Starting September 10, McDonald's is introducing the Mini McFlurry, offering a smaller serving of the beloved treat at participating U.S. locations. Fans can enjoy classic flavors like OREO® or M&M'S® in this new mini size, perfect for those looking for a quick indulgence or to share with friends.

In addition, McDonald's is enhancing sustainability by replacing plastic lids with eco-friendly four-flap cups for both Mini and Regular McFlurries. This change is part of the company’s goal to use 100% renewable or recycled materials in packaging by 2025.

“Packaging updates like this matter,” said Michael Gonda, SVP, Chief Impact Officer of North America for McDonald's. “Not only is this a fun new way for our U.S. fans to enjoy the McFlurry; we're also moving one step closer to fulfilling our packaging and waste commitments.”
