McDonald's has delighted families across the United Kingdom by reintroducing a cherished Happy Meal partnership that customers have eagerly awaited. The fast food giant officially rolled out its new Dobble-themed Happy Meals on Monday, February 3rd, creating excitement among parents and children nationwide.
A Welcome Return for Family Favourite
The return of the Dobble collaboration marks a significant moment for McDonald's UK branches, with many families expressing their enthusiasm for the popular card game's inclusion in the Happy Meal lineup. Dobble represents a fast-paced, engaging card game suitable for all ages, typically available through major retailers, but now accessible through this special McDonald's promotion.
Limited-Edition Collectibles Available
Throughout February, customers purchasing children's Happy Meals can obtain one of eight exclusive mini Dobble games as part of their meal package. McDonald's has positioned this offering as a "feel-good fun treat" perfectly timed for the upcoming half term school holiday period.
The Dobble mini games are available with several Happy Meal options including:
- Mayo Chicken Happy Meal
- Hamburger Happy Meal
- Cheeseburger Happy Meal
- Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal
- McFish Happy Meal
Customer Reactions and Social Response
Initial reactions to the Dobble Happy Meal return have been overwhelmingly positive across social media platforms. One enthusiastic customer commented "Finally at last," while another parent noted "My kids are going to be pleasantly surprised" upon discovering the collaboration.
Replacing Previous Collaborations
This latest Happy Meal partnership replaces McDonald's previous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Hello Kitty promotion, which launched alongside the Secret Menu initiative last month. That collaboration featured Hello Kitty figurines dressed in Mutant Ninja Turtle attire, proving popular with both children and adult collectors.
While some customers have expressed nostalgia for the previous offering, many have welcomed the Dobble partnership with open arms, appreciating the return of this family-friendly game option.
Additional McDonald's Promotional News
In related McDonald's promotional developments, the fast food chain has also launched a Friends television show collaboration available in three meal options: Big Mac, nine McNuggets, or McPlant meals, each served with fries and a carbonated drink selection.
This separate promotion includes six collectible items inspired by iconic Friends characters:
- Rachel Green
- Monica Geller
- Phoebe Buffay
- Joey Tribbiani
- Chandler Bing
- Ross Geller
Each Friends-themed meal purchased contains one of these character collectibles, available for a limited period over the coming weeks.
The simultaneous running of these two promotions demonstrates McDonald's ongoing commitment to providing varied entertainment options alongside their meal offerings, catering to different family preferences and creating multiple reasons for customers to visit their restaurants during the winter months.
