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.

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.”
