McDonald's is bringing its iconic Shamrock Shake to the UK for a limited time, marking the first time this beloved milkshake will be available in the country. The vibrant green treat will be available from March 12th to March 25th and will support Ronald McDonald House Charities UK.

McDonald's fans in the UK have long been clamoring for the arrival of the iconic Shamrock Shake, a beloved menu item from the US. Their wishes are finally coming true, as the vibrant green milkshake is set to make its UK debut. This limited-time treat will be available for just two weeks, from Wednesday, March 12th to March 25th. The Shamrock Shake, a blend of peppermint-flavored syrup and creamy vanilla, follows the success of the Grimace Milkshake, which took the UK by storm in 2024.

The purple milkshake went viral on TikTok, sparking a unique challenge and selling out quickly upon its release. While the price of the Shamrock Shake is yet to be confirmed, it is anticipated to be similar to the Grimace Shake, which cost £2.69 for a medium and £2.99 for a large. Beyond the novelty of trying a cult classic, purchasing a Shamrock Shake at participating restaurants will contribute to a worthy cause. McDonald's will donate 20p from each sale to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK, a charity that provides free accommodation for families with children in hospitals. McDonald's is a founding and forever partner of this charity. In the US, the Shamrock Shake enjoys widespread popularity, with many expressing their adoration for the drink online. On X, users like @russbus_18 hailed it as 'the greatest McDonald's creation ever,' while @slime_belief1 shared their lifelong tradition of enjoying a Shamrock Shake every year during its limited availability. Others described it as 'legendary,' 'delicious,' and 'amazing.' However, not all were fans, with some finding the taste akin to 'toothpaste.'The Shamrock Shake has a rich history dating back to 1967 when it was first created by a McDonald's operator in Connecticut. By 1970, it was available at several locations across the US, and its sales contributed to the construction of the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia in 1974. It wasn't until 2012 that the milkshake became available nationwide across the USA. The drink's popularity led to the introduction of variations, including a chocolate version in 2017. This marks the first time the Shamrock Shake will be available in the UK, a testament to its enduring appeal. Ahead of the Shamrock Shake launch in March, McDonald's fans have more exciting menu items to anticipate. Starting February 12th, three fan-favorite items, including a previously lauded burger, will be making a comeback
