It's that time of year again when the holiday season is upon us and we're all on the lookout for the best deals and sales. Well, McDonald's is here to make your wishes come true with their exciting new 'gift drop' game. Fans of their famous Monopoly game will definitely want to take part in this treasure hunt style opportunity. The game involves finding gift tags all across the country, some of which will be hidden in plain sight on billboards and in restaurants, while others will require some online and real-life searching.
Each gift tag contains a unique code that can be redeemed on the McDonald's app for amazing prizes. These include free food, MyMcDonald's Rewards Points, and exclusive festive merchandise like Christmas jumpers, pyjamas, and baubles. But that's not all, as you also get two instant food offers - one for a main meal and one for breakfast the next day - when you redeem a gift tag code.
If you're a fan of the iconic McDonald's characters like Grimace, you'll love the 90s-inspired merch that's up for grabs, including jumpers and hats. The gift drop officially starts on November 20, which is also when their new Christmas menu is launched in the UK. This menu brings back old favorites like the Big Tasty, introduces new items like the Cheesy McCrispy, and even has a special treat with the Terry's Chocolate Orange Pie.
The gift drop game will run until December 19, giving you plenty of time to find those gift tags. However, there are a few rules to keep in mind. For instance, only one code can be used per day, per account. So if you try to enter more than one code in a day, the app will kindly ask you to try again tomorrow. Also, while the codes can be used by multiple people, each individual can only enter a code once. And just a heads up, the maximum number of codes that can be entered per person throughout the campaign is 30.
Now, let's take a look at the full list of McDonald's Gift Tag Food Offers. As mentioned before, each gift tag code will give you two food offers - one for breakfast and one for a main meal. These offers are different every day, so you never know what delicious deal you might get. Some of the offers include 99p McMuffins, £1.99 McMuffins and Hash Browns, 99p Mayo Chicken, and even a £5 discount when you spend £15. And for all you vegetarians out there, there's a special mention of an old menu item that might pique your interest.
Speaking of old menu items, did you know that McDonald's recently celebrated its 50th birthday in the UK? As part of the celebrations, they revealed some interesting facts about their history. One of them being a lost menu item from the 70s that actually inspired the creation of their famous Chicken McNuggets. Before the nuggets came along, there were Onion Nuggets on the menu. These were available from 1976 onwards, not just in the UK but also in the US. They were essentially chunks of onions, deep-fried in a delicious batter, and were meant to be a vegetarian option. However, they weren't as successful as the onion rings and were eventually removed from the menu.
But that didn't stop McDonald's from trying to come up with a chicken nugget recipe. In fact, their former development chef started working on it in 1979, after the Chairman suggested the idea. And as we all know, the chicken nuggets finally made their way to our plates in the 80s. Despite the Onion Nuggets not being a hit, they still have a strong fan base online, with many people on Reddit demanding their return. Some even shared their love for the old menu item and how they would love to see it back on the menu someday.
