MCDONALD’S is shaking up its Happy Meal with new iconic items for the first time ever.
The fast food chain is rolling out the cluster of exciting new additions which revellers can get their hands on from today.

Revellers who nab a Happy Meal will be rewarded with a festive Care Bear toy after they’ve guzzled their burger and fries.
“For a limited time only, families can enjoy one of nine spooktacular Care Bears plush toys, each given a Halloween-inspired makeover to spark imagination, storytelling, and play,” the chain revealed.
“From fun mash-ups like Cheer Bear & Grumpy Bear to Tenderheart Bear & Harmony Bear, the collection comes complete with surprising twists for kids to enjoy their very own Care Bears crew this spooky season.
“In addition to the plush toys, McDonald’s is also offering an exclusive Care Bears book, written especially for this campaign and never released before.
“Packed with colour, creativity, and heart-warming adventures, the story extends the magic well beyond mealtime.
“The campaign brings Care Bears from the world of Care-A-Lot into real life, as families can enjoy in-restaurant character visits across the country, themed activity pages, and immersive graphics that make the Happy Meal experience even more magical.
“October half term dates available at selected McDonald’s restaurants – check it out!
“Whether it’s spooky mash-ups from your favourite Care Bears, diving into magical stories, or meeting the characters in person, the Care Bears Happy Meal sparks imagination and shares the care – available for a limited time only, exclusively at McDonald’s.”
What else is new at McDonald’s?
And to celebrate its arrival, the fast food chain is shaking up its menus.
Favourites such as Mozzarella Dippers and the Philly Cheese Stack will make a return.
And fans will also be treated to a brand new Loaded Caramel McFlurry.
But it means a few items will be axed.
Sprite Zero with syrup is the first to go, followed by the Jaffa Cakes McFlurry.
Chilli Cheese Bites, the Steakhouse Stack, Big Tasty, and Spicy Chicken McNuggets will also leave the menu.
The Big Arch and Milky Way McFlurry will also be axed.
Last month, the fast-food chain also announced it would get rid of eight of its menu items in days as part of a new shake-up.
Sprite Zero with syrup will no longer be available.
The drinks were available with either Green Apple or Mango and Passionfruit flavour syrups, and cost £2.19 for a regular.
A new McFlurry flavour – Jaffa Cakes – which was introduced in July is also set to leave menus.
A regular tub cost £2.49 , and combined dairy ice cream swirled with chocolate-covered shortcake pieces and topped with orange sauce.
The Chilli Cheese Bites, the Steakhouse Stack, the Big Tasty, and Spicy Chicken McNuggets will also be scrapped.
How to save at McDonald’s
You could end up being charged more for a McDonald’s meal based solely on the McDonald’s restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald’s receipts.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You’ll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald’s app, so it’s worth signing up to get money off your meals.
The MyMcDonald’s app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up.
You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you’re a My McDonald’s app user.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details – otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
