Alright, folks, gather round because McDonald’s just dropped some news that’s got fans sprinting to the drive-thru. That’s right—the fast-food giant is rolling out a seasonal favorite, and if you know, you “know”.
We’re talking about the return of the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry! But here’s the kicker: it’s only back for a limited time. So if you’ve been dreaming of that creamy, minty, Oreo-packed goodness, don’t sleep on this one.
Now, for those of you who might not be in the loop, the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry is McDonald’s signature vanilla soft serve blended with their Shamrock mint syrup, then loaded with crushed Oreo cookies. The result? A dessert that’s part milkshake, part ice cream, and 100% delicious. This seasonal treat first hit menus in 2020, and every year since, it’s sent fans into a frenzy. And this year is no different—social media is already blowing up with excitement. One user on X (formerly Twitter) summed it up perfectly: “”The Oreo Shamrock McFlurry goes insanely hard.””
But wait, there’s more! The original Shamrock Shake is also making its grand return. This green-hued classic dates all the way back to 1970, when McDonald’s first introduced it as a St. Patrick’s Day special.
Unlike the McFlurry, the Shamrock Shake keeps it simple—just vanilla soft serve blended with mint syrup and topped with whipped cream. Still, its nostalgic charm keeps fans coming back year after year.
McDonald’s isn’t just serving up sweet treats, though. They’re also using this seasonal comeback to give back. For every Shamrock Shake sold, the company will donate 25 cents to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), aiming to provide 50,000 nights of housing for families with sick children. So, while you’re indulging in your green dessert, you can feel good knowing it’s going toward a good cause.
But the Shamrock Shake and McFlurry aren’t the only things making a comeback. McDonald’s has also announced that it’s bringing back another beloved item: the “Snack Wrap”! That’s right, after nearly a decade of fan petitions, desperate pleas, and social media campaigns, the Snack Wrap is finally making a return.
This crispy chicken, cheese, and dressing-filled tortilla wrap was a cult favorite until McDonald’s axed it in 2016. Now, it’s back as part of the company’s effort to boost sales after a rough fourth quarter in 2024.
Speaking of deals, McDonald’s is also rolling out some budget-friendly options, like the “Buy One, Add One for $1” deal. That means you can add a Sausage McMuffin, hash browns, or even Chicken McNuggets to your meal for just a buck. And if that’s not enough, the new $5 McValue Meal is bringing serious bang for your buck—offering a McDouble or McChicken, small fries, a 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small drink.
So whether you’re craving minty nostalgia, a Snack Wrap reunion, or just a solid fast-food deal, McDonald’s has got you covered. Just remember, the Shamrock McFlurry and Shake won’t be around forever. They hit menus on February 10 and will only be available until March 23—so get ‘em while you can!
