'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.

I remember it as being kind of tasty, but the this thing was God-awful. Cardboard would have tasted better.

McDonald's food quality has declined so much, it's hard to believe. Dry buns. Dried patties.

If you could take a time machine back to the 80s and eat a Quarter Pounder and fries, you wouldn't recognize it from what they're serving today.

The only thing that hasn't changed is their fountain coke and that's because Coca Cola uses a proprietary syrup/carbonated H2O blend that is only available at McDonald's.

Try the DOUBLE filet-O-fish. It’s not bad, one of the few items I’ll order from the golden arches. Yes, two filets in one sandwich.

Pretty sure their pies are baked, to be “healthy.”

What's the point?
