It is not uncommon for the Big Mac maker to shake up what is sold across its over 1,400 stores to make way for new items.
As many fans will already know, September saw the return of McDonald's popular Monopoly game.
To celebrate the launch the franchise added six new items to the menu, including a never-before-seen Twix Latte.
The sticker-collecting contest, which is based on the popular board game, will come to a halt on 11:59pm on October 16.

And that means the latte alongside other seasonal food items will also be axed.
While this may be a disappointment to some customers, it is also worth bearing in mind that this could be when new menu items make an appearance.
We already know that one new item is coming to stores then, but diners are still in the dark about what else could be resurfacing.
What's coming to McDonald's in October?
McDonald's has confirmed an all-new breakfast item is set to arrive in stores this October.

From Ocotber 16, the fast-food chain will start selling mini hashbrowns across its stores.
McDonald's new deal is 'bad value' - but I know a menu hack that will save money, says CouponKid Jordon Cox
The potato bites will come in either a portion of five for £1.49 or 15 for £2.29.
Maccies already sells regular-sized hashbrowns for £1.19.
Many customers have said the product reminds them of Tater Tots, which are a popular side dish in America.
Commenting on a social media post one user said: "Looks like Tater Tots to me."
"Otherwise known as a Tater Tot,"; said another.
It is still unclear whether or not the morning snack will become a permanent menu item or will only be available for a limited period.

Talk of a menu shake-up comes just weeks after Maccies hinted the McRib could once again land in stores.
A test notification for the boneless pork burger was sent out on the McDonald's rewards app.
When asked if the McRib is coming back, a spokesperson said: "McDonald’s is always looking to innovate with new and exciting menu items, as well as bringing back the fan favourites.
"If you’re keen to be the first to receive more info from McDonald’s stay tuned."
The McRib was first added to the main UK McDonald's menu in 1981 but was taken off just four years later.
It has made sporadic returns since.
What's out?
Customers will have to wave goodbye to six menu items this coming October. These include:
- Philly Cheese Stack
- Chicken Big Mac
- Mozzarella Dippers
- Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry
- Twix Caramel McFlurry
- Twix Latte
The items were rolled out across stores on September 4, in conjunction with the return of McDonald's Monopoly.
But when the game ends during the first week in October, these items will also be removed.
There are still around two weeks left to play the game, which allows participants to peel stickers that represent train stations or colour-coordinated streets.

How to save 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 30% cheaper at restaurants just two miles apart from each other.
You can pick up a Big Mac and fries for just £2.99 at any time by filling in a feedback survey found on McDonald's receipts.
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.
There are some deals and offers you can only get if you have the My McDonald’s app, so it’s worth signing up to get money off your meals.
The MyMcDonald’s app can be downloaded on iPhone and Android phones and is quick to set up.
You can also bag freebies and discounts on your birthday if you’re a My McDonald’s app user.
The chain has recently sent out reminders to app users to fill out their birthday details - otherwise they could miss out on birthday treats.
