BIRTHDAY TREATS

What says ‘happy birthday’ better than a ring donut with a strawberry flavoured filling, topped with a buttercream-flavoured icing and sprinkles?! The Birthday Cake Donut 🎂🍩 joins the McCafe® menu and it’s sure to be every dessert fan’s dream.

Best of all, McDonald’s will donate 20p from each Birthday Cake Donut sale to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, which also celebrates its 35^th birthday this year! McDonald’s is a founding and forever partner of the Charity, which provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children in hospital.

It's time for McFlurry fans to rejoice, as TWO brand-new flavours land on the birthday menu. Up first, it’s the Milkybar® Raspberry Ripple McFlurry®🍦🐎, featuring soft dairy ice cream swirled with mini Milkybar chocolate drops and topped with a sweet & sharp raspberry sauce…yum! And if that’s not enough, introducing Munchies® Cookie Dough McFlurry®🍫🍪, made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with chocolate-coated Munchies biscuit pieces and topped with a caramel cookie dough sauce. Two perfect nostalgic flavours to truly get in the birthday mood.

AND FOR THE MAIN EVENT…

It wouldn’t be a McDonald’s line-up without our legendary burgers, and it is no different on the brand’s big birthday. Fan favourites Double Big Mac®🐄🍔 and Double Big Mac® with Bacon 🍔 🥓. will be re-joining the menu, featuring four 100% beef patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce, onion, and pickles. And the sauce. That unbeatable, tasty Big Mac® sauce 😋

Making its first re-appearance since October 2023, it’s the McCrispy® BBQ Smokehouse 🐔 🍔! This burger is made up of 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a delicious sourdough style sesame topped bun.

CELEBRATORY SIDES AND SHAREBOXES

Calling all garlic bread fans! Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers 🧀 will be making their grand debut in this extra special birthday menu. Featuring four mozzarella dippers flavoured with garlic and chives in a ciabatta-style breadcrumb coating, served with rich tomato dip. Also available in a Sharebox. Say cheese!

Last but certainly not least, the McDonald’s Chicken Sharebox® 🐔 will be staying on the menu, including six Chicken Selects®, twelve Chicken McNuggets®, plus two McNuggets® dips and two Selects® dips. Cluckin’ lovely.

But if Chicken Selects are your favourite, don’t worry, the 9 Chicken Selects Sharebox® with 3 Selects® Dips 🐔 will also be remaining.

Now that’s what we call a birthday menu!
