How is McDonald's celebrating National Egg McMuffin Day? Deals and discounts explored

McDonald's is celebrating National Egg McMuffin Day on Sunday, March 2. It is bringing in various offers to its breakfast menu across the United States.

The Egg McMuffin was introduced in 1975 in the US. Herb Peterson invented the breakfast sandwich in 1971 and it has since become one of the most loved products on the fast-food chain's menu. Peterson's son David Peterson and McDonald's Owner/Operator said in a press release:

“When I watched my father introduce this idea to Ray Kroc, we could not have anticipated it would become the foundation for the renowned McDonald’s breakfast menu. It’s been remarkable to see people embrace this innovation over the last five decades, and now we get to share that heritage with a new generation of breakfast fans.”

The Egg McMuffin features a freshly-cracked egg with American cheese between toasted and buttered English muffins. It comes with the option of a sausage or a bacon in between.

McDonald's brings its Krispy Kreme collaboration to the Big Apple

The fast-food chain collaborated with the leading doughnut chain Krispy Kreme last year for its breakfast menu. Some of its outlets served these doughnuts with its McCafe orders. However, it was only available in select regions like Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Louisville.

McDonald's has now announced that these Krispy Kreme doughnuts will also be available in New York City. Only three flavors are part of this collaboration though -

• Original Glazed
• Chocolate icing with sprinkles
• Iced chocolate filled doughnuts

The fast-food chain plans to bring the collaboration to half of the United States by the end of 2025. By the end of 2026, these doughnuts are expected to be available nationwide at every outlet.
