'Tis the season for McDonald's to bring back a fan favorite sweet treat: the Holiday Pie.
The dessert has returned to menus in "select regions" across the United States, the company confirmed. McDonald's has released the festive pastry for the past 10 years, but the areas of availability vary. Fans have spotted the pies in places including Oregon, Illinois and Texas so far this year. According to the chain, the Holiday Pie is a "mouthwatering pastry" that's filled with vanilla custard and baked in a buttery crust (similar in shape to its rectangular apple pie) and topped with rainbow sprinkles. McDonald's (MCD) said the pie will be available until early January, and as usual won't be released nationwide — making it a rare treat . The McRib was sold in a similar manner, but last year McDonald's finally launched it nationwide.

Try one ANYWHERE ELSE!!
“Would you like a crispy hot Holiday Pie with your order, sir.”
I thought they were going to put worms back 8n their burgers...
I never had one of those holiday pies, but I burned my tongue on their hot apple pies a few times in my youth.
Dude, get out of my head. That’s what I thought it was going to be. Instead I’m like: “What’s... a ‘holiday pie’....?”
I could eat the crap when I was a kid but not anymore. It is terrible food. Heavily processed, and sugar, sugar, sugar.
Ha, yes, I remember when it was less than a million. That mystified me: How did they know?
I used to always order that. With a slice of American cheese! Yum!
And they got sued for coffee ;)
Sorry I could help :)
I am thinking they are baked now.
I remember that bubbly crust that would crackle when you bit into them- I had a baked apple pie from them and never again. It was just gross.
The best thing ever on the menu were the Mighty Wings. Tastiest clucking things ever. A bit on the pricey side, IIRC. But boy, were they good!!!
I quit them when they ruined the world’s best fries to please a minority group! Vegans!
The Times we lived in the usa were
Greeeeeat!
Don’t forget the salt!
The original McRib in the 80s was bliss. Basically bbq rib pieces held together with starch, dextrose, and some extra fat. Oversized specialty bun, smear of sauce, five pickles. Might have been the first time McD's offered an original sauce (bbq, pretty good, more pepper than sweet) on the side...
all the good stuff is overseas.
