McDonald’s has announced the return of its popular Halloween Boo Buckets, a fan-favorite that first hit stores almost 40 years ago in 1986. Starting on Oct. 15, the colorful buckets will once again be available with Happy Meals at participating locations across the U.S. for a limited time.
After a six-year hiatus, McDonald’s revived the Boo Buckets in 2022, and they are set to make a comeback this Halloween season. This year, the fast-food giant will offer four bucket designs, which will be available while supplies last, up until Halloween. Each bucket also includes a set of stickers.
When Are Boo Buckets Available?
The Halloween-themed Boo Buckets will be available starting Oct. 15 at participating McDonald’s restaurants for a limited time.
How to Get a Boo Bucket
To snag one of these nostalgic items, customers can order a Hamburger Happy Meal, a four-piece Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal, or a six-piece Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal. Each meal comes with a side of fries or apple slices and a drink. You can order the meals in-store or through the McDonald’s app. Pricing may vary depending on the location.
