McDonald's is taking ‘out with the old and in with the new’ quite literally after the chain announced it would be launching a first-ever with a new menu next week.

The fast-food giant is giving fans what they want by offering up some unique treats to hungry UK punters, as it embraces the secret menu hacks many social media commenters have been talking about for ages.

Now, instead of having to order the various components separately to compile the off-menu creation yourself, you'll be able to ask for the finished product, whether it's an Espresso Milkshake or a Surf N' Turf burger.

You'll be able to head to your local McDonald’s and get your hands on the Chicken Cheeseburger, which is a combination of a beef patty with a coated chicken patty, then topped with a slice of cheese, onions, mustard and ketchup.

And if you don’t like the idea of that then the Surf N’ Turf burger incorporates its beloved Filet-O-Fish. The concoction has two beef patties, then a white Alaskan Pollock fish fillet patty, with cheese, onions, pickles, mustard and ketchup in a bun.

Now, you’re probably already thinking about all of the sweet treats you can get, and the chain doesn’t disappoint.

Customers can get an Apple Pie Mini McFlurry for £2.99, which is a mini pot of the ice cream with caramel sauce and then topped with a warm Apple Pie.

Or you can slurp down the viral Espresso Milkshake that can get you a sweet vanilla milkshake with a shot of espresso for only £3.69.

If that's not enough, then you can expect to nom on Big Mac sauce in a dipping pot for 20p. Essentially, you can turn any burger into a Big Mac tasting thing.

The menu will be available from 5 January in UK and Ireland stores and will only be available for a limited time.

A burger dubbed a ‘Big Mac on steroids’ is also returning to UK and Ireland menus on the same day.

Known as The Big Arch, the massive burger first launched last summer and will make its permanent comeback on 5 January 2026.

So, there’s that to look forward to, too!
