Fancy giving these items a go? You'll need to be quick as they're only sticking around for six weeks until January 3.<\/p>\n

The new Big and Cheesy burger is made up of a large 100% beef patty, two slices of\u00a0cheese, red onions, and crispy onions.<\/p>\n

It's all topped in a cheese sauce and sandwiched between a toasted flour-dusted bun.<\/p>\n

You can buy the burger on its own for \u00a35.49 or \u00a37.29 as a meal with a side and a drink.<\/p>\n

If you're looking to take it up a notch though, why not give the Big and Cheesy with bacon a go to.<\/p>\n

Fans can grab it for \u00a36.29 by itself or \u00a38.09 as a meal.<\/p>\n

Coming back for a\u00a0third time is the sell-out Chicken Big Mac\u00a0which has proven a huge hit with fans since it first debuted in 2022.<\/p>\n

It's a twist on the classic Maccies Big Mac with its triple-layered bun, two chicken patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce, pickles – and of course the\u00a0Big Mac\u00a0sauce.<\/p>\n

The burger costs \u00a34.79 for a single and \u00a36.59 for a meal.<\/p>\n

Back again for the festive season are the popular Cheese Melt Dippers, made with Camembert and served with a rich tomato dip.<\/p>\n

You get four in a pack for \u00a32.59 or \u00a36.89 for a Sharebox of 15.<\/p>\n

Not only that but the McDonald\u2019s Chicken Combo is also hitting restaurants for the first time.<\/p>\n

This festive feast was launched on delivery platforms earlier this month and includes 10 Chicken Selects and a 20 Chicken McNuggets Sharebox.<\/p>\n

For those of you with a sweet tooth, there are three sweet treats to choose from this festive season.<\/p>\n

Fans of the\u00a0axed Chocolate Pie\u00a0and Toffee Apple Pie\u00a0will no doubt be excited to give the new Galaxy Caramel Pie a go.<\/p>\n

It's a Galaxy-flavoured caramel sauce encased in a crispy chocolate pastry and costs \u00a31.99.<\/p>\n

There are two new Galaxy McFlurrys as well, one swirled with chocolate sauce and one with caramel, and both are topped with Galaxy stars.<\/p>\n

Both cost \u00a31.49 for a mini-size and \u00a31.99 for a regular.<\/p>\n

Fans have taken to social media reacting to the new menu. <\/p>\n

Another said: "Cheese Melt Dippers. I\u2019ve waited allll year! Woop."<\/p>\n
