If you're a fan of nostalgia and Halloween fun, I've got some spooktacular news for you! McDonald’s Boo Buckets are back for 2024, and they’re more boo-tiful than ever. Whether you remember these from your childhood or you’re excited to introduce them to your little ones, these classic Halloween Happy Meal buckets are a must-have.
What Are McDonald’s Boo Buckets?
McDonald’s Boo Buckets first made their debut back in 1986 as a fun way to combine the joy of a Happy Meal with a reusable trick-or-treat bucket. Instead of the regular Happy Meal box, these spooky containers came in Halloween-themed designs and colors, perfect for collecting candy (or holding on to as a piece of fast-food history!).
Fast forward to 2024, and McDonald's is bringing them back just in time for Halloween. This year’s collection features three designs that will make you and your kids want to collect them all.
The 2024 Boo Bucket Lineup
This year, McDonald’s is offering three different Boo Bucket designs. Each bucket comes with its own unique character and color to make them even more fun:
McBoo – The classic white ghost is back and spookier than ever.
McPunk’n – Bright orange and shaped like a grinning pumpkin, this one is perfect for your Halloween treats.
McGoblin – The green goblin adds a touch of mischief to your Halloween festivities.
All of these buckets come with a snap-on lid and fun Halloween stickers, so your little trick-or-treater can personalize their bucket however they like!
How to Get Your Hands on a Boo Bucket
Starting October 15 2024, you can grab one of these collectible Boo Buckets with every Happy Meal purchase at participating McDonald's locations. The Boo Buckets are limited-edition, so they’re only available while supplies last – meaning you might want to head over sooner rather than later!
Why We Love the Boo Buckets
There’s something so nostalgic about these Halloween buckets that brings back the excitement of trick-or-treating. They’re more than just a container for your Happy Meal – they’re part of a beloved Halloween tradition. Plus, they’re practical! After Halloween, you can reuse them for storage, as a lunchbox, or even as festive decorations.
For all you thrifty parents out there (yes, I see you!), the Boo Buckets are a fun and affordable way to add a little extra Halloween cheer without breaking the bank. And if you’re into couponing (like me!), be sure to check the McDonald’s app for any deals or promotions that could sweeten the deal.
