Halloween is a holiday where candy sales skyrocket and the best sweet deals are often found after the holiday is over.
However, several fast-food restaurants have launched major deals ahead of the holiday, with savings available everywhere from Auntie Anne’s to Moe’s Southwest Grill and KFC.
Why It Matters
Fast-food restaurants offer seasonal promotional deals tied to holidays to boost sales in the short term. These types of deals coincide with larger menu updates and fall or winter themed flavors, like SONIC’s Peppermint Brownie Bark Shake that was released last week.

McAlister's Rewards Members can also receive two times the points on any purchase from October 27 to November 2 at participating locations.
KFC
Fried chicken lovers are in luck too, as KFC is serving its "13 Days of Scary Good Deals."
These daily offers will be available from October 19 to October 31 on the KFC app and website. Some of the offerings include a Free Classic Chicken Sandwich with a $10 purchase as well as 50 percent off a 12-piece chicken-only bucket.
What People Are Saying
Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, previously told Newsweek: “Holiday-themed items and giveaways are attracting a great amount of attention from retailers hoping to see more foot traffic during the fall season. New menu items and giveaways are a way of generating interest and sales, especially for many cash-strapped customers who have avoided dining out in recent months.”
What Happens Next?
Most of the deals are only available for a limited time, so enjoy them while the Halloween season is underway.
