McBoo! The much-loved Halloween buckets from McDonald’s are making a spooky return, and here’s how you can grab one this season. The fast food giant took to Instagram on October 1 to unveil the latest edition of its iconic Monster Boo buckets, just in time for Halloween. “Happy spooky szn to all who celebrate. Boo buckets r back,” the company announced in the caption. These festive buckets will be available at select McDonald’s restaurants in the US starting from Tuesday, October 15.
The Monster Boo buckets come in four different colours – blue, orange, green, and white, with each featuring a unique, friendly monster face. Each bucket also includes a yellow handle, adorned with McDonald’s signature yellow “M” logo. As a temporary replacement for the classic red Happy Meal box, these buckets will be available while stocks last. The primary way to get your hands on one of these buckets is by ordering a Happy Meal, which typically includes a main item, a side, a beverage, and a toy.
Customers will have the opportunity to personalise their buckets as each purchase comes with custom stickers, allowing them to decorate their buckets however they wish. Fans expressed their excitement on social media as McDonald’s shared the news of the return of the iconic boo buckets. The distinct monster designs are different from last year’s offerings, adding a fresh twist to this year’s Halloween promotion. The buzz around the return of the boo buckets continues to grow as fans eagerly anticipate their availability.
McDonald’s has a tradition of offering Halloween buckets, with a slight variation in design every year. Last year’s buckets came in white, green, orange, and purple colours, featuring a monster, skeleton, mummy, and vampire design with lids. Originating in 1986, the Monster Boo Buckets have made sporadic appearances over the years before officially returning in 2016. Following a hiatus, McDonald’s reintroduced the festive pails in 2022, marking this year as the third consecutive year of the popular Boo Buckets making a comeback.
In a similar vein, McDonald’s recently launched a nostalgic cup showcasing collectible toys from various eras. The cup features beloved items like the Grimace Mug from 1976, a Pet Lovin’ Barbie from 1999, and a Shrek toy from 2007. McDonald’s continues to delight fans with these iconic keepsakes, creating excitement and anticipation among customers worldwide.
The return of the Monster Boo buckets is set to add a dash of Halloween magic to McDonald’s offerings this season. As fans eagerly await the official release date, the festive spirit is already in the air with these iconic Halloween buckets making a hauntingly delightful return.
