McDonald’s is kicking off the holiday season with an exciting collaboration with Netflix to celebrate the release of Squid Game Season 2, set to premiere on December 26. This partnership brings fans of the hit Korean series a unique dining experience: the Macca’s Squid Game Meal, available for a limited time.
The meal includes a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets paired with a specially crafted Korean BBQ sauce, a side of fries, and a drink. To add an extra thrill, the meal comes with the iconic Dalgona Candy from the series, inviting fans to relive the intense challenge of carving out intricate designs without breaking the candy—just like in the show.

To further engage fans, McDonald’s has introduced an interactive promotion through its MyMacca’s App. Customers can participate in the Dalgona Candy challenge for a chance to win an exclusive Squid Game green player tracksuit. Those who manage to perfectly carve out the McDonald’s iconic “M” logo will also be entered into a draw to win a grand prize of $100,000.
For an added touch of nostalgia, the meals are packaged in adult-sized boxes featuring Squid Game characters and symbols. Each week of the promotion will showcase a new candy shape, giving fans the opportunity to collect all four designs.
The Macca’s Squid Game Meal and Challenge will be available nationwide from Wednesday, December 11, 2024, through Tuesday, January 7, 2025, or while supplies last.
This collaboration highlights McDonald’s knack for blending pop culture with its menu, making the Squid Game Meal not just a treat for food lovers but a must-have for fans of the global TV phenomenon.
