Fans will be able to pick up a new burger, Skittles McFlurry and the returning iced latte.
But with eight new items on the way, some have to come off, and one facing the chop has got fans vexed.
Twelve items in total are coming off menus, but it's the Biscoff McFlurry being dropped that's left foodies disgruntled.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, one said: "Can't you just keep the Lotus Biscoff Mcflurry permanently? That's all I ask!"

How to save money at McDonald's
You might not think it, but you can end up paying more solely based on the McDonald's restaurant you choose.
The Sun has found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
Meanwhile, you can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 by filling in a feedback survey found on any old McDonald's receipt.
The receipt should come with a 12-digit code which you can enter into the Food for Thought website alongside your submitted survey.
You'll then receive a five-digit code which is your voucher for the £2.99 offer.
