Jack in the Box has implemented various seasonal promotions involving themed menu items and merchandise. Following a shortage of collectible glow-in-the-dark cups from a ‘Treehouse of Horror’ collaboration with The Simpsons, the company offered customers free tacos as compensation for missing items.

Building on seasonal marketing, the company announced further Halloween-themed offers. These include a promotion where guests dressed as the company mascot can receive a free Monster Taco and a small drink, alongside the ‘Munchie Meal of Horror’ featuring themed burgers and exclusive packaging.
