The wait is over – because savings are “here to stay” at the Golden Arches. On January 7, the fast food chain finally launched its McDonald’s new McValue™ menu, which features all-day savings, every day at U.S. restaurants nationwide.
What’s on the McValue Menu?
As CBS News reports, it includes McDonald’s $5 meal deal, which the company launched in June. The offering comes with either a McDouble burger or McChicken sandwich, four chicken McNuggets, a small order of fries and a small soft drink.
A new “buy one, add one for $1” deal is also on the McValue menu. It applies to popular breakfast, lunch and dinner items like breakfast sandwiches, nuggets and burgers. When costumers buy one full-priced item from the McValue menu, they may add an additional item for just $1. Plus, McDonald’s is dropping even more offers in the App courtesy of McValue – including free medium fries with a $1 purchase every Friday in 2025 and a free McCrispy chicken sandwich for new App users.
Local franchisees across the country are also serving up special deals in their communities on fan-favorites like the McGriddle, and App-exclusive offers like 20% off $10 or more. And they have their own hot takes on which Buy One, Add One for $1 pairings are must-try’s.
Value Ambassador John Cena
McDonald’s has partnered with professional wrestler and actor John Cena to launch the new platform, calling him “the perfect McValue ambassador.”
“I always talk about ‘earning my sunset’ and there’s nothing like heading to McDonald’s after completely crushing your day,” Cena says. “I’ll admit – it’s tough to choose between some of my favorites sometimes, but now I don’t have to. The fact that fans can mix and match with the new McValue menu to get great deals on the food they love is going to be an absolute game-changer.”
Cena is ready to show you the McValue ropes – follow along on McDonald’s social channels to see how he gets the most out of McValue and his go-to Buy One, Add One for $1 combo (spoiler: it’s a Sausage McMuffin and Hash Browns).
Perks that Go Beyond the Menu
McDonald’s is launching other deals to celebrate the McValue menu’s launch, totaling more than $3 million in promotions. During the first few weeks of 2025, the company partnered with 16 different brands to bring customers access to perks such as one free month of YouTube TV, 20 minutes of free wi-fi on American Airlines flights, a free Tinder Gold Premium Access subscription, and more.
As the company states, to get these perks, you need to “interact with McValue ads when you spot them on your favorite platforms for the potential to unlock free credits, upgrades, and ad-free entertainment while supplies last.” So, if you’re manifesting savings this year, watch out for our content on your favorite platforms and head to your local restaurant to see how much more you can get with McValue, today.
