<\/p>\nMcDonald’s popular Boo Buckets are making their annual return, but this time with two new faces. <\/p>\n
The world’s largest hamburger chain, based in Chicago, announced the Happy Meal Boo Buckets will make their highly anticipated,” haunting” return on Oct. 21. <\/p>\n
“Just in time for spooky szn,” the company wrote in a release.<\/p>\n
This year’s lineup will feature the classic faces of a ghost, pumpkin and goblin, but two new additions – Cat and Zombie – will also join the crew. <\/p>\n
The buckets will only be available while supplies last. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The chain acknowledged copycat buckets being released around this time of year, saying “imitation is the most BOO-tiful form of flattery,” but noting “there’s only one OG Halloween bucket.”<\/p>\n
First introduced in 1986, the trick-or-treat pails, known as “Boo Buckets,” were a Happy Meal staple of the spooky season for several years before they\u00a0“vanished for a while.”<\/a>\u00a0Following a prolonged absence, three iconic,\u00a0throwback buckets<\/a>\u00a0returned for 2022. They also returned in 2023<\/a>, with the same vintage designs — Monster, Skeleton, Mummy — plus a purple Vampire bucket, a nod to the “OG purple Boo Bucket.”<\/p>\n The Boo Buckets are the latest blast of nostalgia being released by the fast food chain. <\/p>\n On Sept. 29,\u00a0McDonald\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0announced its Monopoly game is returning<\/a> to the U.S. after a 10-year hiatus. Starting Oct. 6 for a limited time, customers across the country can rediscover the \u201cthrill of the peel\u201d with new digital game pieces in addition to the classic ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McDonald’s popular Boo Buckets are making their annual return, but this time with two new faces.
