In December, McDonald's Saudi Arabia celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Happy Meal.  In this occasion, McDonald’s organized different activities for children and their parents to enjoy, creating happy moments around the Kingdom.

One of McDonald's initiatives was the creation of a series of events celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Happy Meal. The activities were held in various cities across the Western & Southern regions of the Kingdom, giving back to the communities by spreading moments of happiness.

Throughout the month of December, the different activities included a variety of games that aimed to strengthen the bond between parents and children through better communication and cooperation with a chance to win prizes and ultimately, spend quality time together. The events were launched in cooperation with multiple local mall centers in various cities, starting from Jizan and Madinah, followed by Abha, Taif and Tabuk, and ending with the cities of Jeddah and Makkah.
