McDonald’s is getting into the holiday spirit with the return of a popular dessert that has been a seasonal favorite for years. The McDonald’s Holiday Pie is back at select locations starting Friday, Nov. 15, 2024. Available while supplies last, this iconic pie will be joining the chain's regular Apple Pie on the menu, giving dessert lovers even more options to enjoy during the festive season.
The Holiday Pie was first introduced in 1999, and since then, it has become a beloved holiday treat. For many, the pie’s arrival marks the start of the festive season, and its return always sparks excitement among McDonald’s customers. The pie features a creamy, smooth custard filling, nestled in a flaky, buttery crust. It’s then glazed with sugar and topped with colorful rainbow sprinkles, adding both a festive touch and a burst of sweetness. At 260 calories, it's a decadent treat that pairs well with a McDonald's coffee or milkshake.
The Holiday Pie will be available in a select number of cities, including Seattle, Washington; Los Angeles, California; St. Louis, Missouri; New York City, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Memphis, Tennessee; and Dallas, Texas. While these cities are confirmed to be offering the pie, McDonald’s encourages customers to check the McDonald’s app to see if the dessert is available at a location near them.
The excitement for the return of this holiday pie has already sparked reactions on social media. Even before the official launch date, some McDonald’s locations have already started selling the pies, prompting fans to share their joy. A TikTok account named Jas and Kam Food Reviews, based in Greensboro, North Carolina, posted a video showing their excitement about the pie's return. One user in the video said the custard filling reminded them of a confetti cookie, a sentiment many holiday pie fans can relate to.
Another TikTok account, Bootleg Food Review, also shared their enthusiasm for the return of the Holiday Pie. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the account’s user, Jaysyn, posted a video calling the pie the "most perfect pie" McDonald’s has ever made. He gave the pie a perfect rating of 10 out of 10, adding, "Happy holidays!" Such positive reactions show how much people love this annual treat.
Though the pie has made its return, it’s available only for a limited time, so customers will need to act fast to enjoy it before it’s gone. This pie’s holiday-themed flavors, combined with its festive appearance, make it a popular seasonal dessert. Fans of McDonald’s pies will want to check local locations and the McDonald’s app to catch it while it’s available.
With the holiday season just around the corner, McDonald’s has given fans something extra to look forward to. Whether you’re enjoying the pie by yourself or sharing it with loved ones, the Holiday Pie brings a sweet, joyful touch to any occasion.
