McDonald’s to Launch 2026 Holiday Menu and Value Meal Deal
McDonald’s will introduce five seasonal beverages and an $8 meal promotion in early November as part of its winter strategy.

McDonald’s is expanding its menu for the upcoming holiday season with the introduction of five new beverages on November 3. The lineup features cranberry-infused Sprite and Red Bull drinks, as well as cookie butter-flavored Frappés, all of which will be available for a limited time in select locations.
In addition to the beverage rollout, the company is introducing an $8 meal deal on November 2. The promotion includes a Quarter Pounder with cheese, medium fries, and a drink, aimed at attracting value-conscious customers during the competitive year-end period.
The seasonal push coincides with the return of the McRib sandwich, which the chain has brought back annually during the fall months. These menu adjustments reflect a broader industry trend of leveraging limited-time offerings and aggressive pricing to maintain customer engagement in the quick-service restaurant sector.
