McDonald's Launches Cadbury Easter Range with Mini Egg Delights
Prepare to bid farewell to the Friends Meal at McDonald's as the fast-food giant prepares to refresh its UK menu with seasonal offerings. Every six weeks, McDonald's rotates its limited-edition items, and the March 2026 lineup promises exciting new additions alongside returning fan favorites.
New Cadbury Easter Creations
From March 17, 2026, McDonald's will introduce two brand-new products featuring Cadbury Mini Eggs. The Cadbury Mini Eggs Frappe (£3.89) combines a chocolate Frappe base with finely crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, topped with cream and additional crushed eggs. Initially, this item will be available exclusively through the McDonald's app, with general availability in restaurants starting March 24. McDonald's emphasizes that supplies are limited, urging customers to act quickly.
Additionally, the Cadbury Mini Eggs McFlurry (£2.59 regular, £1.89 mini) features soft dairy ice cream swirled with crushed Mini Eggs and Cadbury chocolate sauce. This dessert offers a nostalgic Easter experience, with the Mini Eggs maintaining a pleasant texture without becoming overly hard in the cold ice cream.
Returning Favorites
The Cadbury Easter range is complemented by the return of the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry (£2.59 regular, £1.89 mini), which blends ice cream with Cadbury chocolate shards and Creme Egg sauce. For savory options, Spicy McNuggets make a comeback, featuring a jalapeño chili coating and served with Spicy Chilli Dip. Available in six-piece, nine-piece, or 20-piece sharebox sizes, prices start from £7.29 for a six-piece everyday value meal.
Moreover, the Double Big Mac and Double Big Mac with Bacon return to the menu. The classic version includes four British & Irish beef patties, cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles, and Big Mac sauce, priced at £8.59 for an everyday value meal. Adding bacon increases the cost to £9.49 for extra smoky flavor.
Taste Test Insights
An exclusive early tasting at McDonald's HQ in East Finchley provided insights into the new Cadbury Mini Egg items. The Cadbury Mini Eggs McFlurry, while visually unappealing, delivers a nostalgic flavor combination that evokes childhood Easter memories. The Mini Eggs are appropriately soft, avoiding the hardness issues seen in previous McFlurry toppings.
The Cadbury Mini Eggs Frappe presents an aesthetically pleasing drink with pink and yellow Mini Egg dust contrasting against whipped cream. Its flavor resembles a Nesquik chocolate milkshake, though the texture is slightly grainy due to the crushed Mini Eggs. This may not suit those preferring smooth beverages, but it offers a unique experience for Mini Egg enthusiasts.
Overall, these additions provide a festive twist to McDonald's menu, blending classic Cadbury flavors with innovative fast-food creations. Customers are encouraged to try these limited-time offerings before they disappear from the menu.
