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.

Manchester firefighter surprises partner with proposal during new recruits parade
Danny Jones
We’re a sucker for a wholesome little video as we know you are, which is exactly why we thought of you lot when we came across this video of a newly graduated Manchester firefighter surprising his partner with a heartwarming proposal.
Just the kind of heartwarming that usually sets us off after a long week at work.
The clip shared by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) on Thursday, 25 April, shows Manc fireman James popping the question to his girlfriend sat unassumingly in the audience at a recent passing out ceremony.
Pass out ceremonies are when trainees go from recruits to fully qualified firefighters after completing their intensive operational training. It’s a long-standing tradition in the emergency services where friends and family gather to celebrate their achievements – it’s almost like it’s the perfect opportunity…
Watch as a Manc firefighter turns his passing out ceremony into a surprise proposal.
As you can see, since the graduates are usually the centre of attention, James couldn’t help but size his moment and instead of walking and lining up normally like everyone else, he decided to head straight over to his wife-to-be and get down on one knee.
You already know the rest.
Welling up immediately and barely able to remove her hands from her face, Melissa nods and says yes as the crowd cheers and the pair share a smooch.
Writing on social media, the GMFRS said: “We managed to capture a VERY special moment at our new recruits pass out parade today… Congratulations to James and Melissa!”, adding, “Certainly one way to start your new career”.
If we don’t see all the groomsmen dressed as firefighters on a random viral video sometime soon we’re going to be gutted.
All the best to the happy couple and if you’ve got any more lovely clips like this to send in so we can make ourselves cry (in a good way), you know what to do.

The Chestergate pub in Stockport is at it again with some of the most wonderfully Manc scenes you’ll ever see
Danny Jones
The legendary Chestergate pub in Stockport is back with another belter of a video, following on from their viral belly-flashing clip of 2022.
The Mersey Square boozer has painted yet another quintessentially Northern depiction of UK pub culture with the latest Manc scenes they’ve captured around the karaoke machine.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of stumbling into The Chestergate in Stockport town centre, the long-standing boozer currently operated by publican chain Blind Tiger Inns, you’re seriously missing out.
While it might not be the flashiest of pubs, when it comes to entertainment, it always delivers.
Whether it’s stunts like renaming themselves ‘The Southgate’ whenever the Euros or World Cup rolls around, or the locals just genuinely having a whale of a time no matter what day of the week it is, it really sums up the best of pub culture.
The Chestergate went viral for some of the most British footage ever caught on film back in 2022 and the videos saw a huge wave of love and support flooding in for the pub, as well as a healthy amount of chuckles. Safe to say we were chuffed to see them pop back up on our feed again recently.
Karaoke night at The Chestergate literally never disappoints.
Forget ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ or ‘Champagne Supernova’ for karaoke songs – we’ll take a cacophony of inaudible throwback pop music, whilst another bloke and his hype man try and MC over a totally ill-fitting beat any day of the week.
And that’s handy because you’ll find those kinds of shenanigans happening at this place all the time.
It’s simultaneously one of the most no-nonsense and somehow a non-stop shenanigan-filled paradise. They also look after their own and consider their regulars part of the family. Case and point: they threw their very own ‘Dancing Queen’ Molly a big bash for her 86th birthday and it’s such wholesome viewing.
At this point, it’s worth flagging that we have nothing but envy for these folks and anyone who’s just out there having the time of their lives on any random weeknight.
Yes, it produced plenty of laughs for those watching online in recent times but this lot won’t mind one bit – not only is the pub seeing more and more new faces through the door but that’s the whole point of a pub, isn’t it? Going for a pint with your nearest and dearest and having a laugh.
Not only is it very Manchester but it’s Britain at its very best.
We hope to see you at The Chestergate pub in Stockport for a pint or two sometime soon and we’re making a bit of a prat of ourselves, don’t worry, we’re sure they’ll have the cameras ready for you.
