McDonald’s has officially unleashed its much-anticipated Easter menu across UK restaurants, bringing a mix of exciting new additions and beloved returning fan-favorites. The rollout began on Tuesday, March 17th, with offerings designed to satisfy both sweet and savory cravings for a limited time.
New Sweet Treats: The Cadbury Mini Eggs McFlurry and Frappe
This year’s Easter lineup introduces two brand-new Cadbury Mini Eggs-themed indulgences. Headlining the sweet treats is the Cadbury Mini Eggs McFlurry, which blends McDonald’s signature soft-serve ice cream with crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and a decadent chocolate-flavored sauce. It joins the ranks of seasonal favorites, promising a burst of Easter cheer with every spoonful.
Complementing the McFlurry is the new Cadbury Mini Eggs Frappe, a rich chocolate frappe base mixed with ice and finely crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, all topped with whipped cream and a dusting of more Mini Eggs. This unique seasonal beverage offers a “spring sip” for those seeking a refreshing, coffee-infused chocolate experience. Initially, the Cadbury Mini Eggs Frappe was exclusively available via the McDonald’s App from March 17th, before becoming available across all channels, excluding McDelivery, from March 24th. Also making a triumphant return is the cult-favorite Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry, swirling soft dairy ice cream with chocolate shards and a distinctive Creme Egg sauce, an annual Easter tradition for many.
The Return of Savory Classics: Double Big Mac and Spicy McNuggets
For those favoring savory options, McDonald’s has brought back several robust choices. The formidable Double Big Mac is once again gracing menus, featuring four 100% British and Irish beef patties, along with the classic Big Mac sauce, crisp lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions, all nestled in a sesame seed bun. This supersized burger offers “double of the iconic Big Mac taste,” delivering substantial satisfaction. For an even heartier option, the Double Big Mac with Bacon has also returned, adding smoky bacon to the already generous four-patty build.
Adding a fiery kick to the menu, Spicy Chicken McNuggets are back for a limited run, available in six, nine, or 20-piece share boxes, and served with a spicy chili dip. First introduced in the UK in August 2019, these nuggets, made with 100% chicken breast coated in a spicy batter, quickly garnered a passionate following. However, their return has not been without controversy. Some customers have expressed frustration over pricing, with a 6-piece Spicy Chicken McNuggets meal sparking a UK price backlash at £7.29.
