Oscar's Handmade Halloween is a Sesame Street Halloween special that premiered on Max on October 5, 2023, and aired on the Discovery Family channel, following Cookie Monster's Bake Sale, on October 22. The special stars Oscar the Grouch and Food Network's Sunny Anderson as they, along with child helpers, turn refuse into costumes for shelter dogs for a Halloween parade.
Elmo and Tango appear to make a garbage truck float for the parade. Abby Cadabby and the Two-Headed Monster make minor appearances at the shelter during the parade.
