For Halloween 2024, Wendy's introduced a limited-edition Boo! Bag meal featuring a Dave's Single, small Hot & Crispy Fry, a small Frosty, a collectible glow-in-the-dark Bone Chiller Frosty figure and a Boo! Books coupon book—which features coupons for five free Jr. Frosty treats, and a sixth bonus coupon for redeeming a $1.99 Wendy's kids' meal with any purchase. What's more, every Boo! Books coupon book sold in a Boo! Bag helps to support the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Alternatively, Boo! Books can be purchased separately via Wendy's mobile app and self-order kiosks.
This all-ages meal bundle with a special figure for spooky season is available in limited quantities and speaks to parents looking for value-packed, kid-pleasing meals, as well as kidults who love building out their collection of collectibles.
