For those who are still feeling a little festive, McDonald's is offering is seasonal Holiday Pie for the rest of 2016. Designed as a cross between a sugar cookie and a turnover, these snack-sized pastries are the perfect way to enjoy one last holiday dessert before the new year.
The Holiday Pie is a limited-edition version of McDonald's signature fruit turnover. The dish consists of a baked, sugar cookie-like crust embedded with rainbow nonpareils. On the inside, the pie is filled with a creamy vanilla custard, which provides a nice contrast to the flaky exterior.
For an extra festive touch, customers can also order the seasonal Egg Nog Shake, which is a sweet vanilla shake mixed with egg nog syrup to create an indulgently creamy concoction.
