M&M’s launches spooky giveaway with free candy for fans this Halloween

Sometimes, the best surprises aren’t the jump scares that lurk in haunted houses or the eerie sounds echoing in the night.

They’re the little moments of relief when something unexpectedly comes to the rescue just when it’s needed most.

Holidays often come with stress, and traditions can only run smoothly if everything falls into place. This year, one beloved brand is making sure that a certain October tradition doesn’t end in disappointment.


M&M’s has announced that its “Halloween Rescue Squad” will return for a third straight year, ensuring nobody is left with an empty candy bowl on October 31.

The company confirmed, “If your candy bowl needs a refill, we’ll deliver free M&M’S straight to your door in under an hour,” with supplies available beginning at 5 p.m. ET on Halloween night.

The promotion, which previously proved popular, will once again help households facing the nightmare of running out of candy.

Emergency deliveries will be available only while supplies last, so quick fingers online will be essential.

The Rescue Squad isn’t the only seasonal treat Mars has planned for fans. This year, M&M’s is also offering limited “Free Treat & Greet Kits” that include candy, a custom Halloween bowl, and even an exclusive M&M’s T-shirt.

“Want to prep for trick or treaters without leaving the house? Sign up for one of our Free Treat & Greet Kits—filled with your favorite candy (M&M’S, of course), a limited-edition candy bowl, and an M&M’S T-shirt,” the company’s site announced, noting the kits will drop October 10 on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The candy brand has also been making headlines outside of Halloween promotions. In September, M&M’s partnered with Crocs for “Croctober,” unveiling two styles of M&M’s-inspired shoes along with collectible Jibbitz charms.

The global launch reached 50 markets, making it one of the brand’s largest collaborations to date. Around the same time, M&M’s introduced a seasonal addition to its candy lineup—Honey.

Roasted Peanut M&M’s, a new flavor combining roasted peanuts, milk chocolate, a drizzle of honey, and the signature candy shell.

Halloween candy is as much about tradition as it is about taste, and M&M’s appears determined to secure its place at the center of the season.

For many, the Rescue Squad may be the difference between disappointing trick-or-treaters and becoming the most popular stop in the neighborhood.

And for those who plan ahead, the October 10 kit drop will be a chance to grab a festive bonus before the spooky season peaks.
