McDonald's UK has introduced its first-ever collaboration with Crocs, replacing the World Cup Squishmallows in Happy Meals. The new promotion, available from August 4, 2026, features 12 pre-selected Crocs mini character clip keyrings, each packaged in its own tiny shoe box. While the iconic red box does not contain actual shoes or charms, the collectibles have sparked excitement among Brits on social media.
What's Inside the Crocs Happy Meal?
Each Happy Meal includes one of 12 Crocs mini character clip keyrings, designed as miniature versions of the popular footwear. The keyrings are tucked inside individual mini shoe boxes, adding to the novelty. For those who prefer not to collect the keyrings, a book option is available—this month's selection is Rob Biddulph's Gigantic. Additionally, activity packs and sheets will be available in restaurants during the promotion, and an interactive 'Style your Crocs' game can be accessed at happymeal.com.
Pricing and Availability
Happy Meals start at £4.39, though prices may vary by restaurant. Customers can choose from Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Mayo Chicken, McFish, or Chicken McNuggets, served with a fruit or vegetable bag side and a selected small cold drink. McDonald's app users can purchase Happy Meals for £2.99 throughout August, with a limit of one redemption per customer per day, up to four Happy Meals per redemption. This offer excludes McDelivery.
Social Media Reaction
On social media, Crocs fans have expressed delight, with many calling the collaboration 'heaven' and saying they 'can't believe it's real.' Gaz Hohnston commented on Facebook, 'We need to go every night to collect them all.' Sarah Scott wrote, 'I need these in my life, how cute,' while Kirsty Jones admitted she was 'buzzin' for the keyrings. Rheanne Pearl added, 'I am soooo excited for this.'
However, not all feedback was positive. Some customers were disappointed that all keyrings are for the right foot, preventing the creation of a proper pair. Others questioned why the meals didn't include actual shoes or shoe charms, which they considered more useful.
Limited-Time Offer
The Crocs Happy Meals are available at McDonald's restaurants across the UK and Ireland from August 4, 2026, for a limited time while stocks last. The promotion replaces the previous World Cup Squishmallows, marking a significant shift in the chain's collectible strategy.
