The top searched trends are often an indication of what’s hot at the moment and this year’s searches have put Astronauts and Among Us at the top of are list, against some pretty stiff competition, even beating out Tiger King and Baby Yoda.

The top searches are likely due to the popularity of the free video game, Among Us, which pits spaceship crew members against an imposter who is out to kill them and sabotage the ship.

Comparatively to last year, when the top three Halloween costume searches around Canada were Pennywise, Joker, and Powerpuff Girls.

Of course, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic got a nod, with plague doctor coming in at number four.
