History of Halloween + Jarbee Candy Corn Coffee

It's spooky season and we're here to learn about the reason for the season! Steph takes us back in time to tell us the origins of Halloween. We discuss cultural traditions from different countries from the Americas to Europe and how the rise in Christianity changed the pagan traditions to be a lot less fun before the Irish immigrants in America brought the party back.

Steph is not done at Halloween! She also has the backstory to the origins of candy corn to go along with our coffee. We then try Witches Brew, a candy corn flavored coffee from the Jarbee Coffee Company.
