McDonald’s Brand-New Meal Has Fans Running to the Drive-Thru

A fan-fave collab is back at the Golden Arches.

If there's one thing you can count on it in the food world it's McDonald's making headlines time and time again. It seems the Golden Arches can't help but make waves in the fast food world every few weeks. Though fall has only just started, the chain has been on everyone's lips with the introduction of its biggest burger yet, some fan-favorite menu items back in restaurants, the newly-extended $5 value meal, and even a can't-miss 50-cent burger deal. While that was a mouthful, don't take a breath just yet—McDonald's has a brand-new meal that will have you running to grab your car keys to hit the drive-thru.

McDonald's Introduces New Crocs Happy Meal

Happy Meals have a long and storied history, but one thing has stayed consistent since their inception in the '70s: Happy Meal toys always go viral. From the Squishmallows toys that fans begged McDonald's to bring to the U.S. to the "Adult Happy Meal" toys, which reportedly resold for as much as $300,000 back in 2022, Happy Meals and their accompanying add-ons often become collector's items.

And while we're still trying to get our hands on all the Collector's Cups that the chain released in early August, McDonald's is poised to break the Internet (and eBay) again with a brand-new set of Happy Meal toys.

According to McDonald's website, each Crocs Happy Meal will feature one of eight exclusive Crocs clips. The Crocs clip will come in its own Happy Meal shoe box with a special sticker sheet mimicking Crocs' Jibbitz so you can customize your mini Crocs shoe. And while the Crocs clips are sure to be popular with kids (especially for decorating their new backpacks), we wouldn't be surprised if you also see adults fighting for these toys in drive-thru lines and on resale sites like eBay.

Notably, this not the two brands' first time collaborating; Last fall, Crocs released a collection of McDonald's-themed shoes (that we loved) with four designs featuring McDonaldland characters and even special menu item Jibbitz.

And apparently, the Crocs clips are not exactly new, either. Some social media sleuths discovered they've been released in international McDonald's restaurants before with 10 different designs, but the U.S. restaurants will only be getting eight. Hey—when Mickey D's brings any international items stateside, we consider that a win.

The Crocs Happy Meals hit participating McDonald's locations nationwide starting Sept. 17, but they're only around while supplies last. So, if history has taught us anything you're going to want to put your Crocs in "sport mode" and quite literally run to your nearest McDonald's if you want to get your hands on these limited-edition toys.
