Halloween is not only about dressing up, watching scary films or looking for sweet treats. For food lovers, it can also be a good excuse to try something a little different. This October, myNEWS Malaysia is giving its customers another reason to stop by their nearest outlet with the launch of their Spooktober Menu, a limited-time collection of Halloween-inspired food and treats available nationwide.
Running from 1 to 31 October 2026, the promotion brings together a selection of new menu items designed around the spooky season. From a savoury chicken burger with a striking charcoal bun to soft bakery treats and a rich-looking cookie, the Spooktober range gives customers something new to discover during their next visit to myNEWS.
Even better, myNEWS members can collect an extra 50 points on all the new Spooktober items, making the promotion more interesting for regular customers who already use the myNEWS membership programme.
The campaign is available at myNEWS outlets nationwide, although customers should keep in mind that the promotional items are available while stocks last. So, if one of these Halloween-themed treats catches your attention, it may be worth visiting earlier rather than leaving it until the final few days of October.
Meet the Spooktober Menu
The highlight of the promotion is the Charcoal Bun Chicken Burger with Special Sauce. The charcoal-coloured bun gives the burger a distinctive Halloween appearance, while the chicken filling makes it a more substantial choice if you are looking for something savoury.
The addition of special sauce also gives this burger its own character. For customers who enjoy trying limited-time menu items, this is perhaps one of the more interesting choices from the Spooktober selection. It is the kind of seasonal food that can make an ordinary quick meal feel a little more fun.
For those who prefer something softer and more bakery-style, the Pumpkin Soft Roll is another option from the seasonal menu. Pumpkin is a natural fit for October, and the soft roll offers a different experience from the savoury burger.
It could be a convenient choice for a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack or something to pick up while travelling. Rather than looking for a full meal, customers who simply want to sample the Halloween menu can choose a bakery item and enjoy it on the go.
Then there is the Blackout Cookie, which is aimed at customers with a sweet tooth. With its dark appearance fitting perfectly into the Halloween theme, the cookie is another simple way to join in with the seasonal promotion without having to commit to a larger meal.
Having several different types of items in the Spooktober Menu means customers can choose according to their mood. Fancy something savoury? Try the chicken burger. Prefer a bakery snack? The pumpkin soft roll could be the one to look for. Want something sweet? The Blackout Cookie completes the selection.
Extra 50 Points for myNEWS Members
One of the more useful parts of this promotion is the additional reward for myNEWS members.
According to the promotional announcement, members can earn an extra 50 points on all the new Spooktober items. For regular myNEWS customers, this adds another reason to consider trying the seasonal range.
If you are already buying something from myNEWS during October, choosing one of the new Halloween items could give you an opportunity to collect additional points at the same time. It is a small extra benefit, but loyalty rewards can become more useful when they are accumulated through purchases you would already make.
This also makes the promotion worth considering for customers who frequently visit myNEWS for quick meals, snacks, drinks or bakery products. Instead of simply buying the usual favourites, October provides an opportunity to switch things up and try something that is only around for a limited period.
Why Should You Visit myNEWS for This Deal?
The biggest attraction of the Spooktober promotion is its limited-time nature. These are seasonal items created specifically for October, so they are not necessarily something customers will find throughout the year.
That makes the promotion particularly suitable for anyone who enjoys trying new food releases. Convenience stores are often associated with quick and practical purchases, but limited-edition menus can make a routine visit more interesting.
Another reason to check out the promotion is convenience. The Spooktober Menu is available nationwide, meaning customers do not need to travel to a specific shopping centre or event venue to find the promotion. They can simply check their nearest participating myNEWS outlet.
This is especially convenient for people who are already passing by a myNEWS store on the way to work, during a shopping trip or while travelling. A quick stop could be enough to pick up one of the seasonal items.
It can also be a fun choice for friends, colleagues or family members who enjoy trying themed food together. Instead of ordering the same snacks as usual, everyone could choose a different item from the Spooktober selection and compare their favourites.
For Halloween fans, the themed appearance is another attraction. The charcoal bun and Blackout Cookie, in particular, fit the darker October aesthetic, while the pumpkin soft roll brings a more traditional seasonal touch.
Remember That Stocks Are Limited
There is one important detail customers should remember before making a special trip. The Spooktober Menu is available while stocks last.
Although the promotion runs throughout October, individual items may not necessarily remain available at every outlet for the entire campaign period. Availability can depend on stock levels at each location.
For that reason, customers who are particularly interested in one of the new menu items may want to visit sooner rather than waiting until the end of the month. It is also sensible to check with the outlet if a particular item is the main reason for the visit.
The promotion is scheduled to run from 1 October until 31 October 2026, giving customers plenty of opportunities during the month to look for the seasonal menu. However, limited-stock promotions are always better enjoyed earlier when possible.
A Simple Way to Make October More Interesting
Not every seasonal promotion needs to involve a big event or complicated activity. Sometimes, trying a new snack or limited-edition meal is enough to make an ordinary day a little more enjoyable.
That is essentially what myNEWS is offering with its Spooktober Menu. The campaign combines familiar convenience with Halloween-inspired food, giving customers a choice of savoury, bakery and sweet treats.
For myNEWS members, the extra 50 points on the new items add another incentive to participate. For everyone else, the attraction is the chance to sample a menu that is only available during the October campaign period.
So, if you are already heading past a myNEWS outlet this month, keep an eye out for the Spooktober Menu. Whether the Charcoal Bun Chicken Burger with Special Sauce catches your attention, the Pumpkin Soft Roll sounds more tempting, or you simply cannot resist a Blackout Cookie, October is a good time to try something different.
Just remember that the promotion is only available until 31 October 2026, and the seasonal items are subject to availability while stocks last. For those who enjoy limited-time food releases, Halloween treats and collecting loyalty points, the myNEWS Spooktober Menu could be a fun little addition to the October food hunt.
