McDonald’s is getting a head start on its birthday celebrations in Britain by launching a special limited-edition menu in July.

The fast food chain, which celebrates 50 years in the UK in October, has unveiled several new products and announced the return of some iconic burgers.

Customers can get their hands on three new desserts starting July 17, including a Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry, a Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry and a Birthday Cake Donut.

The colorful ring donut has a strawberry filling, topped with buttercream-flavored icing and sprinkles. While the Milkybar McFlurry consists of soft ice cream, mini Milkybar chocolate drops and a sweet and tart raspberry sauce.

Similarly, the new Munchies consists of ice cream, chocolate-covered Munchies cookies, and caramel cookie dough sauce.

For those who prefer something savory, we have good news, because the epic Double Big Mac is back, as is the Double Big Mac with bacon. Yes, your favorite burger just got bigger.

The McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse will also make its first appearance on the program since October 2023.

This chicken burger features crispy breaded chicken with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion and lettuce, all in a sourdough bun with sesame seeds.

But the fun doesn’t stop there, because McDonald’s is also launching brand new Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers.

Available as a side dish or as a share box, these are a twist on the classic mozzarella dippers. These cheesy mozzarella bites are flavoured with garlic and chives and topped with a ciabatta-style breadcrumb coating. They are served with a rich tomato dip.

And last but not least: the chicken sharebox remains on the menu this summer, so you can still enjoy Chicken Selects, Chicken Nuggets and a lot of dips.

However, there is one downside to this menu change, which is that some of the current items will disappear.

The Hat Trick burger, a triple burger with two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard and ketchup in a glazed sesame seed bun, will disappear from the menu, as will the Skittles McFlurry and the Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie.

The Galaxy Caramel McFlurry is also ready to go, as it is being replaced by the new flavors.

If you want to get your hands on one, you’ll have to be quick, because your last chance to enjoy it is on July 16.

This comes after McDonald’s recently launched an American favourite in the UK – which is still available.

The Oreo Frappe launched on June 26th. It’s an ice cold vanilla-based drink blended with ice and Oreo pieces, topped with cream and more Oreo pieces.

The sweet treat costs £3.09 for a regular and £3.39 for a large, and will be available until September 3.
