We like our Happy Meals with a side of cute ghosts, goblins and ghoulies.
You could say it’s always Halloween at McDonald’s considering its fries are so good, it’s scary. The spooky season is quickly upon us, and while the weather starts to chill and the plants begin to whither, our appetites sure don’t. I can’t think of a single time of year when I’m not craving a Big Mac meal for a quick recharge. That being said, Halloween season makes it a whole lot cuter with the McDonald’s Boo Buckets, a Golden Arches staple since back in ’86. They’re a certified Happy Meal icon. This year, the chain is bringing back some familiar faces and a few new friends.
When are McDonald’s Boo Buckets coming back?

Starting October 21, you can grab your very own Boo Bucket with the purchase of a Happy Meal. I remember begging my mom to stop at McDonald’s after practices during fall so I could up my bucket count. I’d grown quite the collection as a kid, and it wasn’t just for looks. We’d use them to go trick-or-treating, so it was a total win-win for me.
This year, you can expect our ghost, pumpkin and goblin friends to make a comeback. And it seems McDonald’s decided three wasn’t enough, so two new faces will join the collection: a Halloween cat and a zombie companion. And no, don’t worry, I don’t think the zombie is hungry for your McNuggets (at least I don’t think so). These buckets also come with themed stickers so you can spookify your pails with your unique style.
How long will the McDonald’s Boo Buckets be available?
Like all great things, they don’t last forever. Boo Buckets will be available at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide on October 21 while supplies last. Having five Boo Buckets to collect just means you get to partake in a little scavenger hunt that also comes with your favorite fast-food treat!
