This trope occurs when an older child or teenage character (usually about 10-17) decides they are too old to trick-or-treat on Halloween, usually due to peer pressure. There may be clues to their dissatisfaction, such as not fitting into their old costumes, not being scared by the decorations, being unhappy when they get substandard treats (such as rocks or Razor Apples), or just not getting into the holiday spirit anymore. A variation occurs when a whole group of characters decides that they are too old to trick-or-treat, but one character does not and tries to convince the group that anyone can trick-or-treat.
