McDonald’s is giving the gift of nugget for the holidays.
On Dec. 17, the Golden Arches dropped another deal: 10 Chicken McNuggets for $1, which customers can redeem once a week in its app until Dec. 30 — thus, there are multiple opportunities to treat yourself to some low-cost nugs before the ball drops for the new year.
If the deal sounds familiar, the same one ran from Nov. 4 until Dec. 2, as part of McDonald’s “Season of Savings” — and now it’s back.
McDonald’s has put value (with a capital “V”) at the center of its offerings this year, starting with the debut of its $5 meal deal in May. Then, in November, it announced its new McValue menu, which drops in U.S. restaurants on Jan. 7, 2025 and includes its meal deal, a new “Buy One, Add One for $1” offer and local deals.
The chain also has announced the return of two anticipated items: The limited-time McRib is back on menus — along with a half-gallon jug of its sauce — and the fan-favorite Snack Wrap will be back sometime in 2025, according to president of McDonald’s USA, Joe Erlinger.
McDonald’s is not the only fast-food spot making nugget news: Taco Bell is adding Crispy Chicken Nuggets, along with three new dipping sauces, to its nationwide menu on Dec. 19 for a limited time, while supplies last.
The Tex Mex-inspired nuggets feature all-white meat chicken bites marinated in “jalapeño buttermilk flavor” and coated with a blend of breadcrumbs and tortilla chips. Customers can dip them into their choice of three new sauces: Jalapeño Honey Mustard, Bell Sauce or Hidden Valley Fire Ranch Sauce.
