Adult Happy Meals are back at McDonald's restaurants in celebration of the hit sitcom Friends' 30th anniversary .

Deadline reported that the Happy Meals will come with a choice of a Big Mac, a Quarter Pound, McRoyal Delux, CBO or McChicken and comes with a drink and fries, too. Each is served with the new, special "Monica's Marinara" sauce.

The Happy Meals are being dubbed the "Friends Box." Some McDonald's in Spain are going all out, too, with one sharing on social media that they had transformed an entire restaurant into Central Perk, the famous, made-up coffee shop from the hit series, replete with the iconic orange couch.

It's not yet clear if American locations of McDonald's will be selling the adult Happy Meals, too — as of right now, it's just Spain that will see the special event take place.
