Although the Halloween event in 2021 is more of the same, returning players will be treated (or tricked?) to a new face paint when refusing to give Candy to villagers!
However, it doesn't look like you can save it your Custom Designs. Once you take it off, you'll have to replay the event to get it back!

When the skies turn a deep purple (at 5:00 PM), you can find Jack, the czar of Halloween, strolling around the plaza!
He'll give you a rundown of what you can do and a free Reaction for Halloween night!
You can give Jack some Candy in exchange for Spooky furniture, clothes, DIY Recipes, and Pumpkins!
You can also give him some Lollipops for better rewards, like the Spooky Wand DIY Recipe!
Best Way to Get Halloween Lollipop
As you go around the island, Villagers will try to catch your attention! You can exchange candy for Spooky items, another Reaction, or Pumpkins!
Ran out of treats? Never fear! Knock on your villagers staying inside their homes, and they'll give you candy!
List of All Halloween Items & DIY Recipes
If you don't give them your Candy to a Villager, they can hex you and change your skin tone and eye color!
However, these effects are only temporary, and you can change back into your regular appearance with any Mirror or Vanity!
Make sure that the date and time on your Switch matches the date and time of the event.
Also, Halloween is a time-locked event, so you cannot access the event before October 31, 2021 in real time.
How to Change the Date and Time
You'll need the latest version of the game to play the event! Press the + Button on the Main Menu to check for Software Updates.

Regarding to the amount of candy you can buy, you can actually go to another island to buy candy! But the rules do apply when going to buy candy. 1 per customer. So you pretty much have to travel to different islands if you want to have a stash before hand. So if i want to get 5 candys in one day, i have to go to 5 different islands to get that amount in one day. But you can always wait till the actual day to get candy.
