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.

You can now have a private sleepover amongst all the history inside Manchester Museum
Emily Sergeant
Manchester Museum is now offering one lucky family the chance to have a sleepover with Stan the Tyrannosaurus rex.
For the first time in Manchester Museum’s history, one lucky family will be given the chance to experience an incredible night at the museum.
This unique opportunity is being offered as part of a prize draw, allowing visitors to find out what happens once the sun goes down inside the Fossils and Dinosaurs gallery – in the company of Stan, the famous Tyrannosaurus rex, of course.
The Fossils and Dinosaurs gallery is one of the most iconic spaces within Manchester Museum.
Having opened to the public all the way back in 1888, it’s part of the museum’s original building designed by celebrated Alfred Waterhouse, who also designed Manchester Town Hall and London’s Natural History Museum.
Not only will the lucky winning family enjoy an overnight stay in the gallery, but they’ll also be treated to a guided torchlight tour of the galleries after the Museum has closed, as well as other fun activities and a film screening too before bed.

“We can’t be completely sure what happens when the sun goes down in our Fossils and Dinosaurs gallery, because nobody has ever spent the night in there before, but we can only imagine the kind of fun that can be had with Stan the T. rex and his friends,” said Dean Whiteside, Head of Commercial and Operations at Manchester Museum.
“This is a chance to be a part of museum history and enjoy the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experience you can’t usually buy.
“At the same time, Manchester Museum is a charity so, by getting behind this initiative, you’ll be helping to support vital work that impacts the lives of people across Greater Manchester and beyond.”
Fancy it then? You can enter the prize draw by buying a ticket for £5 from the Manchester Museum Shop, with each ticket counting as one entry and the winner set to be chosen at random from all valid entries.
The prize draw is now open and closes on Monday 28 September 2026.

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester with DJs blasting 2000s indie and emo anthems
Emily Sergeant
A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester this spooky season.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the release of the titular first film in the Twilight Saga, based on author Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling book series of the same name, but despite two decades having passed, the films remain as beloved as ever.
Twilight went on to become a global phenomenon when it first hit cinemas back in November 2008, not just with its target audience of teens and young adults, but with people of all ages – making stars out of its lead actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the process, and generating millions at the box office.
With the impact it had on the culture at the time, it’s no wonder Twilight remained among fans’ favourites all these years later.
And this success is why events company Throwback Events is hosting a series of Twilight Raves across the UK and Europe this autumn, making a stop off here in Manchester in late November with tickets now on sale.
The event description reads: “Bella, where the hell you been loca? Join us as we celebrate Twilight at the club, where every day is Hoa Hoa Hoa season.
“Step into the shadows and relive the magic, mystery, and eternal romance of Twilight. Get ready for a night of anthems, nostalgia, and glittering darkness as we transform the dancefloor into Forks’ most iconic vampire coven.”
DJs will be spinning Twilight soundtracks on the night, alongside dark pop, emo, indie, and 2000s bangers, as well as playing fan edits from the films on big screens.
Oh, and to make it all the better, dressing up as vampires and werewolves is ‘highly encouraged’.
Fancy it then? The Twilight Rave is coming to the Deaf Institute in Manchester on Saturday 21 November, and tickets will set you back upwards of £7 each.
