Stewart’s announces winner of 2026 Halloween Costume Contest

We saw best friends from a children's book series.

There was a family doing their best impressions of Morticia, Gomez and Wednesday Addams.

We even saw heroes and villains from a video game and a sci-fi television series.

In the end, it was Karen C. of Little Falls, New York, who submitted the winning costume photo entry. The costumes were the heckling-duo Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show, who stopped by Stewart's to sample a couple milkshakes while taking a break from their cantankerous commentary.

Karen C. is the winner of a $200 Stewart's My Money Card for her winning costume photo entry!

Choosing a winner for the 2026 Stewart's Halloween Costume Contest was no easy task. There were many great costumes worthy of an honorable mention.

The judges also loved entries from Aila C. and her costume Hornet from the video game Silksong, and Ronan S.'s entry of a Fireworks half gallon ice cream!

We also had Liza L.'s costume photo of Frog and Toad from the popular children's book series known by the same name, and a Stewart's Lego Man by Beckett W:

Here is a look at some other great entries: From left (The Addams Family, The youngest, oldest Stewart's fan, Demogorgon from Stranger Things, Stabbed by an ice cream cone, and a Stewart's Ice Cream NeeDoh)
