McDonald's Officially Confirms Fan-Favorite Snack Wrap is Returning Next Month
McDonald's announced the long-awaited return of its Snack Wrap, set to hit menus nationwide on July 10, 2025, in spicy and ranch varieties.
A heartfelt social media post credited fans for the comeback, celebrating years of petitions, tweet streaks, and drive-thru requests.
A microsite, The Snack Wrap Files, teases more content to come, including fan emails, behind-the-scenes clips, and promo codes.McDonald's has heard all of the hundreds, and maybe millions, of fan prayers – and they have officially been answered.
On Tuesday, June 3, the fast food giant announced on social media the date that the fan-favorite Snack Wrap will be returning to menus nationwide. The caption of the 16-slide carousel post reads, 'Got emotional typing this. snack wrap is back 07.10.25.' Following the first image, which also showcases the date in all its glory, is a sentimental note from the McDonald's social media manager.
'I don't usually do this, and i didn't run this by brian from legal (sorry brian). but i have something to say. not as mcdonald's but as the person behind the mcdonald's account,' the Notes App screenshots began. 'I once posted, 'social media managers don't control the menu.' as much as i hated admitting it at the time, it's true. i even got a plaque made of it put on my desk. i also don't control the bitcoin price even though you think the McRib is responsible, but i digress.'
The note continues, 'Yes, i could post about the Snack Wrap, tease you with tweets like 'bring back____' (knowing exactly what you'd say). And even manifest for its return. but i couldn't bring it back. you know who could bring it back? YOU.'
The social media manager went on to write that it was the fans of the menu item – with comments under every social media post, petitions, asks in the drive-thrus, rallies and 100-day-long tweet streaks begging for its return – that influenced the fast food chain to bring the wrap back.
'I cheered you on from behind the screen and made it my mission to never stop fighting for you. i made 486 decks on 'reasons why to bring back the Snack Wrap' (i counted),' the note said. 'You created a movement. A movement so powerful that you finally won.'
In the final screenshot of the note, the social media manager mused about how much they love their job and how proud they are to announce the Snack Wrap's return. 'It's the honor of my lifetime to finally say…the Snack Wrap is back. Because of YOU. see you 07.10.25,' the note ends, and leads to the collection of photos and videos of fans professing their love for the food item across social media platforms and to drive-thru operators.
The Snack Wrap will return in two flavors, spicy and ranch. The Spicy option delivers the same habanero kick that fans enjoy in the Spicy McCrispy sandwich, whereas the Ranch wrap is rich and savory, with hints of garlic and onion.
Along with the announcement, McDonald's released the Snack Wrap Files. The website, which has a countdown in the top-right corner of the screen that's suspiciously counting down to June 9, is a collection of locked folders labeled presumably by each's contents.
On the day of the announcement, the only folders unlocked are 'The Fandom,' which houses nearly 30 email requests all requesting the discontinued Snack Wrap; 'BTS' filled with images of the team creating the marketing for the release; and 'Media Materials' that has a Frequently Asked Questions section and a video from McDonald's US President Joe Erlinger.
The other notable folders that are expected to be unlocked at a later date include Reaction Clips, Merch Concepts, Internet Emails, Promo Codes, Playlist, Voice Note and Credits.
McDonald's first teased the return of the Snack Wrap on X/Twitter back in April. The ominous post on its official account read, '0x.14.2025,' omitting the month.
The Snack Wrap originally debuted on McDonald's menus in the U.S. in 2006 before being discontinued in 2016. The fan-favorite item consisted of chicken, shredded lettuce and shredded cheese covered in either ranch or honey mustard, wrapped inside a warm tortilla.

McDonald's Just Added a Brand-New Burger to Their Menu -- And Fans Couldn't Be Happier
McDonald's Just Added a Brand-New Burger to Their Menu -- And Fans Couldn't Be Happier originally appeared on Parade. More so than most iconic fast food chains across the globe, McDonald's is always finding new ways to bring back certain fan-favorite menu items while also testing out brand-new products. Fresh off the success surrounding the long-awaited return of the widely loved Snack Wrap, McDonald's has just introduced an exciting new spin on the classic burger formula with their Daily Double Burger. In many ways, the Daily Double Burger offers a fairly traditional burger recipe involving layers of double-patty burgers, gooey cheese, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, diced onions and a healthy smear of creamy mayonnaise. While it might not sound like McDonald's has entirely reinvented the wheel with this new burger, it's worth noting the key differences that separate the Daily Double Burger from most other products on McDonald's menus. In particular, the Daily Double Burger is one of the few burgers offered at McDonald's that utilizes mayonnaise in lieu of the restaurant's signature ketchup and mustard topping combo. Additionally, it's one of the only new burgers to come equipped with lettuce and mayo -- an honor typically reserved for iconic McDonald's fare like Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe and, of course, the Big Mac. In its earliest incarnation, the Daily Double Burger was tested out in select McDonald's locations in Miami, Chicago and Seattle earlier this year. After a successful testing phase, the item quietly expanded to nationwide McDonald's locations starting on June 26. Dedicated patrons of McDonald's will be able to secure the Daily Double Burger from now until the end of 2025. Additionally, the burger will soon find itself taking center stage in the McValue Meal Deal combo. In said platter, diners can order the double-patty burger, french fries, Chicken McNuggets and an accompanying beverage for as little as $6 or $7, depending on the specific location of the restaurant in question.

