McDonald's unveils Christmas menu featuring never-seen-before items

McDonald's has unveiled its Christmas menu for 2025, and there's plenty on there to get mouths drooling - including a handful of never-seen-before items that others may be, ahem, green with envy over if they see you chowing down.

The good news is you won't have long to wait to try out the latest festive treats - although that's not before it's out with the World Heist Menu departs to make way for the new menu additions.

That means Tuesday 25 November is your final chance to try favourites from across the globe, including the Maple BBQ & Bacon Double Quarter Pounder, Pineapple McSpicy, Garlic & Black Pepper McNuggets, Choco Caramel Pie, Mac & Cheese Triangles, Chocolate Pretzel McFlurry, Caramel Pretzel McFlurry and the Sakura x Sprite.

After that, it's all about the Christmas menu, which drops in restaurants on Wednesday 26 November, giving you plenty of time to check it all out before the big day.

"McDonald’s is spreading festive cheer with a delicious mix of exciting new treats and returning fan favourites!" the chain said.

"This year’s lineup is packed with merry burgers, delightful desserts, tasty sides, and hot or cold drinks to make the season even jollier.

This year, things are taking inspiration from a beloved seasonal Dr Seuss character - yep, it's none other than The Grinch, who's injecting a little mischief into things.

The Grinch Meal is available as a Big Mac, 9 Chicken McNuggets or McPlant meal with new Grinched McShaker Fries, a drink and a pair of limited edition Mismatched Grinch x McDonald's socks - yep, it's essentially a Happy Meal for grown ups. What's not to love?

Those Grinched McShaker Fries are also available on their own, which bring a 'gherkin-flavoured twist' to classic fries.

"Just sprinkle, shake, and savour the moment," McDonald's said.

There's a Frozen Grinch Lemonade, which blends 'a zesty frozen lemonade finished with a vivid Grinch-green melon swirl for a refreshingly cheeky twist', along with a Coconut Latte and Coconut Hot Chocolate.

For anyone who's still got space after all that, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with the Mischief McFlurry, which swirls soft dairy ice cream with festive Smarties, Christmas trees and a fruity strawberry sauce, the Chocolate Brownie McFlurry with brownie cookie pieces and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and the Grumble Pie packed with apple, cranberry and custard... all wrapped in a crispy green pastry.

Also making its festive debut is the Cheesy Chicken Stack - 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating, layered with mega cheese melt, a cheese slice, lettuce, and a warming Chipotle Salsa - and Cheese Melt Dippers.

And, of course, the Big Tasty is also back for the festive season, dubbed by many as the chain's 'best ever' burger, though this time with a few exciting new upgrades. For the first time, it can be ordered as a single or a double, while you can also add bacon.

What was originally emmental cheese has now been changed to white cheddar, and the burger also has a new toasted quarter bounder bun.
