McDonald’s has officially unveiled its Christmas food menu for 2022, and there’s some proper tasty festive treats to tuck into.
With the festive season finally here, the 2022 John Lewis Christmas advert officially out into the world, Starbucks and Costa’s festive offerings flying off the shelves, Greggs’ Festive Bakes back and fresh out the oven as of today, and the 2022 Manchester Christmas Markets kicking-off this morning, what else is there left to look forward to?
Well now, it’s McDonald’s turn to show us what they’ve got to offer.
The fast food giant has released details of its 2022 Christmas food menu this week, and there’s a whole host of festive fan favourites making a comeback.
Returning on Wednesday 23 November for a limited six-week run, festive foodies will see the return of the much-loved Big Tasty burger – which is a 100% beef patty with Emmental cheese, onions, juicy tomatoes, the option to add bacon, and a unique smoky flavoured sauce all nested in a freshly toasted bun.

The beloved Cheese Melt Dippers will also be returning this year, with the breaded camembert bites served with a tangy tomato dip setting you back £2.29 or £5.99 for a sharebox of 15.
Chicken lovers will still be able to get their hands on the all-new permanent chicken burger, the McCrispy – which is a 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy crunchy coating, served with iceberg lettuce, black pepper mayo, and a sourdough-style sesame topped bun.

Another fan favourite making a return is The Festive Pie, which is a classic hot crispy pie filled with mincemeat and custard.
But the stand-out on the 2022 Christmas menu is by far the return of the Celebrations McFlurry.
Back by popular demand after a successful run in 2020, the Celebrations McFlurry is made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with Maltesers clusters, Galaxy chocolate drops, caramel pieces, Mars chewy pieces, and Twix biscuits, all topped with a milk chocolate sauce.

Unfortunately though, to make room for this festive line-up of foods, McDonald’s has announced that it will be waving goodbye to some of its current menu additions, with 22 November being the last day you can tuck into the BBQ Bacon Stack, Nacho Cheese Wedges, and Twirl McFlurry.
The McDonald’s 2022 Christmas menu returns on Wednesday 23 November.

Kyle Walker announces retirement from international football with England at 35
Danny Jones
Former Manchester City star and England defender has announced his retirement from international football at 35 years old.
He calls it a day for his country with nearly a century of appearances.
Kyle Walker, who has won six Premier Leagues, four Carabao trophies, a pair of FA Cups and a Champions League title with Man City, made his national team debut back in 2011.
Now, nearly a full decade and a half later, he is hanging up his boots on the biggest stage, retiring as England’s most capped right back in history.
As you can see, he confirmed the news in a highlight video looking back on her best moments with the Three Lions.
Sharing a lengthy and emotional statement in the caption, the Yorkshireman wrote: “After more than a decade representing my country, I have decided to retire from international football. Playing for England has always been the biggest honour of my career and something I will always be proud of.
“Thank you to every teammate, coach, manager, the 12th man, and everyone behind the scenes who has been part of the journey. Every roar from the fans pushed the team along, and I’m looking forward to joining them to support the lads in the World Cup.”
His last appearance in an England shirt came in June against Senegal, since dropping out of manager Thomas Tuchel’s first-choice team and future plans, with both form and age no doubt being factored into that decision.
Walker added: “The memories in an England shirt will stay with me forever.”
96 caps 🧢 Five major tournaments 🏴 A #ThreeLions legend ⭐
He went on to sign off by saying, “I also want to thank my family for their support every step of the way. They have made this journey even more special, and I will always be grateful to have shared it with them.”
The Sheffield-born fullback left Manchester last year following a loan spell at AC Milan, before joining fellow Premier League side Burnley FC permanently this past July.
Meanwhile, the Clarets are staring down relegation back to the Championship; however, this step will no doubt help Walker prolong his club career, whether or not he stays in Lancashire.
Where does Walker rank among the all-time England defenders in your mind?

The gladiators are ready for a new series… but are the contenders?
