Your support makes all the difference.Fans of McDonalds have shared their delight after the food chain announced it would be bringing back a wildly popular item to their festive menu.
The blueberry-flavoured milkshake, the Grimace, has now returned to all 1,450 of McDonalds stores across the UK after its successful stint on the menu last August.
However, it is only around for a limited time and is set to only be available for customers for around two weeks, or until stocks run out.
The drink, which is already popular in the US, is inspired by the food chain’s mascot Grimace, and is a lilac purple colour in shade.
A medium shake costs £2.69 and costs and additional 30p if the customer decides to go for a large.
It forms part of the store’s new 2024 winter menu which has seen a number of additional items added, including a brand new Terry’s Chocolate Orange pie, which is a variation on their classic and beloved apple pie.
Other items include the Cheesey McCrispy, which constitutes of the usual fillings such as a crispy chicken fillet, bacon and lettuce, with an additional two slices of cheese and cheese sauce.
However, McDonalds was seen trending online after it announced the popular Big Tasty was due to return for sale after previously being axed in March. It can now be bought at a price between £7.59 or £8.39, depending if the customer wishes to add bacon to their order.
A Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry is also back for Christmas, as well as a Galaxy Caramel option for those with a sweet tooth.
