Applebee's is introducing Halloween chicken wing buckets designed to make seasonal gatherings more affordable and convenient. The new Hallowings Bucket offers 20 boneless wings for $12.99, giving customers a shareable meal option available exclusively through the restaurant's website and mobile app for takeout or delivery.
Available from October 25 through October 31, 2026, the promotion allows customers to customize their order with sauces such as Honey BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Classic Buffalo, and Hot Honey Glaze. Each bucket also includes a choice of Bleu cheese or buttermilk ranch dressing. Applebee's is complementing the promotion with its seasonal Spooky Sips beverage selection.
For Applebee's, the limited-time offering encourages customers to order directly through its digital channels while increasing interest during Halloween celebrations. The accessible pricing and customizable flavors also help position its existing menu items as convenient options for group occasions.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Seasonal Shareable Meals
- Limited-time bundles tied to holidays create fresh demand for familiar menu items by reframing them as convenient group celebration solutions.
- App-exclusive Dining Deals
- Digital-only promotions strengthen direct customer relationships while reducing reliance on third-party platforms and encouraging owned-channel ordering behavior.
- Customizable Party Food
- Flexible sauce, dip, and flavor options make mass-market meal bundles feel more personalized for households, parties, and casual social gatherings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Casual Dining
- Seasonal value offers give restaurant chains a way to boost traffic during cultural moments without requiring major menu development.
- Food Delivery
- Holiday-themed takeout packages expand the role of delivery from everyday convenience into planned entertainment and group hosting occasions.
- Mobile Ordering
- Exclusive in-app and website offers turn promotional food launches into data-rich engagement tools for restaurants seeking stronger customer retention.
