McDonald’s is launching a new menu full of limited-edition treats next month, and there’s an “unmissable duo” of desserts on the lineup.
Oh, and it’s an “unmissable duo” of pink desserts, no less.
Apparently set to “captivate the taste buds” of fast food fans across the UK, it won’t be long before Maccies lovers will get to tuck into the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry, and the Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie, as the two brand-new sweet treats will soon be available from McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.
A pink twist on the Nestlé classic chocolate bar, the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry is made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with Ruby Chocolate, covered KitKat pieces and wafer bites, and topped with a sweet raspberry sauce.

If raspberry isn’t really your think though, don’t worry, as you can just keep it simple with the return of the KitKat Milk Chocolate McFlurry instead.

And if a pink KitKat McFlurry doesn’t make life rose-tinted enough for you as it is, you can pair it up with the all-new Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie too – which is described as being an indulgent crispy pink pastry filled with a smooth white chocolate ganache and raspberry compote.
The duo of desserts will officially be on the McDonald’s menu nationwide from Friday 9 February for a limited time only.

For anyone keen to get on the action a little earlier though, you can download the McDonald’s App for exclusive access two days before they arrive in store on 7 and 8 February.
It’s not just those with a sweet tooth that are being catered for with the upcoming menu reshuffle either, as there’s also a couple of returning fan-favourite burgers and massively-popular sides making a long-awaited comeback too.
It’s already been revealed that the iconic Breakfast Wrap will be available to tuck into from Wednesday 7 February, after it spent four long years off the menu.
The breakfast classic’s return also comes after thousands of fans put their name to several petitions calling for its comeback.
So, as you can probably tell, people were pretty chuffed to hear they’ll be able to order it again.
Alongside the Breakfast Wrap and the two new desserts, the fast food chain has announced that both the Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon will be making a “triumphant return”, as well as the beloved Mozzarella Dippers – which will be available either as a side of three, or in a Sharebox of nine, accompanied by a tangy salsa dip.
So if you’re up for a full-on fast food feast, then make sure you get yourself down to Maccies from Wednesday 7 February.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
