McDonald’s is adding a bunch of tasty new options to its menu today just in time for Easter, and a few fan-favourites are also making a return.
Yes, that’s right – the legendary Creme Egg McFlurry is back.
It’s felt like a long time coming, but the first signs of spring are officially showing, and now, popular fast food chain McDonald’s has finally confirmed that fans will be able to indulge in its classic Easter-themed dessert once again from today, alongside some other limited-edition sweet and savoury options that are bound to go down a real treat.
The Creme Egg McFlurry is an undeniable Maccies fan favourite, and is made from dairy ice cream swirled with Cadbury milk chocolate pieces, and the trademark gooey Cadbury Crème Egg fondant sauce running all the way through.
The massively-popular dessert comes in both the regular and mini size, and will set you back £2.19 each, or just £1.59 for the mini.

Although the Creme Egg McFlurry is obviously one of the most-anticipated returning menu items, especially with Easter being only few weeks away now, it’s not the only thing due for a comeback, as McDonald’s has also confirmed that the popular burger, the McCrispy Deluxe, will be returning today, as well as the beloved Halloumi Fries.
Fresh from its debut in summer 2023, the McCrispy Deluxe will be back for a limited time this Easter, and is made up of a 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy crunchy coating topped with a hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion compote, seasonal lettuce, bacon, red onions, a slice of cheddar cheese and a sourdough style bun.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a new seasonal menu without a cheesy sidekick, would it? That’s why the Halloumi Fries – which are coated in a light batter, and served with a rich tomato dip – are also returning today, and will also be available to order in ‘Sharebox’ size too.

Then, when it comes to newbies, there’s a few debuts on the McDonald’s Easter menu for 2024 too.
This year, if fast food fans aren’t into Creme Eggs, then they can tuck into the brand-new the Galaxy Truffle Bunny McFlurry instead, or opt for a seasonal take on the chain’s iconic dessert in the form of the new Hot Cross Bun Pie for just £1.99.
And to top it all off, you can wash all your seasonal treats off with the new Hot Cross Bun Latte – which is described as being a smooth latte blended with a sweet and spiced hot cross bun-flavoured syrup, and topped with cinnamon cream and hot cross bun-flavoured dusting.
The McDonald’s 2024 Easter menu will officially be launching across the UK today (Wednesday 13 March), and will be available for a limited time only.

A FREE week-long event dedicated to Japan is coming to Manchester
Thomas Melia
An event dedicated to the East Asian country of Japan is making its way to Manchester city centre this month.
Simply titled ‘Japan Week’, this cultural ceremony aims to package up all the things this East Asian country has to offer, such as music and theatre, compiling them into a fantastic five-day showcase.
Taking place this weekend and based over in the ever-flourishing First Street complex – which will serve as the main hub – the festival is open to all.
We love anything that shows off just how multicultural this city is.
On Friday, 5 September, from 3-5pm, you can watch the Japan Week opening ceremony, which is taking place on an outdoor stage at First Street with the running order including dance acts and even ceremonial-style samurai performances.
With so many artistic events and cultural dates taking place in the growing mini-district that is First St (including Jack Rosenthal Street and Tony Wilson Place), it’s the perfect site for this month’s showcase.
This opening procedure is actually called ‘Kagami Biraki’, and if you attend on the day, you’ll be able to see the traditional opening of the sake barrel, which symbolises unlocking good fortune and the spirit of celebration.
Japan Week is coming to First Street in the city centre from Thursday, 4 September to Tuesday, 9 September, and, perhaps best of all, there are absolutely no tickets required.
More events on the Japan Week 2025 programme will also be taking place at other venues too.
Yes, as the goal of the festivities is to spread awareness and celebrate Japanese heritage and its connection to Manchester, the event is completely FREE – as it should be.

The annual Altrincham 10k just got a whole lot bigger and better ahead of this year’s run, as the annual race has just notched Nike as one of their new lead sponsors – and that’s not all.

Set to welcome approximately 3,500 runners to the Trafford market town’s central streets, the Altrincham 10k is one of the final large-scale running events on the local calendar.
Aligning both famous brands with the heart of Altrincham’s running community and, indeed, giving Greater Manchester’s wider sports culture, it’s yet more prestige for 0161.
The 2025 race will also see Nike showcase its latest road running line-up, including the newest max cushioning shoe: the ‘Vomero Plus’; the responsive ‘Pegasus’ everyday trainer, as well as supportive ‘Structure’ model, meaning runners will get a chance to sample their latest styles.
As well as support from SportsShoes.com and official Nike ambassadors, North West native and GB triathlete Katie Halligan, Hits Radio presenter and ultra runner Hattie Pearson, as well as local Manc artist Emma Evans will all be there too.
These equally inspiring women have also been chosen to help represent Nike and RunThrough’s shared mission of attracting more female runners, as shown with events such asthe recent 2025 Women’s Run Series back in April.
Co-Founder of RunThrough, Matt Wood, said of the new partnership: “Welcoming Nike as title sponsor of the Altrincham 10K, alongside our long-standing partner SportsShoes.com, is a huge milestone for the event.
“This partnership highlights the growth of our community and the strength of our brand. We can’t wait to support the thousands of runners taking part in the Nike Altrincham 10K, Presented by SportsShoes.com.”
As for SportShoes, brand manager Gavin Bannister added: “The energy around this year’s 10K will be electric, and we can’t wait to see everyone out there chasing their goals and celebrating the power of running.
“From our own athletes to first-time runners, this event is all about showing up, pushing limits, and being part of something truly special, and that is what Nike and Sportsshoes.com are all about.”
