Star Wars
With such a varied universe there are so many Star Wars costumes to choose from. Although groups like the 501st legion have amazing but expensive outfits though kids don’t need to spend so much to look as good. A dressing gown with the hood pulled up makes a convincing jedi!

The popularity of The Mandalorian may convince kids to dress up as Grogu (read Baby Yoda).
Little Mermaid
Disney announced yet another remake of an animated classic back in September as the Little Mermaid will be coming to cinemas in 2023. Halle Bailey has been cast as Ariel, igniting a racist firestorm on social media as people attacked her inclusion.
However, a pushback against the trolls showed reactions of black children reacting to a Disney princess that reflects them.

Stranger Things
The fourth series of Stranger Things came out in 2022 featuring a young cast. It gives plenty of opportunities for youngsters to dress up as the heroes and villains.
