Home Depot’s Halloween bucket has a Christmas version for the first time: a white 2-gallon bucket printed with a Christmas tree and fireplace on one side and Santa’s sleigh over a Home Depot store on the other. It went on sale online on October 1 for $2.98 and reaches stores in mid-October.
The Design
The bucket is white with a metal handle, and the print is black line art with orange accents. One side shows a Christmas tree with orange ornaments next to a brick fireplace with a wreath, two stockings, and a banner that reads “2026.” The other side shows Santa’s sleigh and three reindeer flying over a snow-covered store with a sign that reads “HOME DEPOT 2026.”
Home Depot’s listing suggests using it for gift baskets, candy, party favors, and holiday crafts. One of its product photos shows the bucket holding ice melt on a snowy driveway.
Where to Buy the Home Depot Christmas Bucket
Home Depot lists it as the 2 Gal. White Holiday Bucket, the same size and price as the orange Halloween bucket that sold online for the first time in August.
- Online, now. The bucket is on homedepot.com as model PN0287. On the morning of October 1, the page offered free delivery the next day to a Santa Clarita, California, ZIP code and showed 1,821 available.
