McDonald’s UK has unveiled a special anime-themed Happy Meal, showcasing Yu-Gi-Oh! X and Hello Kitty toys, available for a limited time from May 8th to June 18th, 2024.
This fresh addition aligns with the company’s initiative to broaden its selection of children’s menu items, offering patrons a diverse and exciting dining experience.
The upcoming Happy Meal will include a range of ten distinct toys featuring characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! X and Hello Kitty and Friends.
Through this special promotion, the company aims to attract a wide audience, catering to the interests of both anime enthusiasts and collectors.

McDonald’s is offering an alternative to the toys as well. Customers have the option to choose from two educational books from the Little People Big Dreams series: “I Can Be an Awesome Performer” or “I Can Be a Curious Scientist.”
According to a spokesperson from McDonald’s, “With three major anniversaries this year (Hello Kitty and McDonald’s UK both marking their 50th, and Yu-Gi-Oh! celebrating its 25th card game anniversary), what better way to commemorate than with an exhilarating anime takeover?”
“Never before have these two anime realms converged like this, so whether you’re new to either franchise or a dedicated fan, seize the exclusive chance to indulge in this anime special with your Happy Meal.”
In March 2024, McDonald’s UK refreshed its menu with seasonal selections in preparation for Easter.
During the update, nine items were taken off the menu to accommodate the introduction of new Easter-themed treats.

The fast-food chain also underwent a significant transformation by revamping its beefburger recipe, marking a milestone after 50 years of serving the UK and Ireland markets.
All burger options, such as the Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder with cheese, and the Classic Cheeseburger, have been upgraded to provide a fresh taste sensation.
