After bringing back the heat last week with Spicy Chicken McNuggets, McDonald’s is turning to cold and sweet.
The fast-food giant announced Tuesday that the popular Shamrock Shake will return to participating restaurants nationwide Feb. 15 “to mark the first green of spring.” It will be joined by the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry, which debuted last February in honor of the shake’s 50th anniversary.
The seasonal desserts will be available for a limited time more than a month before St. Patrick’s Day.
“For more than 50 years, fans have eagerly awaited the annual return of the Shamrock Shake, counting on the arrival of Shamrock Shake Season to mark the unofficial start to spring,” McDonald’s Senior Director of Culinary Chad Schafer said in a news release.
