As the holiday season approaches, McDonald’s is preparing to delight fans with the much-anticipated return of the iconic McRib sandwich. Set to make its comeback on December 3, this beloved menu item promises to satisfy cravings just in time for the festivities.

This year, McDonald’s is adding a unique twist to the McRib experience by introducing a limited-edition product: A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce. This half-gallon jug of the signature McRib sauce is designed to enhance holiday gatherings, making it an ideal addition to festive recipes or as a memorable stocking stuffer for McRib enthusiasts.

“The McRib is more than just a sandwich; it has become a cultural phenomenon, a legendary event that fans eagerly anticipate,” said Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “With McRib SZN being a holiday in its own right, we wanted to celebrate it in a bigger way this year, giving our fans a chance to enjoy A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.”

Starting November 25 at 10 a.m. ET, fans can purchase the A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce jug exclusively online for $19.99 at www.wholelottamcribsauce.com. Supplies are limited, so fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their own jug. For those who prefer the classic experience, the McRib sandwich will be available at participating McDonald’s locations, as well as through the McDonald’s App, in-restaurant, and via Drive Thru starting December 3.

This year’s McRib SZN is not just about the sandwich and sauce; McDonald’s is also rolling out a festive jingle titled “It Could Only Mean One Thing (McRib is Here).” This McRib-inspired anthem aims to kickstart the holiday season, and it will be available on all major streaming platforms soon. Fans can look forward to a variety of McRib SZN integrations across social media, entertainment, and retail channels, enhancing the celebration of this seasonal favorite.
