McDonald's Canada and Shania Twain collaborated to introduce Shania's Sides, featuring fun ways to enhance meals with favorite flavors and plenty of style.
While All Dressed McShaker Fries offer a new way to savor 100% Canadian potatoes with a Canadian-favorite seasoning, the Strawberry Pie shares a sweet way to cap off a meal with real strawberry pieces in a warm, flaky golden brown crust. At a time when keychains are in high demand as both practical everyday accessories and popular collectibles, this special partnership also includes a limited-edition Cowboy Boot Keychain (available with the purchase of an Extra Value Meal, while supplies last) that's ready to clip to a bag, add to keys or add charm to other accessories.
Shania's Sides, exclusively at participating McDonald's restaurants across Canada, are available in-restaurant, via the McDonald's app and McDelivery.
