little (or a lot) of help from the USA.
💡 What we chat about in this episode:
✔️ My non-existent childhood Halloween celebrations 🎭
✔️ Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and why my parents refused to play along
✔️ The Celtic roots of Halloween & why the UK never embraced it (until now)
✔️ How Spain celebrates All Saints' Day—cemeteries, marzipan, and family traditions
✔️ How Halloween became an American mega-industry (and why Starbucks thanks you for your Pumpkin Spice Latte addiction)
✔️ Is Halloween actually about death? Or just another excuse to dress up & party? 🕷️
🎤 PLUS: César shares his tragic first Halloween experience in London...where he was the ONLY one in costume.
