Among the range is the brand new Hat Trick burger and a new McFlurry, which are set to be a big hit with fans.
The burger features three beef patties, two slices of cheese, grilled onions, mustard, and ketchup on a glazed sesame seed bun.
The Hat Trick is £5.89, but you can upgrade to a meal with medium fries and a drink for £7.69.
The Skittles McFlurry is a soft dairy ice cream swirled with chewy Skittles fudge pieces and sugary pearls, topped with a purple Skittles-flavoured sauce.

How to save money at McDonald's
YOU could end up being charged more for a McDonald's meal based solely on the McDonald's restaurant you choose.
Research by The Sun found a Big Mac meal can be up to 30p cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
But 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.
Make sure you check out all the various apps and platforms if you're ordering McDonald's to your home too.
