Attention all vegans! McDonald's has just released an exciting new dessert for you to try this summer. If you happen to stop by a McDonald's today, you'll notice a tasty addition to their menu. That's right, the fast-food giant has launched a vegan dessert that has been accredited by the Vegetarian Society. It's called Scoop and it comes in two delicious flavors: Choco and Strawberry. The best part? It's served in a tub, just like a McFlurry, but without any toppings. McDonald's describes it as "deliciously smooth and creamy" and claims it's like "summer in a scoop."
But before you rush to your nearest McDonald's, there's a catch. This new dessert is currently only available in 52 restaurants as part of a trial in the North West of England. Locations involved in the trial include Manchester, Rochdale, Ardwick, Bury, Denton, Stockport, and Ashton-Under-Lyne. The trial will run from June 12 to September 3, and if all goes well, the vegan dessert will hopefully be available nationwide by 2025.
But don't worry, vegans, McDonald's has other options for you to cool off this summer. The McFreezy, a frozen ice dessert with fruit juice and puree, is currently available in Orange or Mango and Pineapple flavor. However, like the vegan Scoop, it is not yet available nationwide. It can be found in 187 restaurants across the North West region and select locations in the Republic of Ireland, including Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Merseyside.
In addition to these new menu items, McDonald's also has a fun new competition for customers to participate in. Similar to their popular Monopoly game, the Surprize Fries promotion allows customers to peel off stickers from food items to reveal prizes such as free food, limited-edition merchandise, money, and tickets to summer festivals and events in partnership with See Tickets.
Now, for the list of the 52 McDonald's restaurants currently selling the Vegan Scoop. (I know, it's a long list, but it's worth it for all you vegan dessert lovers out there!)
But wait, there's more! From now until July 2, customers can win up to £200 in cash just by ordering Medium or Large Fries. And there are millions of other prizes up for grabs during this five-week promotion. Some prizes are instant wins, while others require a code to be entered in the MyMcDonald's App to find out what you've won.
But the festivities don't stop there. To celebrate their 50th anniversary, McDonald's will also be giving away free fries at some of the biggest festivals around the UK this summer. The food truck will be making appearances at events such as Parklife in Manchester, Isle of Wight festival, Wireless, Flackstock, and Leeds Festival. Festivalgoers can find the truck in both the main arena and VIP areas, and there will even be an iconic Golden Arches statue for those Instagram-worthy photos.
But don't worry if you're not attending any of these festivals. McDonald's has plenty of surprises planned for the summer, including exclusive giveaways on their social media channels. And for all you football fans, keep an eye out for special promotions during the Euros.
