Halloween 2026 is just days away — 31 October falls on a Saturday this year — and McDonald’s UK has gone all-in on spooky season. Alongside the Halloween Happy Meal toys, restaurants are serving a dedicated autumn menu: three brand-new items, a returning chicken burger, and a line-up of seasonal desserts.
Here’s everything on the McDonald’s UK Halloween 2026 menu, what it costs, and how long you’ve got to try it.
Prices are approximate and vary by restaurant.
What’s new for Halloween 2026
McDonald’s UK confirmed three brand-new items for the spooky season:
Cheese Bites — a portion of five Mozzarella and Emmental bites in a smoky caramelised onion flavoured breadcrumb coating, served with a BBQ dip. Also available as a Sharebox, which McDonald’s is pitching as the ideal Halloween party side.
Toasted Marshmallow Latte — a smooth latte blended with toasted marshmallow flavoured syrup, topped with whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow flavoured dusting. The cosiest drink on the menu this October.
Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate — the sweeter option for non-coffee drinkers. Note: it’s only available in large.
Mini Hash Browns are also part of the seasonal line-up — the classic hash brown in miniature, available as a single portion of five or as a sharebox of fifteen.
Returning seasonal favourites
Back by popular demand for the Halloween season:
- McCrispy Deluxe — a 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating, topped with hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion compote, seasonal lettuce, bacon, red onions and a cheddar cheese slice, packed into a sourdough-style bun.
- Halloween M&M’s McFlurry — soft dairy ice cream swirled with M&M’s and Halloween sugar shapes, topped with Galaxy chocolate sauce.
- Galaxy Caramel McFlurry — soft serve swirled with Galaxy chocolate pieces and topped with a Galaxy caramel sauce.
- Toffee Apple Pie — crispy pastry filled with spiced apple compote, toffee sauce and toffee pieces. It debuted last autumn and is back for a second run.

Spooky Sauces: the 2026 Halloween campaign
This year’s Halloween isn’t just about the menu. McDonald’s UK has launched a Spooky Sauces campaign, giving its iconic dips a Halloween makeover — Tomb-Mato Ketchup and Boo-Boo-Q — styled as spooky face paints. The brand is inviting fans to share their own “Maccies looks” made from sauce smears on social media, with McDonald’s reposting the best ones.
Whether you’re dipping fries or nuggets, the idea is to turn the usual post-nugget mess into something properly frightening. It’s marketing, not a menu item — but it’s a fun reason to order extra dips this Halloween.
When does the Halloween menu end?
McDonald’s hasn’t confirmed official end dates for the Halloween range. Looking at the pattern: last year’s autumn menu ran for six weeks, coming off the menu on 21 November. The Christmas menu typically lands in late November, so the Halloween items are expected to leave around mid-to-late November to make way for the festive range.
The safest assumption: the Halloween menu will be gone by the time the Christmas menu arrives. If there’s something you want to try — especially the Cheese Bites and the Toasted Marshmallow drinks — don’t leave it until the last weekend. Limited-time items can also sell out at individual restaurants before the official end date.
Is McDonald’s open on Halloween 2026?
Yes. Halloween (Saturday 31 October 2026) is not a UK bank holiday, so McDonald’s restaurants open normal hours — drive-thru, dine-in and McDelivery all run as usual. Perfect if you need to fuel up between trick-or-treat rounds.
Halloween Happy Meal 2026
Kids get their own spooky-season treat: the current Happy Meal includes Halloween-themed Build-A-Bear bag clips — a pumpkin teddy, a Frankenstein axolotl, a black cat and a bat among 12 designs. See our full McDonald’s Halloween 2026 guide for the toys, opening hours and whether the UK gets the famous US Boo Buckets.
