In honor of the McRib’s return, McDonald’s is offering customers an exclusive experience this holiday season. 

McDonald’s brought back the McRib nationwide on Tuesday, December 3. To celebrate its anticipated return, McDonald’s has created a unique experience for customers.

Some of these include ‘Deck the Buns,’ ‘O McRib Sauce,’ and ‘We Wish You a Tasty McRib.’

Singer-songwriter Garcia, who will be entertaining fans on the bus, will also be offering McDonald’s fans a chance to join in on the cheer by connecting through her TikTok (ylonagarcia).

Though the McDonald’s McRib was added to their menu in 1981, it came and went for decades until it was eighty-sixed in 2022.

After plenty of customers demanded its return, McDonald’s added the McRib back to menus in the UK. And now, the US. “The McRib is more than a sandwich — it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s.
