McDonald's has some exciting news for its UK customers! Starting on September 4, they will be introducing some big changes to their menu. Not one, not two, but FIVE fan-favorite items will be making a comeback. And as if that wasn't enough, they will also be launching a brand new drink and slashing the price of coffee to just £1.39 for select options.
Unfortunately, with these exciting new additions, we will have to say goodbye to the current birthday menu. Farewell to the Double Big Mac, Raspberry Ripple Milkybar McFlurry, and the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse. But don't worry, you still have until September 3 to indulge in these items before they're gone.
So, what exactly can we expect from the new menu? Well, the beloved Philly Cheese Stack will be making its return. For those who haven't tried it, this mouth-watering burger consists of two beef patties, cheese sauce, two slices of cheese, grilled and crispy onions, pickles, all nestled in a toasted bun. It was first introduced in October 2023 but was sadly removed in November of the same year, causing fans to say that Christmas was "ruined." Online, people raved about its deliciousness, with one Twitter user proclaiming it as the "best limited-edition burger McDonald's has ever done."
Similarly, the Chicken Big Mac will also be making a comeback. This twist on the classic Big Mac features two chicken breast patties in a crispy coating, a triple-layered bun, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and of course, the iconic Big Mac sauce. It was last on the menu in December 2023 and was a hit among chicken lovers.
And let's not forget about the Mozzarella Dippers, served with a tasty salsa dip for just £2.39. And for dessert, you can choose between a Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry or a Twix Caramel McFlurry. The Twix McFlurry and Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry are also making a comeback, so be sure to save some room for a sweet treat.
But that's not all, Twix fans! McDonald's is also introducing a new drink, the Twix Latte. This delicious beverage is described as a smooth latte blended with Twix flavor syrup, topped with caramel cream and Twix crumb. Yum!
In addition to these menu changes, McDonald's recently announced a new price for coffee, which is £2 cheaper than the UK average. They use freshly ground Arabica Beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms to create their coffee, and now you can enjoy an Americano or white coffee for just £1.39. Other options such as latte, cappuccino, or flat white are also available for just £1.99, and for a little extra indulgence, you can try the toffee latte for £2.29.
But wait, there's more! For one week only, McDonald's lovers will have the chance to try a rare item from the US. The Grimace Shake, a viral purple drink, will be available in restaurants nationwide from August 28 to September 3. This colorful treat features a blueberry flavored syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base, creating the perfect purple combination. It will be available for £2.69 for a medium shake and £2.99 for a large, and can be purchased in-store, through the McDonald's app, at the drive-thru, or via McDelivery.
The Grimace Shake was first launched in America in June 2023 and was available for a month to celebrate the 52nd birthday of the chain's purple character, Grimace. Its release sparked a bizarre TikTok trend, with people pretending to collapse after taking a sip of the drink. This trend is said to have started because the character of Grimace was originally introduced as a villain who liked to steal milkshakes. However, his "evil" persona was later dropped, and he became a clumsy but friendly monster. According to McDonald's, he is the embodiment of a milkshake or a taste bud.
Many famous faces, including Friends star Courteney Cox, took to social media to share their thoughts on the milkshake after its release. She even shared a parody video of her dog trying the drink and turning into a giant purple creature.
So, which item from the new menu are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments. And don't forget to mark your calendars for September 4 to try all of these delicious new options at McDonald's!
