McDonald's Boo Buckets are back with a new lineup: When you can get yours?

(NEXSTAR) — From the Snack Wrap to Monopoly, McDonald’s has already brought back a slew of fan-favorites this year. One more such offering is also gearing up for a return.

McDonald’s announced Wednesday that, once again, its Happy Meal Boo Buckets will be available this year. The pails will officially return on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

The Halloween Happy Meal pails, which first debuted in 1986, have periodically returned to McDonald’s in the decades since, often with updated artwork or new shapes, and sometimes even themed after characters from “Scooby Doo” or “Monsters High.”

They’ve been available in recent years as well, with 2022 bringing a throwback to the trio of white, orange and green buckets — once nicknamed McBoo, McPunk’n and McGoblin — first offered in the late ‘80s.

White, orange, and green are back this year — under the names Ghost, Pumpkin, and Goblin — in addition to a black and a red option, named Cat and Zombie.

In 2023, options included orange, white, purple and green — Skeleton, Mummy, Vampire, and Monster — while last year’s lineup was white, orange, green, and blue, all sporting monster designs.

You’ll want to get yours quickly, however. McDonald’s said the Halloween buckets will only be available while supplies last.
