But fear not, as the plenty of replacements will be available – including one brand new item to sink your teeth into.
Here is everything joining the McDonald’s menu from tomorrow (6 January).
The Chicken Katsu One wrap

Of course, the big ticket item is the introduction of the Katsu Chicken wrap. Many of you may remember the hugely popular Katsu Curry Chicken McNuggets in 2021, which devastated punters when they left the menu, so this item is likely to be a popular one.
The Chicken Katsu One will come with the choice of wither grilled or crispy chicken coated in katsu sauce, crispy onions, cucumber, and fresh lettuce – all wrapped up in a warm toasted tortilla.
Available for £3.49 as a single item, £5.29 with a meal or £1.99 on a Wednesday.
BBQ Ranch Stack

Available for £5.19 as a single item or £6.99 with a meal.
Milky Way McFlurry

McDonald’s is hoping to ease the January blues with a new-look menu for 2025.
The fast-food giant say it’s introduced three new dishes ‘offering unbeatable flavour and prices’, starting from £1.99.
Now, McDonald’s fans may remember that, in 2021, the eatery launched Katsu Curry Chicken McNuggets, which proved to be pretty popular.
In 2025, however, they are promising to take things up a notch with a more substantial version of the Japanese/American dish.

The good ol’ Mozzarella Dippers are also back in action, sticks of Mozzarella cheese coated in breadcrumbs and served with Salsa dip.
The fish is available now until 25 March as a three piece collection or nine piece sharebox.
Reacting to the new menu, one fan said: “They need to leave the Big Tasty in the menu permanently.”
Another added: “Bring back the hash brown bites permanently so people have a choice, also the breakfast bagels!!!
“In America they still do the breakfast bagels and more breakfast options like the scrambled eggs etc and more option for lunch/dinner menu, don’t know why we can’t have them options here in the UK.”
While someone else pointed out: “They are more affordable than any other fast food chain already.”
