McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets return for 2024: Here's how to get one

Halloween is officially coming to McDonald's: Boo Buckets are coming back.

A customer favorite, Monster Boo Buckets come with Happy Meals and can be used for trick-or-treating. The fast food giant will offer Boo Buckets for a limited time starting October 15th. This year the buckets come in a new color, blue, replacing last year's purple color.

Each bucket also comes with stickers so kids can customize the look. This is the third consecutive season for the seasonal offer. As a nostalgic nod, McDonald's brought back Boo Buckets in 2022 for the first time since 2016. McDonald's first sold the decorated plastic buckets in 1986 and has only brought them back sporadically since then.

What colors will McDonald's Boo Buckets come in this year?

McDonald's is changing its color scheme for this year's Boo Buckets. As in 2023, there will be white, orange and green buckets. But this year blue buckets will replace last year's purple buckets.

Last year's Boo Buckets also resembled classic monsters like Monster, Skeleton, Mummy, and Vampire. This year's models are more amorphous and give children the opportunity to customize them however they want with the included stickers.
