Free Slurpee Alert: Trick-or-Treat at 7-Eleven Canada
Here's a Halloween tradition your kids will actually thank you for. Every year on October 31, 7-Eleven Canada hands out a free small Slurpee to anyone who walks in wearing a costume. We're expecting it back for 2026, and this year it lands on a Saturday. That means no rushing home from school, no scarfing dinner, and a whole afternoon to get into the Halloween spirit.
Get a Free Slurpee at 7Eleven to Kick off Trick or Treating
It's the easiest treat of the night. Show up at a participating 7-Eleven in costume, say "trick or treat" at the counter, and walk out with a free small Slurpee. Not a Slurpee person? Last year you could pick a small hot chocolate instead, which is a solid choice on a cold Edmonton night.
When: Saturday, October 31, 2026 (expected)
Where: Participating 7-Eleven stores across Canada
Cost: Free small Slurpee when you come in costume
With Halloween on a Saturday, plan the Slurpee run as your official start to the night. Get everyone dressed a little early, snap the costume photos while it's still light out, then head to your neighbourhood 7-Eleven for the first treat of the day.
A few tips to make it smooth:
Skip the mask. 7-Eleven has asked costumed customers to leave masks at home in past years. Face paint and makeup are your friends.
Go in the afternoon. Stores get busy once trick-or-treating starts, and you'll want the Slurpee finished before the candy collecting begins.
Grab one for yourself. Adults in costume count too. A witch hat totally counts. Probably.
Pack a spare layer. Frozen drink plus Alberta October equals chilly kids. Toss mitts in your pocket for later.
Mark your Calendars for November 7
Missed Halloween? 7-Eleven has also given away free small Slurpees on November 7, known as Reverse 7-11 Day. Keep that one in your back pocket.
