McDonald’s Christmas menu 2021 reviewed: Festive pie filled with mincemeat and custard & Festive Crispy Chicken

McDonald’s announced their Christmas menu for 2021.

There is a Festive Crispy Chicken Burger which is a chicken breast fillet with cranberry sauce, sage and onion mayo, bacon, red onion, lettuce, and cheddar cheese.
For beef fans, The Festive Stack burger consists of two beef patties with a red onion relish, white cheese sauce, bacon, crispy onions, red onion, lettuce and cheddar cheese - will also be added to the menu.
Not new but the Camembert Cheese Melt Dippers are back and the Festive Pie filled with mince and custard launched in 2016 is BACK!!

The pie is quite stunning with half custard and half mince which is a rarity in UK but in other parts of the world you will find McDonalds pies with chocolate or even cherry vanilla in Switzerland.

Overall, it makes a change from apple but not my cup of tea because I am just not a mince pie fan.

As for the burgers, there was chicken or beef, however there was nothing festive in the beef except white cheese sauce so I opted for the chicken which had cranberry sauce and sage and onion mayo.

Overall it was nice but could have been nicer if I went to a different branch.

The cranberry sauce was really tart and appetizing and it was so good that I felt that the cheese dippers should come with this sauce.

Mcdonalds nailed the sage and onion mayo much better than Sainsburys because it wasn't sweet so overall it was a good burger but the fact that it was stone cold affected the taste and the cheese didn't melt.

On another day, I went back for the cheese dippers and they were nice as expected but ideally it would have been nice if it came with the same cranberry sauce used in their festive burgers.

Other than that, they were good and better than mozzarella cheese dips.
