Trick AND Treat: Ring & M&M'S return to turn UK doorsteps into the ultimate Halloween prank zone
This Halloween, Ring is once again joining forces with M&M’S for the most entertaining doorbell experience with a new series of hilarious Quick Replies for Ring Video Doorbell. Featuring the iconic voice and humour of M&M'S character ‘Red’, the new Quick Replies are sure to turn your doorstep into the neighbourhood's most amusing Halloween spot.
Turn your door into a prank zone
Ring and M&M'S are back to shake things up, turning UK doorsteps into viral video moments. For a limited time this autumn, Ring Video Doorbell users can access exclusive M&M'S-voiced Quick Replies that bring classic Halloween pranks to their doorstep. Whether you're home or away, M&M'S cheeky Quick Replies will automatically play when the doorbell is pressed, keeping visitors entertained while they wait.

That’s not all! To reward the UK's best Halloween pranksters, Ring and M&M’S are inviting users to share visitors’ funniest reactions for a chance to turn ghostly giggles into exclusive prizes. Between October 17th and November 1st, 2025, users who post their Ring footage on Instagram or TikTok with the hashtag will be automatically entered into a weekly draw for £150 - plus some sweet M&M'S prize packages throughout the season.
How it works
Quick Replies is a feature that allows your Ring Video Doorbell to automatically respond to visitors when you can't answer the door - no Ring Home subscription needed. With the special Halloween collection, you can choose from seven uniquely crafted responses featuring the signature M&M'S humour we all know and love.

Choose from:
Happy Halloween - Get visitors searching for a phantom treat bowl
Come Closer - A classic "come closer" routine with a BOO that never fails
Open Sesame - Add some Halloween magic at your front door
Ghost Test - Check whether your visitor is what they seem
Leave a message after the scream - Prepare for doorstep giggles and startled squeals
Prank Zone - Have your visitors stepped into the M&M'S prank zone?
Creepy Crawly - Keep your visitors on their toes with a search for a stealthy spider

Setting Up Your Halloween Quick Replies:
Open your Ring app
Select your Ring Video Doorbell
Tap Settings
Select Quick Replies
Choose from the M&M'S Halloween collection
Hit Save and watch the magic happen!

Or greet visitors in real-time by clicking the Quick Replies button when you're in Live View.

The Quick Replies feature is free for all Ring users. Plus, with a Ring Home subscription, you can review and save all those priceless reactions, and share the most frightfully fun moments with friends and family right straight from the Ring app.
