McDonald's Halloween Buckets Are Making an Earlier Return This Year

If you remember the nostalgic McDonald's Halloween pails from the 1980s, you're in for a treat! After a six-year break, these beloved buckets made a comeback last year, and now they're set to return even earlier this spooky season. This year, McDonald's will launch the Halloween buckets on October 15, a few days ahead of last year’s October 17 release.

These seasonal pails serve as both Halloween décor and trick-or-treat buckets, coming in four vibrant colors: white, orange, green, and a new blue bucket that replaces last year's purple one. While last year's designs featured specific spooky characters like skeletons and vampires, this year's buckets boast more generic monster themes and include stickers for customization—perfect for kids (and adults) to express their creativity.

The Boo Buckets will be available with any Happy Meal purchase at participating McDonald's locations while supplies last, with prices varying by location. Get ready to celebrate Halloween with these fun and festive pails!
