After a long hiatus, McDonald's has brought back its Matchmaker McFlurry for the 2019 Christmas season. The only catch is that it's exclusive to McDonald's UK locations.
For those unfamiliar, Matchmakers are little mint chocolates sold under Nestle's Quality Street brand. Back in 2013, McDonald's created a McFlurry with the minty treats just for the holidays. Now that same McFlurry flavor is back and better than ever.
Set to return on November 20th, the Matchmaker McFlurry will combine McDonald's signature vanilla soft serve ice cream with Mint Matchmaker pieces, and a cool mint chocolate sauce. The McFlurry will be available in both regular and mini sizes so you can enjoy as much of the dessert as you like.
