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.

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.
