More Halloween treats and deals are heading your way this season, and Burger King is joining in with exciting offerings! But first, let's talk about one of the most iconic must-have Halloween accessories: a trick-or-treat bucket!

Do you remember McDonald’s famous Boo Buckets? These nostalgic buckets, perfect for holding all your candies and chocolates from trick-or-treating, debuted in 1986 as part of the McDonald’s Happy Meal under the name "Halloween Pails." The original lineup featured orange buckets with characters like McPunk’n (Jack-o-Lantern), McBoo (Ghost), and McGoblin (Goblin), and even came with a Halloween Pumpkin Happy Meal.

Now, the Boo Buckets are back! Starting October 15, 2024, McDonald’s will be reintroducing these beloved pails in a range of colors: white, orange, green, and blue. Each comes with stickers, allowing you to decorate your bucket however you like, while the handle features the iconic Golden Arches. Order a Happy Meal in-store, online, or through the McDonald's app to get your hands on one. Happy Meal entrée options include a hamburger (with or without cheese) or 4 or 6 pieces of Chicken McNuggets. Don’t miss out on these spooky cool Boo Buckets dropping this October!
