McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets Are Coming Back—Here’s What We Know

While some may say that Halloween is still over a month away, we say it’s never too early to start celebrating the spookiest day of the year. You know who else thinks that way too? Well, McDonald’s, of course! Rumors are being whispered about the brand-new McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets.

McDonald’s, home of the tastiest fast-food fries out there, continues its unique array of Halloween Boo Buckets for 2024. If you can remember what the McDonald’s menu looked like when you were a kid, you might remember when this Happy Meal tradition started in 1986. Since then, Boo Buckets have garnered quite a following with many people, adults and children alike.

They started out as a classic orange jack o’lantern, a green goblin and a white ghost, but they’ve evolved over the years with a multitude of designs. There are four styles currently rumored for this year: a curious blue monster, a joyful green monster, a doe-eyed orange monster and a suspicious white monster. The buckets are bright and eye-catching—perfect for the avid collector!
