I'm not sure google trends is enough to say it's more popular. On the contrary, I'd argue more people googling it means more people don't know what it is.

Yes, the type of query here is important. Are people asking Google where the Halloween party is at? Or costume ideas? Etc. Just this Trendline is insufficient to support the claim the title of this post makes.

Halloween is just what we call the celebration at this time of year in the US. In Mexico it's s the Day of the Dead. I know they have very different aspects and a somewhat different vibe to them, but it's not one versus the other.

People celebrate Christmas in different ways too Doesn't mean that one is going to take over the other just because some people googled it more. These types of metrics are really stupid.

You’re wrong but okay, thanks for trying. In Mexico, it has always been “día de muertos”.
