McRib Returns to McDonald’s Menus This Holiday Season
McRib Fans, Rejoice!
Christmas is coming early for fans of an iconic McDonald’s sandwich that only pops up on the menu once in a blue moon: the famous McRib. Beginning December 3, McDonald’s McRib will return to menus, the burger chain announced in an Instagram post.
A Legendary Return
The post came one day after the chain teased the "legendary" sandwich might return to restaurants – and four months after McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger said in an interview with TODAY that the iconic sandwich would return "later this year."
It’s the Season for McRib SZN
"The wait is finally over," McDonald’s said in a release. "Starting December 3, for a limited time, your favorite saucy sandwich – the McRib – returns to participating restaurants just in time to satisfy your holiday cravings. After all, ’tis the season…McRib SZN, that is."
Limited Edition McRib Sauce Jugs
The company also announced that it would sell limited edition, half-gallon jugs of the sandwich’s tangy, iconic sauce – perfect for holiday parties, festive recipes or the ultimate stocking stuffer for McRib lovers. The jug’s label resembles an "ugly" holiday sweater.

The jug of McRib sauce will be available for purchase beginning at 9 a.m. CT on November 25, while supplies last. According to the chain, it will only be available to buy online via a dedicated site: wholelottamcribsauce.com.
