McDonald's Brings Back Its KitKat McFlurry for a Limited Time

— February 11, 2020 — Marketing
The KitKat McFlurry was a beloved limited-edition item at McDonald's Japan that was first launched in 2007 and made regular appearances until 2013. Now, the fast-food establishment is releasing this highly beloved chocolate-and-biscuit pairing once again to delight its consumers. The hybrid will not only drive interest thanks to its mix of flavors and the popularity of both brands, but it will also create a hype since it hasn't been made available for so long.

The KitKat McFlurry will make another run across McDonald's branches in Japan from February 12th until early March and it will feature a co-branded cup. The two brands announced the release with a campaign and a commercial featuring Japanese idol Moe Kamikokuryo and actor Takayuki Hamatsu.
