McDonald’s Holiday Pie Returns for Limited Time
Introduction
When the average American bakes a traditional holiday pie, they usually choose apple, pecan, pumpkin, or sweet potato. But not McDonald’s. McDonald’s has to be different.
What’s in the Pie?
The McDonald’s Holiday Pie contains no fruit or nuts to speak of. Instead, it features creamy, smooth custard nestled in a flaky, buttery crust glazed with sugar and topped with rainbow sprinkles. This unique dessert will be available for a limited time only at select locations starting on November 15.
Availability
The Holiday Pie will be available in select markets, including Seattle, Los Angeles, St. Louis, New York City, Cleveland, Dallas, and more. Customers are advised to check their local restaurants’ offerings via the McDonald’s app, as the spokesperson was unable to reveal which additional markets will be participating.
History of the Pie
The McDonald’s Holiday Pie first debuted in 1999 as a promotional item for the film "Toy Story 2." According to a fan-sourced Fandom page, it is arguably one of the rarest McDonald’s menu items to date, and unlike the regular apple pie, the Holiday Pie is usually, but not always, available during the holiday season.
How Long Will It Last?
A representative for McDonald’s couldn’t say how long the Holiday Pie would remain on the menu during its 2024 return, but indicated it would be available "while supplies last."
Public Interest
Despite not being as traditional as other holiday pies, there appears to be vocal interest in the McDonald’s interpretation. One fan wrote on X, "I don’t eat McDonald’s anymore but I want a holiday pie."
Conclusion
The McDonald’s Holiday Pie is a unique dessert that is sure to be a hit with those looking for something different this holiday season. With its creamy custard and rainbow sprinkles, it’s a treat that’s hard to resist.
