The Dunkin' Halloween menu drops every year in mid-October, and along with the seasonal menu comes a seasonal bucket. The Dunkin' Halloween Munchkin Bucket is set to join the Dunkin' Fall menu on Oct. 15, but many stores already have these buckets, and some are already selling them.

We called several locations and found that you can buy the Halloween Munchkin Bucket for $2 - $5 depending on your area. Per our source, the store owners set the price and can decide whether or not they'll sell an empty bucket or only filled buckets. If you can't get your hands on an empty bucket, the 50-count Munchkin Buckets are around $15.99.

We predict that along with the return of Dunkin' Halloween Buckets, you'll see a new drink and another version of their spider donut.

What KCL Experts Say You Should Know

  • The Dunkin' Halloween Buckets officially return on Oct. 15, 2025, along with the new Halloween menu.

  • Store managers set the price for the buckets, and prices vary from $2 - $5 depending on location.

  • Some stores won't sell empty buckets, and you'll pay around $15.99 for a 50-count Munchkin Bucket.

  • The buckets will likely sell out fast, but the Halloween menu 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. The Halloween Buckets have a slightly higher price tag — $15.99, or $0.32 per Munchkin. The nostalgia factor alone is worth the extra $2 to some, and the buckets can be used as trick-or-treat baskets.

You may be able to get an unfilled Halloween Bucket for less.

Don't want to pay $15.99? Some stores may sell unfilled Halloween Buckets for $2 - $5, depending on location. But keep in mind that some stores won't sell the empty buckets, so if you want one, you'll have to pay the $15.99 for a 50-count Munchkin Bucket.

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 items — like the McDonald's Boo Buckets — you'll want to line up early to get your hands on one.
