Happy Meals are a firm favourite with many kids(Image: PA)
McDonald’s Happy Meals are a favourite with many young diners, and boxes usually feature an iconic red and yellow design. However, a new shakeup – aimed at kids aged 4-11 – has now been confirmed, in “celebration” of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film that was released recently in the UK.
Happy Meal boxes will now feature a “bespoke” Sonic 3 look – and what’s inside will be different too. There are nine new “premium toys” available in the boxes, said to “encourage children aged 4-11 to be ambitious and bring out the best in each other, inspired by their favourite Sonic 3 characters”.
The move comes after McDonald’s also recently launched a number of new menu items – and today, Wednesday, January 15, diners can get their hands on popular wrap for the reduced price of £1.99. The Chicken Katsu wrap, which first appeared on menus earlier this month, is on offer every Wednesday.
Other new menu items include the new BBQ Ranch Stack and the Milky Way McFlurry, and old favourites such as the McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse and Mozzarella Dippers are also now available. The Chicken Katsu One includes either crispy or grilled chicken in katsu sauce, with onions, cucumber, and lettuce inside a toasted tortilla.
A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “Customers can experience the thrill of speed and strength in a super-sonic adventure at McDonald’s alongside Sonic 3 characters. Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and Shadow will take customers on a journey through speed and reveal a range of fun and exciting activities for the whole family. If that’s not enough, customers can visit the McDonald’s Family Hub for a range of Super-Sonic activity sheets and those dining in restaurants can make the most of Sonic 3 themed board games and flags.”
