MCDONALD’S is set to axe eight items off its Christmas menu from tomorrow.
Fans have been calling for a “gorgeous” sweet treat to be made permanent ahead of its axing.

The fast-food giant changes up its menu every six weeks or so, sometimes offering all-new items or bringing back returning favourites.
So if you haven’t tried the festive menu yet you have until the end of the day on January 3 to give it a go.
One of the items fans seem to be the most gutted about is the Galaxy Caramel Pie.
The sweet treat was first introduced in late November alongside other never-before-seen items.

It’s a fresh take on the classic Maccies apple pie, a staple of the UK menu.
The pie is filled with Galaxy-flavoured caramel sauce encased in a crispy chocolate pastry and costs £1.99.
It was the latest incarnation of McDonald’s pies following the axed Chocolate Pie, Festive Pie and Toffee Apple Pie.
Maccies lovers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their disappointment that the treat is being cut.

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.
How can I save on my McDonald’s order?
There are plenty of ways you can save on your next trip to McDonald’s.
You should choose your branch wisely – menu prices can vary across different restaurants just a couple of miles apart.
We’ve seen Big Mac meals up to 30p cheaper before, which added up over the course of a year could save you a fair few pounds.
You can also get freebies on your birthday if you’ve got the My McDonald’s app.
Remember to log your date of birth on the app though, otherwise, you’ll miss out.
You can get a Big Mac and fries for just £1.99 as well if you fill out the quick feedback survey following your last visit.
All you’ll need is your receipt which should have been issued no more than 60 days after your visit.
A 12-digit code will be printed on the proof of purchase and then you can enter the McDonald’s Food for Thought website to fill out a quick survey.
