Trick-or-treating, what a blast for any kid. Going out in the darkness of autumn to collect free candy all dressed up! One could take a pillowcase around the neighborhood to haul away to home those precious sweets, but McDonald’s is once again providing an alternative.

The famous fast food restaurant chain has brought back its annual Happy Meal promotional gear for youngsters to lug around the plentiful bounty. The tradition started in 1986 but then disappeared until last year. Halloween Boo Buckets are back again this year.

“Let’s be honest... spooky szn isn’t official until Boo Buckets are back at McDonald’s.”
