McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets return for 2024: Here's how to get one

You know Halloween is near when McDonald's brings back its Boo Buckets for the holiday. The customizable plastic buckets replace the Happy Meal box for a few weeks each fall.

Halloween has officially arrived at McDonald's: Boo Buckets are coming back.

A customer favorite, Monster Boo Buckets come with Happy Meals and can be used for trick-or-treating. The fast food giant will offer Boo Buckets for a limited time starting October 15th. This year the buckets come in a new color: blue, which replaces last year's purple color.

Each bucket also comes with stickers so kids can customize the look. This is the third consecutive season for the seasonal offer. As a nostalgic nod, McDonald's brought back Boo Buckets in 2022 for the first time since 2016. McDonald's first sold the decorated plastic buckets in 1986 and has only brought them back sporadically since then.
