Adult Happy Meals Now at McDonald’s

August 12, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

Nostalgic McDonald’s characters are making a comeback with the launch of a new limited-edition adult Happy Meal. For the first time in more than 20 years, Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese and the Fry Friends are officially taking the trip out of the group chat. Fans are invited to visit the Golden Arches to grab the all new McDonaldland Meal, starting Aug. 12.

McDonald's is bringing back its nostalgic McDonaldland brand for the first time in more than 20 years, launching a new meal inspired by the fictional universe.

The meal features a new, limited-edition Mt. McDonaldland Shake – an ode to one of its major landmarks – that offers a secret concoction as enchanting as the world itself. It’s up to you to discover the surprise flavor. It also comes with your choice of a Quarter Pounder® with Cheese or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets®, fries and a mystery-flavored Mt. McDonaldland Shake, a nod to the fictional universe’s volcano and its blue lava and pink clouds, the announcement noted.

“There’s an entire magical world of McDonaldland filled with characters, places and lore,” Jennifer “JJ” Healan, vice president of brand, content, and culture at McDonald’s USA said in a statement. “We are taking fans on a trip to McDonaldland with an immersive experience that taps into the past to create the future.”

“Over the past few years we’ve seen how fans flock to our characters, everyone from Grimace to the Hamburglar. But many, especially the new generation, don’t know that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s an entire magical world of McDonaldland filled with characters, places and lore,” said Jennifer “JJ” Healan, McDonald’s VP, U.S. Marketing, Brand, Content & Culture. “And so, for the first time in decades we are taking fans on a trip to McDonaldland with an immersive experience that taps into the past to create the future. It’s a chance for us to give fans a new, modern way to experience this magical world.”

So, pack your bags for a fun-filled itinerary that lets you explore all that McDonaldland has to offer!
