Remember the nostalgic McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal pails that first started in the 1980s? Well they’re coming back!
McDonald’s Halloween Buckets
Woohoo! The popular and nostalgic McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal Buckets are rumored to be shaped like pumpkins this year and to be available starting October 21st!
These are always so popular every year and so nostalgic! These are such a fun trip down memory lane – but I’m sure they’ll go fast like they did last year!
There are a few new designs this year – four in all to look forward to. Most times it is completely random what stores will have available, and they’re likely to go quick.
McDonald’s Boo Buckets
A little history behind these buckets…
The Happy Meal Halloween Pails were first released in 1986 and featured all orange pumpkin-shaped buckets with different faces. Then in 1989, the buckets changed to an orange jack-o-lantern, green witch, and white ghost (like pictured above). Then in 1990, the buckets added some glow-in-the-dark flair to the designs, and the pails continued to change over the years until they stopped releasing them in 2016. 🙁
Let us know if you’re able to snag one – and remember that Dunkin will have a munchkin bucket starting October 15 per the rumor, too!
So, do they have lids at all?
Hi Anita! I haven’t gotten one yet but if they’re bringing back the same buckets then they should have the lids on them. Let us know if you get one!:)
I hate they don’t have the lids like the originals. They were perfect for storing things like crayons.
That is so true i’m sorry. Hopefully you can find something else that works instead!
