It's not even November yet, but McDonald's is already getting into the holiday spirit.
Starting Nov. 3, five new drinks are hitting participating McDonald's locations nationwide, with cranberry flavors, cookie butter and lots of cold foam. Let's take a look at what's coming to the menu.
First up is the Frosted Cranberry Splash with Sprite, which combines Sprite with orange and cranberry flavors, cold foam and cranberry sprinkles. It's fruity, fizzy and very much in the holiday drink family. This one is geared to the kind of person who starts craving cranberry everything this time of year.
Then there's the Red Bull Frosted Cranberry Energizer, which takes that cranberry flavor and adds cold foam, sprinkles and, naturally, Red Bull. Since this time of year is packed with activities, McDonald's says that this Red Bull-infused option is "made for packed holiday schedules and festive adventures." It's available with classic Red Bull or Red Bull Zero.
Finally, there's something for the cookie lovers, with the Cookie Butter Frappé, Cookie Butter Latte and Cookie Butter Iced Coffee. The drinks feature cookie butter flavor, caramel cookie crumbs and sweet vanilla whip. Basically, McDonald's is giving you another excuse to call your coffee a sweet treat.
Of course, whenever restaurants roll out festive menu additions, they don't stick around forever, which is part of the appeal. In that tradition, the new lineup is only available for a limited time during the holidays, so you'll have to catch these drinks while they're around. These are also only available at participating restaurants, so check your local restaurant for full details.
The announcement comes on the heels of McDonald’s bringing back its beloved Boo Buckets on Oct. 20 for the spooky season. This year’s collection features five Disney villains: Jafar, Ursula, Scar, Cruella and Maleficent. Each one gets its own collectible design.
