Remember when Barack Obama totally lost it over the baby dressed as the Pope on Halloween?

Halloween is swiftly approaching - and if you're already stressed about trying to master the perfect costume that's both pop-culture savvy and attractive enough that Regina George wouldn't mock you, we have a historic holiday moment that's so pure you'll remember what the day is all about.

Remember when President Obama totally lost it over a tiny Pope trick or treating at the White House? There's nothing the former Commander-in-Chief loves more than meeting a baby - except, perhaps, meeting a baby in Halloween costume.

Obama was tickled when he saw the small religious figure roll up on the White House lawn. If you've somehow forgotten, watch above - Baby Pope appears 33 seconds in.

Of course, for reference, it probably helps that Obama has also met with the actual Pope.

The former president got very into Halloween year after year, whether he was greeting a small Prince (the musical icon, not Meghan Markle's husband) or meeting Superman.

Happy trick or treating in 2020 to everyone, but especially to Obama and Baby Pope.
