As Thanksgiving nears, we’re not only thinking about home-cooked feasts but also getting excited about seasonal treats popping up at our favorite restaurants.
While Arby’s and Firehouse Subs have brought back turkey-themed items, McDonald’s is diving into the holiday spirit with something extra special. Alongside the return of their famous Holiday Pie, McDonald’s is rolling out a brand-new Happy Meal that’s all about the joy of giving.
The Pet Simulator Happy Meal
In a fresh and fun partnership, McDonald’s is partnering with Pet Simulator, a top online game on Roblox, to excite its Happy Meal lineup.
Since its 2018 launch, Pet Simulator has captivated players with a simple but addictive concept: collecting coins and gems to hatch virtual pets.
McDonald’s is taking that excitement offline, offering fans the chance to build their own Pet Simulator-inspired collection through the new Happy Meal, starting November 26.
The best part? This Happy Meal includes two Pet Simulator toys instead of just one. McDonald’s wants to encourage kids (and adults) to embrace the holiday spirit by sharing—whether with a friend, family member, or even a new acquaintance.
Each toy is pre-wrapped and ready to gift, making it a perfect way to spread joy.
What’s in the Pet Simulator Happy Meal?
Each Happy Meal includes:
- A Pet Simulator-themed toy: There are 18 different collectible toys, so there’s a wide variety. And it’s not just about collecting—the toys come with sticker packs so kids can personalize them, making each toy even more special.
- Two toys instead of one: You’ll get an extra toy to give to someone else. McDonald’s believes in the power of sharing, and this holiday season, they’re making it easy to spread kindness.
- Available with any Happy Meal menu option: Whether you’re a fan of hamburgers, four-count McNuggets, or six-count McNuggets, every Happy Meal will include the Pet Simulator toy set.
The Pet Simulator toys will be available nationwide until December 16 or while supplies last. So, if you’re a Pet Simulator fan or a Happy Meal enthusiast, grab one quickly!
Why McDonald’s Launched the Pet Simulator Happy Meal
Jennifer “JJ” Healan, McDonald’s Vice President of U.S. Marketing, says this Happy Meal aims to inspire kids to embrace the spirit of giving. “Sharing is a big part of McDonald’s ethos—whether it’s sharing your fries, McNuggets, or McFlurry.
Now, we’re allowing our youngest fans to share their Happy Meal, too,” Healan explains.
McDonald’s hopes kids will feel the joy of giving by sharing their extra toy with family, friends, or even neighbors. This small act of kindness aligns with McDonald’s values and creates memorable experiences for kids as they learn about generosity.
Collecting Your Pet Simulator Happy Meal
People of all ages have long enjoyed Happy Meals, and this one is no exception. Whether you’re a nostalgic adult who remembers getting a “big kid meal” or a young gamer excited about Pet Simulator, you’re welcome to join the fun.
Plus, with the double toy bonus, you can share the joy with someone else.
The collectibles will only last a while, so visit your nearest McDonald’s before December 16 to enjoy the Pet Simulator Happy Meal. Remember, it’s all about sharing the fun and joy of the season.
