With Halloween around the corner, DoorDash Canada has unveiled two timely partnerships with Michaels and Spirit Halloween to meet the demands of last-minute shoppers. 

As one in three Canadians reportedly wait until the final week before Halloween to start their shopping, DoorDash says its initiative provides easy access to costumes, decor, and party supplies, delivered straight to customers’ doors.

By collaborating with these major retailers, DoorDash expands its offerings beyond food delivery, catering to Canadians’ seasonal needs while ensuring convenience for last-minute planners. 

Lewis Matthews, Head of Grocery and Retail Partnerships at DoorDash Canada

Lewis Matthews, Head of Grocery and Retail Partnerships at DoorDash Canada, noted the significance of this partnership, saying, “Halloween is a perfect occasion to experience DoorDash like never before, as customers can access almost anything they need, from candy corn to costumes and arts and crafts.”

Michaels Brings DIY Halloween Supplies to Your Doorstep

Michaels, North America’s largest specialty arts and crafts retailer, is now available on DoorDash, empowering Canadians to bring their creative Halloween ideas to life with ease. This new partnership spans over 130 Michaels locations across Canada. Customers can now order from tens of thousands of products, with a wide range of seasonal supplies ready to be delivered within an hour.

Heather Bennett, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Ecommerce at Michaels

Heather Bennett, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Ecommerce at Michaels, expressed excitement over the collaboration. “Our partnership with DoorDash arrived just in time to help more Canadian customers create memorable Halloween experiences, whether they’re perfecting their DIY decor or stocking up on last-minute party supplies.”

The expansion in convenience allows Canadians to take their creativity to the next level by ensuring access to all the essentials they need to decorate their homes or prepare for Halloween parties—all without leaving home.

Spirit Halloween and DoorDash: Get Costumes Delivered in Under an Hour

In addition to Michaels, DoorDash has also teamed up with Spirit Halloween, the world’s largest Halloween costume store. The partnership provides Canadians with an easy solution for finding and receiving costumes and accessories quickly, perfect for those who need a last-minute outfit.

With over 70 locations available on DoorDash across Canada, Spirit Halloween shoppers can now choose from thousands of costumes and accessories, delivered within an hour in many cases.

From spooky, ghost-inspired costumes to fun, family-friendly animal outfits, the variety of costumes available will meet the needs of all ages and preferences. 

To celebrate these new partnerships, DoorDash is offering a limited-time promotion. Until October 31, customers can use the promo code BOO25 to enjoy 25% off their next order of $25 or more at participating stores, including Michaels and Spirit Halloween.
