Get ready for mini toys and big smiles as family fun shrinks at Macca’s with the all-new Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal – a bite-sized celebration of everything families love about McDonald’s.

Starting 28 August, the new Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal will come with 16 minis that let you take a lil piece of your favourite restaurant home.

From a mini register and itty-bitty PlayPlace to a lil Drive Thru and even a golden Happy Meal box, each pocket-sized toy is designed to spark joy and fuel imaginations.

Each toy is packed with interactive features including, push buttons, sticker sheets and collector cards – all inspired by the sights, sounds and smiles of a real McDonald’s restaurant.

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia said: “A Happy Meal has always been a moment of joy, a spark of imagination, and a shared experience for families. 

“With Lil McDonald’s, we’re celebrating the creativity of our families who’ve turned living rooms into Drive-Thrus and backyard cubbies into McDonald’s kitchens. This Happy Meal is a tribute to that make-believe magic - helping families create new memories, big and small, that last forever.”

Each Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal includes a choice of 3 or 6-piece Chicken McNuggets, Hamburger, Cheeseburger or Grilled Chicken Snack Wrap, paired with Apple Slices or Small Fries and a Small Drink, all served in a specially designed Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal box.

But hurry – these mini treasures won’t stick around forever. The Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal is available nationwide from Thursday 28 August, while stock lasts.
