WASHINGTON — McDonald's iconic Boo Buckets are officially back, with this year's lineup including two brand-new characters joining the original Halloween crew.

The fast-food chain has brought back the classic Ghost, Pumpkin and Goblin buckets that made their triumphant comeback in 2022 after vanishing for several years. This year, Cat and Zombie are joining the party, giving collectors five creepy-cute designs to hunt down.

The limited-edition buckets feature different spooky expressions and come with Halloween-themed stickers so fans can customize their pails.

The Boo Buckets are available with Happy Meals starting Tuesday, Oct. 21, while supplies last, at participating McDonald's locations nationwide.
