McDonalds introduces five new Xmas treats... but they won't be here for long

McDonald's has launched five new items for Christmas but they will only be available for a limited period.

The food chain added the new items and brought back some favourites in November. 

The new items include the Big and Cheesy Burger and the Big and Cheesy with bacon. 

Customers can also dine on returning favourites, including Cheese Melt Dippers and the Chicken Big Mac. 

The additions to the menu and prices are listed as:

• The Big & Cheesy £5.49 - (single) / £7.29 (meal)

• The Big & Cheesy with Bacon £6.29 - (single) / £8.09 (meal)

• Chicken Big Mac £4.79 - (single) / £6.59 (meal)

• Cheese Melt Dippers with Rich Tomato Dip - £2.59 (single) / £6.89 (sharebox)

• McDonald's Chicken Combo £14.99

• Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry - £1.49 (mini) / £1.99 (regular)

• Galaxy Caramel McFlurry - £1.49 (mini) / £1.99 (regular)

• Galaxy Caramel Pie £1.99

But the new additions will only feature on menus until January 3. 

McDonald's tends to alter the choices available every six weeks to keep consumers coming back.

The Big and Cheesy burger consists of 100% beef patty, two slices of cheese, crispy onions and red onions, finished with a cheese sauce and sandwiched between a toasted flour-dusted bun. A slice of bacon costs an additional 80p.

The Chicken Big Mac, launched in 2022, is making its third appearance over the festive season.

The classic Big Mac alternative consists of triple-layered bun, two chicken patties, a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce, and Big Mac sauce. 

The Cheese Melt Dippers are made with Camembert and come with a rich tomato dip.

For dessert, the Galaxy Caramel Pie treats customers to a caramel sauce within a crispy chocolate pastry. 

Two new Galaxy McFlurry's have been added to the menu - one swirled with chocolate sauce and the other with caramel, and both with Galaxy stars nestled on top of them. 

The launch of the new items comes after McDonald's last month quietly made a significant price hike to its £1.99 Big Mac deal.
