The Dunkin' Halloween menu drops every year in mid-October. You'll typically find seasonal donuts, drinks, and some new treats. In 2024, they also surprised us with Dunkin' Halloween buckets filled with 50 Munchkins.
The 50-count Munchkin buckets weren't exactly new to the Dunkin' Fall menu, but the collectible plastic buckets were a newer addition to the Halloween lineup. I hadn't seen Dunkin' offer buckets since the '90s when they had a glow-in-the-dark version (which you can find now on resale sites for around $10).
In 2025, we predict that along with the return of Dunkin' Halloween buckets, you'll see a new drink and another version of their spider donut.

We predict the Dunkin' Halloween Buckets will return on Oct. 15, 2025 (with the new Halloween menu).
These buckets landed at Dunkin' at the same time as their Halloween menu — so we predict an Oct 15, 2025, date for the next drop. The buckets will likely sell out fast, but the drinks will stick around through the end of the month.
You'll pay a little extra for the Dunkin' Halloween buckets — they're $15.99.
A 50-count Munchkin bucket regularly costs $13.99, or $0.28 per Munchkin. Just as I predicted, the Halloween buckets had a higher price tag — $15.99, or $0.32 per Munchkin. You could buy an empty bucket for just $2. The nostalgia factor alone is worth the extra $2 to some, and for others, the buckets can be used as trick-or-treat baskets.
Each store may only have 100 buckets — so get yours early.
In 2024, each Dunkin' store had around 100 buckets and once they were gone, they were gone. Considering the popularity of other fast food collector meals — like the Collector Cup Value Meal at McDonald's — in 2025, you'll want to line up early to get your hands on one of these buckets.
