McDonald’s Disney Villains Boo Bucket promotion
Overview
Reports initially suggested that McDonald’s would launch a Disney Villains themed Boo Bucket Happy Meal promotion for the October 2026 Halloween season. The collection was expected to feature five color-coded buckets representing Maleficent, Jafar, Scar, Cruella de Vil, and Ursula, each including character-specific stickers.
McDonald’s subsequently confirmed the relaunch of the Boo Buckets starting October 20, noting the collaboration with Disney marks the 40th anniversary of the promotion. The limited-edition set includes villain-inspired lids and character stickers. While the promotion is available at participating locations while supplies last, some customers on social media expressed disappointment, noting a preference for the original Boo Bucket designs featuring classic motifs such as witches, ghosts, and pumpkins.
