McDonald's adds Hot Cross Bun Pie AND Hot Cross Bun Latte to Easter menu
And Halloumi Fries are making a comeback!
Last updated 1st Mar 2024
McDonald's has revealed its exciting new Easter menu, including new items that will be available for a limited time only from Wednesday 13th March.
The egg-cellent new menu includes the brand-new Hot Cross Bun Pie, which is priced at £1.99. The pie is made up of crispy cinnamon pastry, filled with spiced fruit mix and a butter-flavour cream filling.
Another new item is the Hot Cross Bun Latte (£2.69), a smooth latte blended with sweet and spiced Hot Cross Bun flavoured syrup, topped with cinnamon cream and a Hot Cross Bun flavoured dusting.
The menu also includes a delicious new McFlurry in the form of the the Galaxy® Truffle Bunny McFlurry® (£2.19). The ice cream is swirled with pieces of Galaxy® Truffle, Galaxy® bunny ears and white and dark chocolate drops, as well as being topped with Galaxy® Chocolate sauce.
In addition to these new items, customers can also look forward to the return of three popular menu items - McCrispy® Deluxe, Halloumi Fries with a Rich Tomato Sauce and Cadbury® Creme Egg McFlurry® .
Swirled with pieces of Cadbury® Dairy Milk Chocolate and topped with an indulgent Creme Egg sauce, the Cadbury® Creme Egg McFlurry® is an Easter favourite, and is priced at £2.19.
Meanwhile, after launching in Summer 2023, the McCrispy® Deluxe (£5.89) is making a welcome return for a limited time this Easter. The 100% chicken breast fillet burger is topped with a hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion compote, seasonal lettuce, bacon, red onions and a slice of cheddar cheese, all within a sourdough style bun.
Another fan-favourite that McDonald's lovers will be keen to welcome back is its Halloumi Fries, which are served with a rich tomato dip. The cheesy treat is available to purchase as a portion of four (£2.79), or in a sharebox (£7.39).

Now take a look at some of the nostalgic food and drink we used to love at school:
Cornflake cake
A staple of the school kitchen! If you fancy making your own cornflake cake, just like this yummy one in the photo, check out this amazing recipe from The Spelt Kitchen.
Turkey Twizzlers
Turkey Twizzlers were basically on the menu every day until 2005, when they were banned from schools following a healthy eating campaign by top chef Jamie Oliver.
The tasty treats recently made a comeback though, albeit with a lot less fat, additives and flavourings!
Angel Delight
It really was the simple things in life that got us through Maths with our least favourite teacher...
Turkey dinosaurs
Always a favourite when they landed on the school menu, turkey dinosaurs were basically in the same God Tier as turkey twizzlers.
Baked Beans
Beans and chips, beans and nuggets, beans and fish fingers, anything with beans was a winning school meal in our eyes!
Lumpy mash
It was served with basically every meal, but nobody was complaining after it had been drowned in gravy.
Rice pudding
A classic still to this day.
Cartons of Milk
Whether you had cartons or glass bottles, there was nothing better than a slug of milk during break time!
Sprinkle cake
It was hard around the edges and dry in the middle, but there was something about sprinkle cake at school, lathered in custard of course.
Smiley potato faces
They cheered up our plates and will always have a place in our culinary hearts.
Jelly
All together now: "Jelly on a plate, jelly on a plate, wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on a plate"
Syrup sponge
Syrup sponge and custard, was there even a nicer dessert?
Pizza slices
You couldn't beat a pizza slice on your lunch break... Even if it only had 2 slices of pepperoni on!
Caramel Shortcake
These treats weren't on offer often, but when they did come it was always a race to get one before they'd gone!
