McDonald’s has kicked off the new year with an exciting menu update.
As we wave goodbye to the holiday season, the fast-food giant is welcoming a variety of mouthwatering additions across UK restaurants.
Starting today, customers can dive into a fresh selection of items, including a brand-new burger, wrap, and McFlurry.
Fresh Flavours: Chicken Katsu Wrap and More
One of the standout items is the Chicken Katsu One wrap, priced at £3.49, or £5.29 as part of a meal.
The wrap is packed with crispy or grilled chicken strips, crispy onions, cucumber, fresh lettuce, and a generous drizzle of Japanese-inspired katsu sauce, all wrapped in a warm, toasted tortilla.
If you’re looking to grab a deal, you can get this wrap and other flavours for just £1.99 on Wednesdays.
New Burger Creations: BBQ Ranch Stack and McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse
For burger enthusiasts, the BBQ Ranch Stack is sure to be a hit.
This indulgent creation features two 100% beef patties, melted Emmental cheese, lettuce, bacon, crispy onions, creamy ranch sauce, and a sweet BBQ sauce, all stacked inside a glazed sesame seed bun.
The BBQ Ranch Stack is priced at £5.19 for a single item, or £6.99 with a meal.
If you prefer chicken, you’ll be pleased to know the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse is back on the menu.
This burger, priced at £5.79 for a single item or £7.49 with a meal, boasts a crispy chicken fillet topped with cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, and smoky BBQ sauce, served in a sourdough-style sesame bun.
Originally launched in October 2023, this fan-favourite is now part of the revamped menu.
Sweet Treats: Milky Way McFlurry and Mozzarella Dippers
For those with a sweet tooth, McDonald’s is introducing the Milky Way McFlurry.
This delicious dessert, priced at £2.19, features creamy dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt-flavoured pieces, finished off with a rich chocolate sauce.
In addition, the beloved Mozzarella Dippers are back, offering three sticks of gooey mozzarella cheese coated in breadcrumbs and served with a tangy salsa dip.
You can grab a portion of three for £2.39, or go for a larger serving of nine for £7.09.
Limited-Time Offers
These exciting new menu items will be available for six weeks, starting January 6.
However, the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse will stick around a little longer, staying on the menu until May 6, while the Mozzarella Dippers will be available until March 25.
Fans React to Change in Sweet ‘N’ Sour Sauce
While the new menu items are getting plenty of love, McDonald’s has also faced backlash over a subtle change to its Sweet ‘N’ Sour dipping sauce.
Fans on TikTok have voiced their displeasure with the updated recipe, calling it “disgusting” and a “violation.”
One TikTok user, @demmmx92, posted a comparison of the old and new packaging, highlighting the changes to both the design and the flavour.
The shift has sparked a lot of reactions, with many fans upset about the change to the much-loved sauce.
What’s next for McDonald’s fans? It looks like there’s more to come as the brand continues to evolve its menu offerings throughout the year.
