You know who else thinks that way too? Well, McDonald's, of course! Rumors are being whispered about the brand-new McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets.\r\n\r\nMcDonald's, home of the tastiest fast-food fries<\/a> out there, continues its unique array of Halloween Boo Buckets for 2024. If you can remember what the McDonald's menu looked like<\/a> when you were a kid, you might remember when this Happy Meal tradition started in 1986. Since then, Boo Buckets have garnered quite a following with many people, adults and children alike.\r\n\r\nThey started out as a classic orange jack o'lantern, a green goblin and a white ghost, but they've evolved over the years with a multitude of designs. There are four styles this year: a curious blue monster, a joyful green monster, a doe-eyed orange monster and a suspicious white monster. The buckets are bright and eye-catching\u2014perfect for the avid collector!\r\n

Everything We Know About the McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets<\/h2>\r\n

When is McDonald's bringing back the Boo Buckets?<\/h3>\r\nMcDonald's has confirmed a release date: October 15. They're perfect for a Halloween-lovin' kiddo who needs a new bucket for trick-or-treating (or an adult who loves reliving their childhood). I would just ask for mine to be filled to the brim with all my favorite McDonald's sauces<\/a>!\r\n

Do all McDonald's have the Boo Buckets?<\/h3>\r\nAs usual, participating McDonald's restaurants will have the Boo Buckets available for the holiday season. Make sure to check with your regular location as they are released.\r\n

How long will McDonald's have the Boo Buckets available?<\/h3>\r\nIn the past, McDonald's locations have sold their Boo Buckets for around two weeks and stop on October 31. However, it also depends on how long supplies last. The earlier you start searching, the more likely you are to collect all four. No waiting around! It's time to treat yourself this Halloween with a Boo Bucket and your favorite Mickey D's bestsellers<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
