The collection features all of your favorite childhood McDonald's characters like Grimace and The Hamburglar, along with McDonald's corporate colors on jackets, sweatshirts, joggers, t-shirts, tote bags, toques, keychains, and lapel pins that evoke nostalgia.

McDonald's has also announced that a portion of the proceeds from sales of the merch collection will go towards the Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada to help families live together with their sick children in a hospital in Canada. The collection's stock will be limited and will be available for purchase until May 11, 2022.
