FESTIVE FAIL

Maccies has put introduced a new item in its place

  • Olivia Marshall

MCDONALD'S fans claim "Christmas is ruined" after finding out that a festive favourite has been left off the winter menu.

The fast food chain revealed its new menu earlier this week and it includes five new items, like the big and cheesy burger and Galaxy Caramel pie.

But to make way for the changes, McDonald's has decided not to bring back the festive pie and fans are gutted.

The Festive pie was a Christmassy apple pie, filled with sweet mincemeat and custard.

It returned to menus in 2021 for the first time in five years, and it proved so popular that Maccies brought it back again last year.

Fast food fans have taken to social media to share their outrage at the decision to leave it off this year's menu.

How do I find my nearest McDonald's?

The chain has a restaurant locator tool on its website you can use to find your nearest one - and check what time it opens.

After that, the menu switches to the normal menu serving meals such as burgers, chicken nuggets and more.
