Under The Umbrella Tree Halloween Special (1991)

Under the Umbrella Tree was a cozy fixture of Meghan’s childhood Disney Channel viewing, but this Canadian children’s favorite is completely new to Lyle. For the Xennial Countdown, they revisit Holly, Iggy, Gloria and Jacob—and the wonderfully simple Halloween special that brought the holiday into their already delightfully unusual household. 

From costumes and trick-or-treating to a little practical Halloween safety and some wonderfully witchy fun, this is the kind of seasonal television that could make an already-beloved childhood show feel even more special. Meghan revisits a Halloween memory she hasn’t forgotten, while Lyle discovers what made this little corner of early ’90s television so memorable. 

27 days until Halloween!
