The 2025 McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets Are Back, With Spooky New Faces! McDonald’s is bringing back its beloved Boo Buckets for the 2025 spooky season, and this year’s lineup is a perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh fright. Since their original debut in the 1980s, Boo Buckets have become a Halloween tradition, combining the fun of trick-or-treating with the magic of McDonald’s Happy Meals.
2025 McDonald’s Halloween Classic Boo Buckets Return
The 2025 McDonald’s Halloween Boo Bucket collection features some returning fan favorites:
- Goblin (Green): A mischievous face with bold bat-like eyes and a spooky grin. I would call this the witch, personally.
- Ghost (White): Sweet and startled, the Ghost bucket’s expression is pure Halloween charm.
- Pumpkin (Orange): The timeless jack-o’-lantern face that started it all a must-have for every collector.
Each of these designs brings back that unmistakable retro McDonald’s feel that kids of the ‘80s and ‘90s still love today.
New 2025 Designs: Zombie and Cat!
This year, two brand-new Boo Buckets have crawled out of the crypt:
- Zombie (Red): Featuring a stitched-up, scary-cute face with three variations on one bucket, the Zombie adds a frightful flair to your collection.
- Cat (Black): Sleek, spooky, and adorable! This new design also comes with three expressive feline faces, each showing a different Halloween mood.
These new additions give collectors even more to get excited about, while the updated designs keep the lineup feeling fresh and fun. There are five buckets in total, each with three faces printed on the sides.
Why Fans Love Boo Buckets
Each Boo Bucket comes complete with the classic McDonald’s golden-arch handle lid, making it perfect for trick-or-treating, candy storage, or seasonal decor.

Whether you’re a lifelong McDonald’s fan or a parent introducing your kids to this retro tradition, the 2025 Boo Buckets are the ultimate collectible to celebrate the season.
