McDonald's brings back Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate for Holiday Season 2022

The festive Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate are making a comeback at a few McDonald's restaurants across the US to mark the 2022 Holiday Season.

McDonald's is one of the largest fast-food companies in the world and a national symbol of the United States, famous for its hamburgers, especially the Big Mac. Its corporate headquarters are situated in Chicago.

In 1940, brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald opened the first restaurant in San Bernardino, California. It was once a drive-in with a wide selection of merchandise. The brothers did, however, decide to restructure the business in 1948, and a newly envisioned McDonald's was introduced after a three-month renovation.

The chain continues to expand both domestically and internationally. In 1967, the first eatery outside the United States opened in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. At the start of the 21st century, there were about 34,000 locations operating in more than 115 countries and territories.
