McDonald's festive menu 'leaked' weeks before Christmas release

McDonald’s Christmas menu has reportedly ‘leaked’ weeks before its official release date in the UK.

According to reports, the festive menu will feature a number of Grinch-themed foods, including a Grinch pie with green fillings and a neon-green Grinch-themed lemonade.

Although the fast-food chain has yet to confirm its Christmas menu, it appears that McDonald’s fans are getting excited for the approaching festive season.

Reports also claim that the seasonal menu will include Grinch McShaker Fries, which come with a dill and pickle seasoning, as well as the option for a Grinch Meal.

Fans online have been speculating about further details regarding the exciting menu, which is expected to drop on November 26.

This actually comes a lot later than other food brands, such as Greggs, which have been releasing their Christmas menus in the early weeks of November.

However, it does align with previous years when the fast-food brand has released its seasonal menu around the same time.

Last year, McDonald’s Christmas menu featured the Cheese McCrispy and Terry's Chocolate Orange Pie, alongside Christmas classics such as the Big Tasty and Cheese Melt Dippers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the chocolate orange flavour will be back this year, but there may be some new McFlurries to taste instead.

According to the rumours, here’s what you can expect this year:

News of the alleged menu has been met with mixed reviews on social media, where some people have expressed surprise and scepticism about the McDonald’s rumours.

“Doesn’t look like a U.K. menu,” one person said, while another wrote: “As long as cheese melt dippers are doing a return, so am I.”

Evidently, all will be revealed in the coming weeks.

As the colder winter months arrive and the Christmas lights start to glow, nothing beats getting into the festive mood by tucking into some Christmas food.

News of McDonald’s rumoured Christmas food comes as other brands announce their seasonal delights too.

Other fast food rivals, such as Burger King, have also been getting into the Christmas spirit, having recently introduced its 12-Day Advent Calendar after a sell-out success last year.

KFC also revealed its festive menu earlier in October, with a "festive icon" returning to menus. From this month, KFC lovers can tuck into meals like the Stuffing Stacker Burger and the Festive Double Bucket.
