McDonald's aficionados are in high spirits as the chain gears up to introduce its Christmas menu treats, promising a delectable festive period.

The forthcoming holiday season beckons with tempting Christmas-themed options for customers, including a returning favourite.

Last year’s menu featured a delightful Galaxy Caramel Pie, much to the delight of dessert enthusiasts.

Now, chocolate lovers eagerly anticipate Terry’s Chocolate Orange pie, set to grace this year’s menu.

Alongside this chocolatey treat will be an exciting new burger, two beloved returning burger specials, cheese melt dippers, and a selection of drinks and sweet treats infused with Galaxy Caramel flavours.

Eager McDonald's fans should mark their calendars for November 20, when the limited edition winter menu will be released.

However, they should act quickly, as these seasonal offerings are available for only a brief period or while supplies last.

In early discussions this year, a representative from McDonald's said: "From Christmas until New Year's, enjoy this festive lineup of seasonal foods and beverages served", reports the Manchester Evening News.

They further explained, "The exact dishes vary but the menu always includes festively-themed burgers, cookies, shakes and more. Returning favourites like the Reindeer Mac and gingerbread lattes join new surprises each year."

The statement concluded with a dash of holiday cheer: "One thing is guaranteed – between the Santa sauce drizzled burgers, cinnamon bun desserts and candy cane coffees, McDonald's has all you need to dash through the snow on a one-horse open sleigh down to your nearest location."

McDonald's festive menu has set social media abuzz, with UK Newest Foods revealing the mouth-watering additions: "McDonald's Christmas menu, launching November 20, includes Terrys Chocolate Orange Pie, Terry's Chocolate Orange McFlurry, the best Cheese Dippers, Big Tasty and more..."

The excitement didn't stop there as the announcement continued, "It added there will also be a Big Tasty with bacon, a new Cheese McCrispy, Cheese Melt Dippers Sharebox, Terry's Chocolate Orange Mini McFlurry, Galaxy Caramel McFlurry, Galaxy Caramel Latte and a Galaxy Caramel Hot Chocolate."

Fans couldn't contain their enthusiasm, with one commenting, "It's almost time," while another exclaimed, "Yess cheese dippers. The absolute best thing on the McDonald's menu ever."

Others praised the cheese melts and anticipation for the chocolate orange pie, with remarks like "You're not wrong about those cheese melts being the best," and "Living for the pie."

The excitement was palpable as another fan said, "Can't wait to try the orange pie," and someone who had been waiting over a decade declared, "I have been waiting for over 10 years (I think) for them to bring back the chocolate orange pie."

Another stated, "That Terry's pie sounds lush," while another eagerly anticipated trying the hot chocolate.
