McDonald’s Friends Collaboration Makes a Comeback, Exclusively in One Country

On February 3, McDonald’s UK unveiled an exciting limited-time collaboration with the beloved sitcom Friends, offering a variety of themed meals, exclusive collectibles, and new menu items available across the country.

This promotion, developed in partnership with Warner Bros., introduces the Friends Meal to UK customers, featuring unique figurines, specially designed packaging, app-based rewards, and a fresh dipping sauce inspired by Monica Geller.

Highlights: Themed Collectibles and Menu Innovations

The Friends menu provides customers with a choice of a Big Mac, nine Chicken McNuggets, or a McPlant, each served with fries and a carbonated beverage. Available in Medium or Large sizes, each meal includes one of six character-themed collectibles representing popular characters like Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey.

This promotion marks the first time McDonald’s UK has offered six character-themed collectibles, each capturing an iconic moment from the show. Collectibles feature memorable designs such as Ross with his pet monkey Marcel, Rachel at the coffee shop, Monica cooking, Phoebe with her guitar, and Chandler and Joey alongside their distinctive chick and duck.

In addition to the collectibles, the standout item is Monica’s Marinara Sauce, a limited-time tomato-based dip infused with garlic, onion, and herbs, ideal for pairing with Chicken McNuggets and fries.

The promotion also enhances the dining experience with Friends-themed packaging on multiple items, including Chicken Shareboxes and McNuggets Shareboxes adorned with a backdrop of Joey and the New York skyline.

Additionally, McCafé cups have been redesigned to feature Central Perk-inspired graphics, while a new side item—Pizza Mozzarella Dippers—joins the menu. These breaded mozzarella sticks come with marinara dip and are presented in specially themed packaging.

Customers utilizing the McDonald’s app can enjoy extra rewards during the promotion. Those placing orders through the app may have the chance to win one of four Friends-themed mugs, showcasing iconic images such as the orange couch, Monica’s door frame, the fountain from the show’s opening credits, and the group’s favorite hangout.

This isn’t McDonald’s first collaboration with the iconic series. Back in 2024, McDonald’s Spain launched its own version of the “adult happy meal, ” which included collectible figures inspired by the show.
