McDonald’s bringing back Halloween buckets this October, reports say

September 24, 2022

CHICAGO — Whisperings of the return of the iconic McDonald’s “Boo Buckets” has sent the internet into a frenzy.

Earlier this month, Nightmare Nostalgia was the first to report that the burger giant was bringing back their Halloween Happy Meal pails on Oct. 18. The Halloween buckets first made their appearance in the 1980s.

McDonald’s has not confirmed the rumors and did not respond to a request for comment.

Food blogger Markie Devo on Saturday posted more information about the pails — which if you were around when McDonalds used to have them, you’ll remember that they replace the actual Happy Meal box the food comes in and acts as the toy.

The Halloween buckets will reportedly be returning with three designs: the iconic orange pumpkin, white ghost and green witch. Only one design will will be in-store at one time.

The holiday pop-up sprung up in Chicago’s Fulton Market neighborhood this year and it has everything you need for a fun winter night. 
Pickle and I loved the ice skating rink. Plus, their decor was TOP TIER throughout the entire place.
Thanks for having us @jackfrostpopup!

My fall season hot take is that I think Thanksgivi My fall season hot take is that I think Thanksgiving is THE superior fall holiday. (Ope. Maybe better than Halloween?) 
Feel free to disagree in the comments, but I will not stand for mac & cheese slander. 🦃

Are you ready for Krampus? 👹🎄 @spookycatpres Are you ready for Krampus? 👹🎄
@spookycatpress is! How beautiful are these designs? 
You can’t talk about Creepmas without bringing up the horned holiday devil himself. Krampus, the evil spirit who punishes misbehaving children on Krampusnacht, often makes an appearance on Spooky Instagram. And these are just a few of the items Spooky Cat Press has to get ready for Krampusnacht. 
Which is your favorite? 😍
