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.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
