Sing to McDonald’s new menu to end 2025 in style – Cheesy Jalapeño burgers, Truffle Cheese McShaker™ Fries, Oreo pie, Mango Pineapple soft serve, and even Breakfast Waffles!
To herald this, meet some familiar faces!
Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie have touched down in Singapore, and their arrival marks the start of a McDonald’s year end celebration. The trio are here to unveil the latest limited edition menu, led by the bold and addictive Cheesy Jalapeño burgers (the Quarter Pounder and chicken burgers), along with Truffle Cheese McShaker™ Fries, Oreo pie, Mango Pineapple soft serve, and even Breakfast Waffles for early risers.

On top of this, the crew will also light up the island with the McDonaldland Crew Music Festival, taking place at the outdoor area of Plaza Singapura from 12 to 14 December. The festival will feature live local music performances from local musicians Gravity Band, Jack & Rai and Jeff Ng.
Cheesy Jalapeño Burgers: A Spicy, Cheesy, Crispy Welcome Party
The new menu drop is headlined by the Cheesy Jalapeño range, available in both chicken and beef.
The Cheesy Jalapeño Chicken Burger steals the spotlight: the patty is crispy, juicy and golden, the perfect counterbalance to the warm jalapeño cheese sauce and crispy bacon. Every bite is creamy, crunchy and with a hint of kick and tanginess to wake the senses.
The Cheesy Jalapeño Quarter Pounder (Beef) packs the same heat and richness but comes with a firmer bite. A quick mention that the beef leans slightly drier than the chicken, but the bacon, cheese, and jalapeños keep things lively.
Adding to the excitement, the Truffle Cheese McShaker™ Fries come with a seasoning that leans into a milk-powder-buttery aroma. The truffle flavour is light as the “milk-powder” taste is stronger; flavour subjectivity is clear here, as the children licked their fingers clean.
Desserts That Make the Party Sweeter
For dessert lovers, the Oreo McFlurry™ Pie is a crispy pastry filled with warm, creamy, Oreo-studded filling. With the McDonald’s signature crackly outside, the filling was surprisingly not as sweet as expected.
With every McDonald’s party, there is always a special soft serve flavour and this time, it is the Mango Pineapple Soft Serve that tastes like sunshine in a cone. It comes with a stronger mango flavour with a hint of acidity from the pineapple – sweet, tangy, refreshing and perfect for Singapore’s heat.
Breakfast Just Got a Waffle Lot Better
For early birds, McDonald’s has tucked in a quiet little bonus: Breakfast Waffles. While they were not available for tasting, it seems like a consensus that everyone tends to give each new McDonald’s item a shot, so why not try it out yourself!
As a side note, from 1-19 December (Mon-Fri, 8:00am-11:00am), kids aged 12 and below can go in-store and receive an activity sheet to draw a Belgian Waffles Platter for Birdie. Once their artwork is complete, you can claim a free Hash Brown Be Our Guest (BOG) card (limited to 30 per store/day).
Blind Box Pocket Pouches — Unbox the McLand Crew Mystery
Of course, what’s a full McDonald’s celebration without exclusive collectibles?
This launch brings one of the cutest McDonald’s collectibles to date: the Pocket Pouch Blindbox series, sold at $7.90 with a qualifying meal purchase.
Each blindbox gets you either Grimace, Hamburglar, Birdie, or the Fries design. Furry and bright with a solid keyring, these ‘slightly larger than palm-size’ pouches will definitely delight the eyes and the heart.
And if you are chasing something truly exclusive, MyM Rewards members can unlock a Members-Only Fries Pouch (plus a strap), available through a special redemption – making it the most coveted item in the collection.
Wrap Up the Year with Music, Treats and the McDonaldland Crew
Back to the trio, they are not just here for food. They’re throwing a festival from 12-14 Dec at Plaza Singapure’s Level One outdoor area!
What better way to end the year with the McDonaldland Crew Music Festival, a weekend of local music performances, treats and fun games. Meet and greet Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie at 3pm and 6pm; get a free vanilla cone from 7pm daily (limited to 1000 a day); get involved in the photo booth, games, customisable tote bags and more!
It’s going to be playful, nostalgic and totally built for everyone young and old. For the first time in years, the McDonaldland crew feels alive again — wandering, dancing and snapping selfies with fans.
A Launch That Feels Like a Celebration
With the McLand Crew festival bringing music, character appearances and interactive fun across Singapore; and the Cheesy Jalapeño burgers anchoring this culinary “case file”, McDonald’s has transformed a menu launch into a lively island-wide celebration.
Paired with the blindbox pouches, new desserts and fan-favourite shaker fries, the event wraps food, nostalgia and entertainment into one vibrant experience. If the mission was to make the city buzz, Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie have solved the case in style.
