Of course, I’m kidding. These Surprise Happy Meals will each have one of the most popular Happy Meal toys from the last four decades. They will be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants beginning today, November 7 through Monday, November 11, while supplies last.

FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s Cinnamon Cookie Latte and Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce

/ / Fast Food News / 4 Comments

News McCafe Holiday menu items

McDonald’s has given us two presents this holiday season that we have to pay for with our own money — the McCafe Cinnamon Cookie Latte and Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce.

The Cinnamon Cookie Latte features the sweet taste of cinnamon, milk, and freshly brewed 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified espresso. It’s also topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s available hot or cold, and can be ordered all day long throughout the holiday season.

The McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce combines the cinnnamon and sugary treat that made its debut earlier this year with a side of chocolate sauce. It’s available by the half-dozen or dozen, and only during breakfast hours.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think in the comments.
