McDonald’s Brings Back Boo Buckets With Two New Ghoulie Friends
Mark your calendars, McDonald’s Boo Buckets are on the way. We’ve already seen holiday offerings from Burger King and Wendy’s while waiting for our Halloween Happy Meal offerings for 2025. McDonald’s officially shared the news in a release with a bit of a jab at competitors.
“Halloween buckets are popping up everywhere like ghosts in the night– and hey, imitation is the most BOO-tiful form of flattery. But let’s be real: there’s only one OG Halloween bucket, and it comes with a Happy Meal,” they wrote.
This year, the McDonald’s Boo Buckets feature the standard Ghost, Pumpkin, and Goblin. They’ve also added a Cat and a Zombie to the Halloween fun.

McDonald’s Boo Buckets Have Been Around For Almost 40 Years
McDonald’s first launched Boo Buckets in 1986, and they’ve had a cult following for decades. They discontinued the containers in 2016 but brought them back in 2022, much to the delight of fans.
Snackolator shared some images of the new Happy Meals on Instagram, and they are pretty darn cute.
“It’s almost Boo Buckets season at McDonald’s and here’s a look at all FIFTEEN designs this year,” he wrote.
McDonald’s customers had mixed reactions to the Halloween Happy Meals.
Some felt like they would come out too late in the season.
“Why so late this year? Dang well Halloween will be over,” someone wrote.
Others thought these Boo Buckets looked great.
“I’m so glad they brought back this art style. It’s simple, cute, & nostalgic of the originals. Last year when they did the monsters, it just felt off. I love the design of these,” someone shared.
“I wonder if the Halloween coupon book is coming back,” another person asked.
According to McDonald’s, the Boo Buckets will be available starting October 21, while supplies last.
