McDonald’s unveils new limited-edition items including breakfast treats and ‘delicious’ axed favourite

If your favourite McDonald’s item was previously axed, we might have some good news for you. 

The fast food chain has just unveiled its next limited-edition line-up, and several discontinued products are making a comeback.

There will also be some brand new creations joining the menu, including new Sprite Zero Mixology flavours. 

Customers can expect to see changes hitting restaurants and drive-thrus from April 27, across everything from breakfast and burgers, to drinks and even desserts.

What’s returning to the McDonald’s UK menu on April 27?

McDonald’s is turning up the heat at breakfast time, launching a Frank’s RedHot Ketchup, which they describe as a ‘sweet, tangy number’ with ‘spice’.

To mark the launch, there’s going to be a new Franks RedHot breakfast range, featuring a Sausage & Egg McMuffin x Frank’s RedHot Ketchup, which will be available as either a Single or a Double McMuffin.

Plus, there will be a fiery version of the Breakfast Wrap with the ketchup inside.

If you’re more of a burger lover, you might be pleased to hear the Big Tasty and the Double Big Tasty are also returning.

The Big Tasty was last seen on the McDonald’s menu at Christmas, when the chain confirmed they’d made a major change to it, upgrading the burger patty to a quarter-pounder size for the first time since 2003. 

The iconic burger, which some claim is the ‘best by far’, now features a 100% British & Irish quarter pounder beef patty, cheese slices, lettuce, onions, juicy tomato and a unique smoky flavoured sauce, in a freshly toasted sesame topped bun.

And the final savoury item is a cheesy one, as the Mozzarella Dippers are going to be available once more, paired with a salsa dip.

Those with a sweet tooth are in for a treat, too, as the Biscoff McFlurry is back after one year away. This has a classic dairy soft serve base, swirled with a Biscoff biscuit crumb. 

It’s being joined on the menu by the classic Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry too, covered in chocolate pieces and a chocolate sauce. 

If that weren’t enough, 2025’s ‘drink of the summer’ is also back for another round in 2026.  

The Frozen Cherry Lemonade, which went viral on TikTok last summer, combines ‘tangy’ frozen lemonade with a ‘deliciously sweet’ cherry-flavoured swirl.

And last, but not least, there’s the Chocolate Honeycomb Frappe, topped with cream and honeycomb pieces.

What’s new on the McDonald’s menu? 

There are no new food items this time around (unless you count the Frank’s RedHot Ketchup), but there are two new drinks.

McDonald’s is introducing two new Sprite Zero Mixology drinks: Raspberry x Sprite Zero and Pineapple x Sprite Zero.

Each drink sees Sprite Zero mixed with a sugar-free fruit-flavoured syrup.

What’s leaving the menu?

The limited-edition items at Maccies change every six weeks.

So, when this new bunch is ushered in on April 27, the current ones will disappear.

This includes the McGriddles, Cards Meals, the Double Big Mac and Double Big Mac with Bacon, plus the Easter range with the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry, Mini Egg McFlurry and the Mini Egg Frappe.

If you want to try any of the above before it leaves the menu, you’ll need to do so by April 26.
