Ok, y’all, it’s October 1st, and that means it is OFFICIALLY, officially Halloween season.

We’ve been gearing up for spooky season all of September. We visited Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on opening night, ate TONS of Halloween treats, and did lots of Halloween shopping. But we have at least one more Halloween to-do on our list — get a BOO BUCKET from McDonald’s!

Each year, we get anxious waiting to find out when McDonald’s will release its annual boo buckets. These buckets are adorable and multi-purpose. If you’re not familiar with boo buckets, they are the Halloween-themed buckets that McDonald’s Happy Meals come in throughout the month of October.

Now, McDonald’s has officially announced when we can run to our nearest restaurant to get ours. Boo buckets will return to Happy Meals on October 15th!

This year’s design is a little different than past years, but the monsters sure are adorable! We can’t wait to get our hands on them. Boo buckets are great for using as Halloween trick-or-treating pails for your kids, or if you’re looking for a more creative way to repurpose your bucket, you can always use it as a cute planter. We used one of our old boo buckets, poked some holes in the bottom, and planted a cute plant in the bucket!

It’s fun to grab fun items like these boo buckets as part of a Happy Meal for the kiddos (or a small meal for yourself), then reuse the items for other neat projects!

So starting on October 15th, be sure to head to your local McDonald’s and grab one of these new boo buckets!
