McDonald’s invites you to celebrate cherished memories with grandma this summer by indulging in the new Grandma McFlurry, available from May 21 for a limited time. This delightful treat, reminiscent of grandma’s special touch, features a delicious syrup and crunchy candy pieces blended into creamy vanilla soft serve.
A Taste of Nostalgia
McDonald’s has always been a place where lifelong memories are made with grandma. From those spontaneous soft serve treats to letting us have dessert first, grandmas know how to make us feel special. Now, it’s her turn. We invite fans to celebrate grandma and recreate some of those cherished moments this summer by treating themselves to the Grandma McFlurry. This sweet indulgence features a delicious syrup and chopped, crunchy candy pieces (just like grandma’s favorite treat hidden in her purse) all blended into our creamy vanilla soft serve. It’s the perfect treat to share with grandma or the grandma-figure in your life.
Honoring Grandmas Everywhere
“Grandmas have always held a special place in our hearts, and today they’re having a major moment influencing culture – inspiring trends in fashion, decor, and now even food with our newest McFlurry,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “The Grandma McFlurry tastes like a trip down memory lane, and we’re excited to give our fans that experience while honoring the grandma-figure in all our lives.”
Music and Memories
To honor this limited-edition treat, McDonald’s is giving fans another opportunity to connect with their grandmothers through music. McDonald’s is partnering with two breakthrough artists to remake hit songs for the occasion. Singer-songwriter Remi Wolf is covering the classic song “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You),” available on all music platforms on May 21. Additionally, two-time Latin GRAMMY® nominee and Puerto Rican star Jay Wheeler is creating a cover of the iconic Latin song “Piel Canela.”
Grandma’s McFlurry Mobile
To kick off the celebration, McDonald’s is launching Grandma’s McFlurry Mobile – McDonald’s take on the beloved ice cream truck. This special truck will offer a free first taste of the new Grandma McFlurry before it’s available in restaurants. Listen for the familiar McDonald’s jingle as the truck makes its way around the city on May 17 and 18, stopping at various locations around New York City, including senior centers and assisted living homes. This initiative aims to create more moments of connection between grandparents and their families, especially for a generation that often deals with loneliness.
Supporting the Elderly
In honor of this heartwarming campaign, McDonald’s will also donate to Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly, a national organization dedicated to supporting older adults experiencing isolation and loneliness. This gesture further underscores McDonald’s commitment to fostering connections and celebrating the invaluable role grandmas play in our lives.
Conclusion
Whether she is your Grams, Abuela, Oma, Lola, Halmoni, or Yiayia, recreate some of your favorite memories with McDonald’s new Grandma McFlurry starting May 21, while supplies last. McDonald’s continues to be the place where lifelong memories are made, and this summer, it’s all about celebrating the special bond with grandma.
