All I Want for Christmas is the new Mariah Menu at McDonald’s! The fast-food chain announced last Wednesday that it was teaming up with Mariah Carey for 12 days of free food.
Last year ahead of Christmas, McDonald’s had 11 days of app deals featuring iconic holiday characters’ favorite menu items like Frosty the Snowman, Buddy the Elf, The Grinch and Santa Claus. And the chain has previously rolled out limited-time celebrity meals based on stars’ favorite McDonald’s orders, including the Saweetie Meal last summer and “Famous Orders” with BTS, J Balvin and Travis Scott.
But the coming “Mariah Menu,” which debuts December 13, is different and features a select free item each day through Christmas Eve with a $1 minimum purchase on McDonald’s mobile app. “Some of my favorite memories with my kids are our family trips to McDonald’s, and of course, each of us has our go-to order,” Carey said in a statement, adding hers is the cheeseburger with extra pickles. “Bringing together some of our favorite food from McDonald’s with my all-time favorite season is a holiday wish come true.”
In a YouTube video for McDonald’s, the superstar, dressed for the holidays in a floor length sparkly red gown, says the items on the menu include “food both you and I love.” Carey is the second female to be featured in McDonald’s U.S. celebrity campaign.
The singer got an early start on the holiday season, announcing November 1st that “it’s time” to get into the holiday spirit with her iconic song “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” which was released 27 years ago, and “Mariah’s Christmas: The Magic Continues” will debut on Apple TV+ in December after the streaming service had the “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special” last year. This year’s special will mark her first and only performance of her new holiday single, “Fall in Love at Christmas,” featuring Khalid and Kirk Franklin.
Jennifer Healan, McDonald’s vice president of U.S. marketing, brand content and engagement, said in a statement that Carey “goes with the holidays like ketchup and fries, so we couldn’t think of a better partner to help us celebrate the upcoming season.” McDonald’s said the menu items will be served in “fun and festive packaging” that both”Lambily and McDonald’s fans will love.” Carey often calls her fans “Lambily” – a combination of the word lamb and family.
Here are all 12 of the coming McDonald’s Mariah Menu deals.
