Fans will be able to grab the new additions at all UK and Ireland restaurants from 11am on Wednesday morning.
Joining the menu for the first time are two new burgers, the Big and Cheesy, and the Big and Cheesy with bacon.
You can also get in the Christmas spirit with two new festive McFlurrys – the chain is introducing new variations on its Galaxy ice creams.
Launching for the first time is the Galaxy Caramel Pie, a fresh take on the classic apple pie.

Those who don’t fancy a change can dig into the Chicken Big Mac which is making its third return to the Maccies menu.
And, another yuletide favourite is also back – the beloved Cheese Melt Dippers will be available again.
You’ll need to be quick if you fancy giving these items a go though as they’re only sticking around for six weeks until January 3.
The Big and Cheesy burger is made up of a hefty beef patty, two slices of cheese, and both red and crispy onions.

It’s all topped in a cheese sauce and sandwiched between a toasted flour-dusted bun.
You can buy the burger on its own for £5.49 or £7.29 as a meal with a side and a drink.
If you’re looking to take it up a notch though, why not give the Big and Cheesy with bacon a go too.
Fans can grab it for £6.29 by itself or £8.09 as a meal.
Making a comeback for a third time is the popular Chicken Big Mac which has proven a huge hit with fans since it first debuted in 2022.
It’s a twist on the iconic Big Mac with a triple-layered bun, two chicken patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce, pickles – and of course the Big Mac sauce.
The burger costs £4.79 for a single and £6.59 for a meal.
Back again just in time for the cold weather are the Cheese Melt Dippers, made with Camembert and served with a rich tomato dip.
You get four in a pack for £2.59 or £6.89 for a Sharebox of 12.
Not only that but the McDonald’s Chicken Combo is also hitting restaurants for the first time.
This festive feast was launched on delivery platforms earlier this month and includes 10 Chicken Selects and a 20 Chicken McNuggets Sharebox.
It costs £14.99 for the lot.
For fans with a sweet tooth, there are three sweet treats to choose from this festive season.
If you loved the axed Chocolate Pie and the soon-to-be axed Toffee Apple Pie will likely be keen on the new Galaxy Caramel Pie a try.
It’s a Galaxy caramel sauce encased in a crispy chocolate coating and costs £1.99.
There are two new Galaxy McFlurrys as well, one swirled with chocolate sauce and one with caramel.
They’re topped with a large helping of chocolate stars with that signature Galaxy taste.
Both cost £1.49 for a mini-size and £1.99 for a regular.
Not only that but the McDonald’s Festive Wins promotion, which kicked off on November 1, has entered its penultimate week.
It gives fans the chance to bag offers and prizes each day of November including Big Macs and cash.
It offers 17 chances to grab your favourite menu items for as little as 99p, all available exclusively on the McDonald’s UK App.
Here’s the full list of items on the McDonald’s winter menu and their prices:
- The Big & Cheesy £5.49 – (single) / £7.29 (meal)

It comes as part of McDonald’s regular menu switch-up which often sees a host of new snacks and meals added.
Fans aren’t too happy to see some of the items go though, with many furious to see the Philly Cheese Stack go.
It was new to the Maccies menu in October as part of the Halloween range and was a hit from the beginning.
Now fans are crying out for the chain to make it permanent and saying their “whole festive season” is going to be ruined.
We tried the popular burger and were just as impressed.
Meanwhile, we also gave the Christmas menu a go before anyone else.
Plus, fans claim “Christmas is ruined” after finding out that a festive favourite has been left off the winter menu.
