MCDONALD’S is set to shake up its menu in the New Year – and details of the items have been leaked online early.
Posts on Facebook and Instagram have revealed the fast food chain is adding six items to its offering from January 8.

McDonald’s regularly updates its menu and had planned on updating customers over Christmas on its latest change.
The fast food giant confirmed the menu items to The Sun, which will be available to customers from January 8.
The new items are:
- brand-new katsu crispy wrap – from £1.99
- brand-new katsu grilled wrap – from £1.99
- brand-new Milkyway McFlurry
- brand-new BBQ ranch stack burger
- McCrispy BBQ smokehouse
- Mozzarella dippers
The prices and calories for the items haven’t been revealed yet, but we do know that the katsu wrap will cost £1.99 on Wednesdays as part of its wrap deal.
The Katsu wraps include a choice of crispy or grilled chicken, coated in katsu sauce, alongside crispy onions, crunchy cucumber and fresh lettuce, all wrapped in a warm, toasted tortilla.
Meanwhile, the BBQ Ranch Stack burger comes with two 100% beef patties topped with cheese made with Emmental, lettuce, bacon, crispy onions, creamy ranch and sweet BBQ sauce, in a glazed sesame seed bun.
The Milkyway McFlurry combines soft serve dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt flavoured pieces topped with chocolate sauce.
The BBQ Smokehouse McCrispy is also back, after last being on menus in September, when it was £5.59 or £7.49 as part of a meal.
The burger is made up of chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, lettuce, all in a sourdough style sesame topped bun.
Meanwhile, the Mozzarella Dippers are also back on menus from next month after last being available in October.
The dippers consist of mozzarella and emmental cheese with a smoky caramelised onion-flavoured breadcrumb coating.
McDonald’s also brought back its Grimace milkshake last week, after it last hit restaurants in August.
The blueberry-flavoured drink is inspired by the purple Maccie’s mascot Grimace.
But, it’s only around for either two weeks or until stocks run out so, again, you’ll have to be fast.
MACCIES CHRISTMAS MENU
It comes after the fast food chain shook up its menu for Christmas, including a new burger and dessert.
Customers have been able to get the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie for £1.99 and Cheesy McCrispy from £5.99 since November 20.
The pie combines crispy chocolate pastry with Terry’s Chocolate Orange-flavoured ganache filling – a blend of chocolate and cream.
The new burger is a twist on the classic McCrispy, with additional condiments like crispy onions, cheese slices and a pink pickled onion chutney.
Some classic menu items made a return too including the Big Tasty, with customers left buzzing at the return of the iconic burger.
One said: “Finally the Big Tasty is back!”
These items will be coming off when the menu changes on January 8.
How do I find my nearest McDonald’s?
If you’re planning on taking a trip to McDonald’s, you’ll want to know where your nearest branch is.
The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one – and check what time it opens.
Bear in mind that McDonald’s serves breakfast every day until 11am.
After that, the menu switches to the normal menu serving meals such as burgers, chicken nuggets and more.
In other news, McDonald’s launched its Christmas ad last month, which some viewers have branded better than John Lewis‘.
How to save at McDonald’s
You could end up being charged more for a McDonald’s meal based solely on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald’s receipts.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You’ll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald’s app, so it’s worth signing up to get money off your meals.
The MyMcDonald’s app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up.
You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you’re a My McDonald’s app user.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details – otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
