McDonald’s Releases Squishmallows Happy Meal Nationwide

Just as we’re coming down from our Kerwin Frost high, McDonald’s is revving up for its next exciting Happy Meal release. Previously available in select countries earlier this year, Squishmallows will finally make their way to McDonald’s locations nationwide on December 26.

If you’re unfamiliar with the plushy world of the Squishmallows, as the name implies, they are squishy toys for kids and adults. Think stuffed animals that are irresistibly squeezable and come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Since 2017, they’ve left their imprint on the hearts of fans worldwide, who aim to collect them all like rare Pokemon. 

“We’re all about connecting our fans to culture and Squishmallows are some of the hottest toys out there right now,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “This collaboration welcomes McDonald’s and Squishmallow fans alike to enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience with the first McDonald’s Squishmallows Squad.”

McDonald’s new Squishmallows Happy Meal is sure to add to the fan frenzy. It features 12 collectible characters, ten of which are fan-favorites like Cam and FiFi, and two special ones from McDonald’s iconic brand. Additionally, there will be a mystery character for fans to search for. 

If the Happy Meal wasn’t exciting enough, a playlist has been made to match each character, courtesy of Universal Music Group. To access the playlists, all you have to do is scan the QR code on the Happy Meal box.

Stop by your local Mickey D’s on December 26 to get your hands on one.