Forget the Whopper, Burger King is launching a wild new sandwich
As July draws near and with it, some of the hottest days of the year, people will be outside on the weekends more than ever, enjoying the sunshine with friends and family. For many, that means grabbing a meal on the go - something fast-food chains anticipate all year. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter For summer, beloved chains like McDonald's and Burger King (QSR) tailor their offerings to the season. Burgers and fries may be the main event, but when the temperatures are in the 90s, menu items that help you stay cool matter. You can count on just about all the chains to lean into frosty drinks and desserts, for obvious reasons. Related: Wendy's menu adds something McDonald's, Burger King won't offer But another tactic some brands use is to debut an entirely new menu item just to shake its customers up and pique their curiosity. And if it happens to also be unusual enough to capture the attention of TikTok and go viral, like the Dubai chocolate bar recently did, you just might have a hit on your hands. That's what Burger King is hoping to get with the release of its latest burger, which is different enough that it's sure to capture people's attention. In a tweet shared on the official Burger King Japan account on June 30, the fast-food chain announced a new sandwich in collaboration with the Japan Sumo Association. Called the Baby Body Burger, Burger King describes the limited-edition sandwich as "Yokozuna-class." This refers to the top skill tier of sumo wrestlers, of which there have been less than 100 since the term was coined in the early 1900s. The burger boasts five of the chain's signature flame-broiled patties, two slices of cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a creamy sauce. Related: Forget the Whopper, Burger King has a wild new burger The burger will be released on July 11 and will cost 2,590 yen ($17.96 U.S.) on its own or 2,890 yen in a combo ($20.04 U.S.), making it the priciest fast-food option in the market. It's also 1,876 calories, making it the highest-calorie item on Burger King's menu. Burger King will also sponsor the Japan Sumo Association for the Nagoya tournament in July. Burger King is employing an interesting strategy with its international audience, planning not one, but two collaborations this year. In addition to the Baby Body burger collaboration, the chain also released the Pickleball burger earlier this year, in collaboration with the Pickleball Japan Federation (PJF). That burger was described as a "large, American-style rice burger, with three flame-grilled 100%-beef patties sandwiched between special rice patties that have been jointly developed with Hachidaime Gihey, a long-established rice shop in Kyoto." Even though it's not a Whopper, which is the company's most successful product, this burger resonated with the Japanese audience, which has responded positively in the past to burgers with rice buns instead of bread. CEO Josh Kobza mentioned the strength of its international business in a recent earnings call. "I think when you look at the Burger King brand in international, it's a bit different," he said. "It has some really great qualities it to grow so well. We've got a strong brand positioning," he said. "We've got modern restaurants in almost all of our markets."

Wendy's adds old-school toys to take on McDonald's Happy Meal
As little kids, nothing was better than getting a "free" toy with your food. It didn't matter if the toy was a simple collectible baseball card inside a cereal box or an exclusive Tamagotchi inside a McDonald's Happy Meal. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Sometimes, we would only take a few bites of the food, because at the end of the day, we were too distracted playing with our new toy to eat, unless you had strict parents who wouldn't allow you to open the toy until you had finished all your food. Nonetheless, kids are very persuasive, and because many restaurants and fast-food chains know kids love receiving a surprise with their meal, they have invested time and resources into launching exciting limited-time toys. Related: McDonald's brings back experimental menu item 13 years later As the pioneer of the fast-food kids' meal trend, it's no surprise that McDonald's sells over 1 billion Happy Meals annually worldwide, which accounts for a big part of its sales. Others have followed in the fast-food giant's footsteps by launching their own versions of the iconic Happy Meal, but none have yet to reach McDonald's fame. However, a long-time player has begun prioritizing its Kids' Meal by joining forces with a popular toy maker that kids love. Image source:Wendy's (WEN) is partnering with toy company Hasbro (HAS) to launch a new line of Kids' Meal toys featuring Potato Head, a beloved character from the Disney (DIS) film Toy Story. This new collection of toys comprises 12 different Potato Head characters dressed in various costumes. However, this launch is unlike any others, because Wendy's is giving customers two toys, which can be mixed and matched, per meal purchased. Related: McDonald's menu adds new version of a much-mocked classic This move might be a savvy way for the fast-food chain to encourage people to visit Wendy's more often. If each purchase comes with a different set, collecting all six would only take six visits or six Kids' Meals. The new Wendy's Potato Head Kids' Meal collection is available for a limited time at all participating U.S. and Canadian restaurants while supplies last. Wendy's knows consumers' budgets have been a bit tighter due to the current uncertain economy. So the fast-food chain has unlocked a new in-app deal to make purchasing a kids' meal more affordable for parents.
