McDonald’s Axes Festive Pie Again in Christmas Menu Shake-Up

• McDonald’s confirms Festive Pie won’t return for a second year
• Fans can enjoy new items like the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie instead
• Big Tasty and Cheesy McCrispy join the 2024 Christmas menu

For the second consecutive year, McDonald’s has decided not to bring back its beloved Festive Pie, leaving fans disappointed this Christmas. The dessert, which was a Christmassy twist on the classic apple pie, last appeared on menus in 2022.

While the news has disappointed many, McDonald’s has introduced new festive options to its 2024 Christmas lineup, including the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie—a crispy chocolate pastry filled with orange-flavoured ganache. Other highlights include the Cheesy McCrispy burger and the returning Big Tasty.

Fans of the discontinued pie have taken to Facebook to bemoan their missing treat, with one commenting "Christmas is ruined” and another saying, “Woke up to the devastating news that there will be no festive pie offered by McDonald’s this year”.

Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: “Losing the Festive Pie is a blow for fans, but the Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie sounds like a delicious new option worth trying.
