The weather outside may be frightful, but the spirit at McDonald’s is sooo delightful. This December, they are kicking off the holidays and inviting fans to celebrate the season with friends and family in the best way \u2013 by sharing McDonald’s. They introduce the SZN of Sharing, a first-of-its kind holiday celebration happening exclusively on the McDonald’s App. From Dec. 5-25, McDonald\u2019s USA are bringing you (and your crew) daily deals on your favorite menu items, cozy-yet-cool merch drops, and even the chance to win the iconic McGold Card (iykyk).<\/p>\n

We think that fans all over the world are a bit jealous of the American fans who have the change of winning the McGold Card!<\/em><\/p>\n

Dreaming of a McGold Card<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What would you do if you had a McGold Card aka free McDonald’s<\/a> for life? Treat your work bestie to a morning McCaf\u00e9\u00ae coffee pick-me-up? Surprise your neighbors with mid-week McNuggets? Delight unsuspecting folks behind you in the Drive Thru with free dinner?<\/p>\n

This holiday season, there’s only one way to find out! Starting Dec. 5, every purchase using the McDonald’s App gets you one step closer to scoring a card not just for you, but also three of your besties, too (because as true fans know, McDonald’s just tastes better when shared).\u00a0“Our fans have been fascinated by the lore of the McGold Card and if it really exists. And now, we’ll make this McDonald’s legend a reality for our fans by giving them the ultimate holiday gift \u2013 a chance to win a card and then share access to it with three of their family or friends,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “Just by using the McDonald’s App, everyone can experience the joy that comes with sharing McDonald’s this holiday season.”<\/p>\n

Deck the halls with McDonald’s merch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For fans who want to spread holiday cheer all year round, a $1 minimum purchase in the app gives you access to two exclusive merch drops on Dec. 7 and 14. The best part? The merch is perfect for you to enjoy with your squad \u2013 from hanging matching stockings to twinning in matching PJs.<\/p>\n

The Dec. 7 merch drop will include Chicken McNuggets\u00ae stockings (RIGHT?!), McDonald’s Dream Order PJs, a McDonald’s AM Wrapper Hoodie and PM Wrapper Hoodie in Egg McMuffin\u00ae or Cheeseburger prints, and a puzzle featuring your favorite McDonald’s dipping sauces.<\/p>\n

On Dec. 14, in partnership with Diamond Supply Co.\u00ae, the McDonald’s merch drop will feature Hamburglar graphic tees, a hoodie and a beanie.<\/p>\n
