Tara, McDo Muna: Make Your Little Christmas Moments More Special with the NEW McDonald’s Holiday Specials

The holiday rush in the Philippines is officially underway. Between navigating packed malls, juggling year-end deadlines, and coordinating endless family reunions, the festive season can often feel like a whirlwind. Recognizing the beauty in slowing down, McDonald’s Philippines is once again inviting Filipinos to take a well-deserved pause, reconnect with loved ones, and savor the spirit of the season with the launch of its limited-time holiday menu.

Starting November 3, McDonald’s stores nationwide are serving up an exciting mix of savory and sweet festive treats designed to turn routine breaks into memorable holiday celebrations. Leading the lineup is the new Sweet BBQ Chicken McDo. This fresh take on a beloved classic features bone-in fried chicken glazed in a rich, tangy, and smoky barbecue sauce that pairs perfectly with warm white rice. Crafted to deliver maximum comfort in every bite, it brings a delicious new dimension to family mealtime during the holidays.

To complete the festive feast, McDonald’s is also rolling out three limited-edition McFlurry creations that highlight iconic Filipino flavor profiles:

• McFlurry Ube with Oreo: A nostalgic nod to classic Filipino holiday desserts, combining smooth ube-flavored syrup with crunchy crushed Oreo cookies swirled into creamy vanilla soft-serve.

• McFlurry Choco Pinipig: A festive mix of rich milk chocolate and toasted, crunchy pinipig (toasted rice crispies), offering a satisfying texture contrast in every spoon.

• McFlurry Durian (Mindanao Exclusive): Tailored specifically for customers in Mindanao, this unique regional variant features a smooth, white-chocolate durian mix-in that adds a decadent local twist to the classic soft-serve.

“Christmas is full of big celebrations, but some of the season’s most meaningful and fun moments happen in the in-between,” said NJ Caballar-Azurin, Senior Brand Manager at McDonald’s Philippines. “With our holiday Chicken McDo and holiday McFlurry flavors, we’re giving everyone another way to enjoy a little treat during the Christmas rush, whether they’re taking a break from holiday errands or sharing a quick bite with loved ones. It’s one more way to make McDo Muna part of their holiday tradition.”

Beyond the menu board, McDonald’s Philippines is extending the McDo Muna experience through a series of interactive seasonal activations. These customer-focused events will give fans across the country opportunities to taste the new items while creating shared memories amid the hectic pace of December.

“We want our holiday offerings to be more than just a seasonal menu—mag-McDo muna is an invitation to make time for the small, joyful moments that truly make Christmas special,” added Caballar-Azurin. “Whether customers find a new favorite in the Sweet BBQ Chicken McDo or pair their usual orders with our Ube, Choco Pinipig, or Durian McFlurries, we hope these flavors provide a reason to pause, gather, and enjoy the season together.”

To make these holiday treats even sweeter, McDonald’s is rolling out exclusive promotions available via the McDonald’s App:

The full holiday menu line-up is now available across all McDonald's branches nationwide via dine-in, take-out, drive-thru, McDelivery, and major third-party delivery platforms. Take a break from the rush this Christmas—Tara, mag-McDo muna!
