McDonald’s is bringing back its popular Halloween Boo Buckets in 2026 with a Disney Villains theme, giving fans a new collection of spooky Happy Meal containers featuring some of Disney’s most recognizable animated villains.
The limited-edition collection includes five colorful buckets inspired by Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Scar from The Lion King, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent.
According to McDonald’s, each Boo Bucket will feature a villain-inspired lid and stickers. The collectible containers will be offered in place of the usual Happy Meal boxes for a limited time at participating restaurants.
The Disney Villains Boo Buckets are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Availability may vary by location, and the collection is expected to be available only while supplies last.
