McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets Return for 2024

McDonalds is once again bringing back its beloved Halloween Boo Buckets, a tradition that has been delighting both children and adults since 1986. These iconic buckets, which serve as the 'toy' in McDonalds Happy Meals during the Halloween season, are set to return in mid-October.

Release Date and Availability

The Halloween Boo Buckets are expected to be available starting October 15, 2024. As with previous years, they will be included with the purchase of a Happy Meal at participating McDonalds restaurants. It is advisable to check with your local McDonalds to confirm availability, as supplies are typically limited and can sell out quickly.

Designs for 2024

This years Boo Buckets will feature four different monster designs: a curious blue monster, a joyful green monster, a doe-eyed orange monster, and a suspicious white monster. These bright and eye-catching designs are perfect for both trick-or-treating and collecting.

Pricing and Additional Details

The Halloween Boo Buckets will be included in the regular cost of a Happy Meal, which ranges from $5 to $7 depending on the location and type of meal. There will be no extra charge for the buckets. Additionally, customers can use their McDonalds Rewards app to earn points; redeeming 6,000 points can get you a free Happy Meal, which includes the Halloween bucket.

Unlike some previous years, the 2024 Halloween buckets are not expected to come with an additional toy. However, they will include a cardboard lid with stickers for decoration, a continuation from the previous years design.

Collecting and Alternatives

For those who miss out on the McDonalds Boo Buckets or prefer a more affordable option, similar buckets can be found at stores like Five Below and Walmart for as little as $1. This offers an alternative for those who want to capture the Halloween spirit without the full cost of a Happy Meal.
