St. Martin's Day: lanterns, songs and candy

On 11 November, in large parts of the Netherlands and parts of Flanders, children go door to door after dark with a lantern. They sing a song and get a treat as a reward. American candy makes an impression: colourful Airheads, long Laffy Taffy ropes and crackling Pop Rocks are not something you find at every door.

Airheads: individually wrapped and popular with children
