When it comes to a trip to McDonald's there are some menu items that we think of often. Whether it is their French fries, a Big Mac or even the apple pie, there are some menu items at McDonald's that are pretty iconic. And during the holiday season for the last 25 years, there has been an addition to the menu that is an icon in its own right.
The Holiday Pie from McDonald's has been a seasonal favorite since 1999 and it is once again hitting the menus for the holiday season. Sadly, it seems that it will be a bit hard to find for some of us, as it will only be available in select cities.
Major cities that have been confirmed to be selling the Holiday Pie include New York City, Dallas, Texas, Memphis, Tennessee and Los Angeles, California to name a few. However, according to USA Today, a spokesperson for McDonald's did recommend checking out their mobile app to see if your local restaurant is carrying the Holiday Pie this year.
The Holiday Pie is back at McDonald's for a limited time and in limited locations
Honestly, even though the Holiday Pie has been showing up at McDonald's locations during the holiday season for the last 25 years, I have yet to get my hands on one of these sweet treats. While I love their classic apple pie and the strawberry & crème pie was a win whenever they had it, it would be interesting to try this seasonal favorite.
For anyone who is unfamiliar with the Holiday Pie, McDonald's describes this treat as a "creamy, smooth custard nestled in a flaky, buttery crust, glazed with sugar and topped with rainbow sprinkles." In a lot of ways, it doesn't feel like the kind of pie we expect for the holiday season and yet it works.
We don't know about you, but we are happy to see this one returning to menus for the holidays. And here's hoping we get lucky enough to try this one for ourselves.
