McDonald’s has just announced a brand new summer menu, and it features a football-themed burger called ‘The Hat Trick’.
The menu will be available for a limited time across the UK, launching on May 29 ahead of the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
New ‘Hat Trick’ burger at McDonald’s
“It’s official, the summer of sport is coming, and you can score a win with our NEW burger – The Hat Trick,” McDonald’s said in a press release.
The burger has a subtle football nod with its name, as a hat trick is when a player scores three times in the same game. Keeping with the theme, it has three 100% beef patties because “scoring once just isn’t enough”.
It’s complete with two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and ketchup all inside a glazed sesame seed bun. The burger will be priced at £5.89 on its own or £7.69 for a Medium Meal, although prices may vary.
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has launched a burger called The Hat Trick. The chain offered a similar one in 1994 to celebrate the FIFA World Cup in the United States. It was a supersized cheeseburger with three patties and two slices of cheese.
McDonald’s Summer Menu 2024
The rest of the summer menu is all about sharing, encouraging fast food fans to share a meal with friends before the big games.
You’ll be pleased to hear the McDonald’s Sharebox is returning, which includes six Chicken Selects, 12 Chicken McNuggets. It costs £10.59 and comes with your choice of two McNuggets dips and two Selects dips, which includes a new and improved Garlic Mayo and Sweet and Smoky BBQ.
An £8.49 Chicken Selects Sharebox is launching too, which includes nine of the chicken strips and three dips. Plus, Mozzarella Bites are coming back, with a warm and gooey cheese centre encased in a golden crispy coating, served with a rich tomato dip.
With the new menu arriving in just a few weeks, it’s almost time to say goodbye to the Chicken Big Mac, Quarter Pounder Deluxe, Biscoff McFlurry, Biscoff Frappé, Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry, Galaxy Caramel Pie and Cheese & Herb Bites.
New desserts are coming too
If you’re still hungry after that, a new Skittles McFlurry is arriving for the summer, soft dairy ice cream swirled with chewy Skittles fudge pieces and sugary pearls and topped with purple Skittles-flavoured sauce.
If you prefer a hot dessert, the new Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie will be right up your street, a delicious combination of smooth chocolate ganache and raspberry compote encased in a crispy chocolate pastry.
Two old favorites are returning too, including the much-loved Iced Latte which is a permanent addition. The Galaxy Caramel McFlurry is also making a comeback, soft dairy ice cream swirled with Galaxy Chocolate pieces and topped with Galaxy Caramel Chocolate sauce.
