McDonald’s Holiday Pies: Price, nutritional facts, and other details explored

McDonald’s is sweetening up the holiday season with the return of its McDonald’s Holiday Pies. A festive favorite in many regions of the country, the pies have been a staple on the chain's menu every holiday season since their first debut in 1999.

Though the seasonal item is returning to the chain's menu, it will only be available in selected stores across the country. Since McDonald's Holiday Pies are optional items on the holiday menu, the choice to add them to the menu lies with the franchise owners.

Available in stores starting November 27, customers can get the Holiday Pies at a suggested price of $1.19 each, or two for a combined price of $1. Customers visiting a company-owned outlet might have a greater chance of getting their hands on the pie, but it is always advised to check the chain's website or app beforehand.

There's no hint regarding how long the McDonald’s Holiday Pies will be available, so customers are advised to grab one at the earliest. Orders for the pies can either be placed at participating stores, or through the chain's website and app for pick-up and delivery.
