A trunk or treat is when people get together and round their cars up in a parking lot or something and decorate the trunks all Halloween-y. Then the kids can go car to car getting candy.

It's just a fun alternative (or supplement) to kids going door to door trick-or-treating.

A safer one as well.

A lot of parents do it because they don't want their kid run over by cars, or just feel uncomfortable with the prospect of knocking on the doors of complete strangers. Some also do trick-or-treat as well. It's been a thing since at least before 2020 but soared in popularity over the course of the pandemic for obvious reasons.
