McDonald’s just added 8 new items to UK menu — including Friends ‘adult Happy Meal’

Every six weeks, McDonald’s changes up its menu in the UK, adding something new or bringing back a discontinued favourite.

These changes can get a bit confusing, so we’ve created this mega list to keep track of everything on the menu, and we’ll be continuously updating it throughout the year to show what’s in and what’s out.

January saw an exciting start to the year for Maccies with the chain’s ‘secret menu’ launch, which turned menu hacks that fans have tried and loved over the year into a reality, with a new Surf N’ Turf burger, a Chicken Cheeseburger, an Espresso Milkshake, and an Apple Pie Mini McFlurry.

But from February 3, the menu is getting shaken up again, with the introduction of a brand new Friends meal, inspired by the iconic 90s sitcom, new wraps, and some decadent desserts.

Here’s everything you need to know…

Everything that’s new and returning to McDonald’s UK menu in February 2026

Friends Meal

McDonald’s is finally launching the ultimate adult Happy Meal for 90s kids, with this Warner Bros collab.

The brand new meal features either a Big Mac, McPlant or 9-piece McNuggets, fries, and a drink, but the pièce de résistance is that the meal comes with a collectable toy based on your favourite characters, with limited-edition figurines of Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross to collect.

Prices for the meal start from £9.09 for a medium Big Mac or McPlant meal, and rise to £9.19 for a 9-piece medium Chicken McNugget meal.

For those who want large meals, it’s going to cost £9.99 for the Big Mac and McPlant and £10.09 for the McNuggets.

Monica’s Marinara Sauce

Created especially for the Friends collab, this sauce is described as being a ‘tomato marinara sauce that’s savoury and herby’, and traditionally, marinara sauce is made with tomato, garlic, herbs and onions.

Tikka Chicken Wrap

McDonald’s is introducing a brand new Tikka Chicken Wrap, which promises ‘big flavour’.

Customers can choose either crispy or grilled chicken, and this is paired with a tikka mayo, mango and lime chutney, onions, lettuce and cucumber, all wrapped in a soft toasted tortilla.

The chain says it’s a ‘punchy’ wrap designed to ‘deliver all the taste without the mess’ and claims it’s ‘perfect for busy days, commutes and quick breaks between plans’.

The wrap costs £3.79 on its own, £6.09 as part of a medium meal, or just £2.49 as part of the Wrap of the Day deal on Wednesday and Sunday.

Philly Cheese Stack

This burger is making a comeback, stacked high with two beef patties, cheese sauce, cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions and pickles, all served in a toasted bun.

Priced at £6.69, it’s previously been hailed by some as ‘sensational’ and the ‘best burger ever’ at McDonald’s, but others have taken to Reddit to claim it’s ‘boring’ and they’re ‘disappointed’ to see it making yet another comeback, as it’s not been that long since it was on the menu, as it was available until November last year.

Pizza Mozzarella Dippers

A fun twist on McDonald’s classic mozzarella dippers, these new cheesy treats feature a pizza-style flavoured mozzarella, coated in crispy breadcrumbs and served with Monica’s Marinara Sauce.

Available from: February 3

Milkybar Crispy Cookie McFlurry

This new £2.59 dessert sees soft ice cream topped with white chocolate-coated crispy balls and a cookie-flavour chocolate sauce. 

Available from: February 3

Brownie Pie

A new pie for chocolate lovers, this one has a ‘gooey’ chocolate brownie filling wrapped inside crisp pastry and costs £2.49.

Available from: February 3

Doughnut Crumble Latte

For this brand new £2.99 drink, doughnut-flavour syrup is added to a latte, then topped with cream and a sprinkle of doughnut crumb.

Available from: February 3

Munchies Vanilla Cheesecake McFlurry

There’s also a new Munchies Vanilla Cheesecake McFlurry (£2.59), which combines ice cream and chocolate-coated biscuit balls with a vanilla cheesecake-flavoured sauce.

Everything that’s new and returning to McDonald’s UK menu in January 2026

Chicken Big Mac

The chicken version of the classic, which features two patties, a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce and Big Mac sauce, will be back on McDonald’s menus everywhere for £5.59 on its own or £7.39 as part of a medium meal.

Available from: January 5, 2026 (staying on the menu in February)

Surf N’ Turf

This new item is one for those who struggle to pick between a Cheeseburger and a Filet-O-Fish when they order a McDonald’s. Now you don’t have to choose, as this combo features two British & Irish beef patties, a crispy white Alaskan Pollock fish fillet patty, cheese, onions, pickles, mustard, and a dollop of ketchup, all in a bun. 

The burger costs £4.39 on its own or £6.89 as part of a medium meal.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Chicken Cheeseburger

Similarly, those torn between chicken or beef won’t have to make any tough decisions, as this creation is the best of both worlds. This one sees a beef patty topped with a crispy coated chicken patty, layered with a slice of cheese, onions, mustard, and ketchup. 

The burger is £3.89 on its own, or £6.39 as part of a medium meal.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Apple Pie Mini McFlurry

This new dessert (£2.99) sees two classic items served together, but separately. You get a mini pot of soft dairy ice cream swirled with caramel sauce, paired with a warm Apple Pie that you can dip into it. Alternatively, you can tear up the pie and load it up on top of your McFlurry.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Espresso Milkshake

The final new item combines vanilla milkshake with a shot of espresso for £3.69. The two are served side by side, so you can pour as much (or as little) of the coffee as you like into the drink and give it a good stir.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Big Arch

This beast of a burger is said to bring ‘maximum McDonald’s flavour’ and is even bigger and wider in size than the iconic Big Mac, featuring not one but two Quarter Pounder beef patties.

Signature Big Arch sauce is squeezed over the top and bottom halves of a new toasted sesame and poppy seed bun, which is then loaded with crispy onions on one side and slivered raw onions on the other, before shredded lettuce and pickles are added too.

A slice of white cheddar and a Quarter Pounder patty is placed on each half, with one side being topped with a third and final slice of cheese. This sandwiches nicely between the two beef patties as the box is closed, and the two sides of the burger come together to create the Big Arch.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Chilli Cheese Bites

Cheese lovers can get a spicy chilli side, in a crispy batter, served with a rich tomato dip. One portion contains four bites.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Big Mac Sauce Pot

The iconic sauce is going to be available in a pot for the first time ever, so fans of it can dunk fries or McNuggets into it too and it’s only 20p per pot.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

The Fajita Chicken One

The popular wrap is back, featuring a creamy fajita sauce, tomato salsa, onions, cheese, lettuce and either crispy or grilled chicken.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2

Galaxy Smooth Caramel McFlurry

Soft dairy ice cream is swirled with Galaxy Chocolate drops and topped with a Galaxy Caramel sauce to create this sweet treat.

Available from: January 5, 2026 until February 2
