Fans can currently get a pocket-size piece of McDonald’s with the Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal mini toys.
For years, the Golden Arches’ youngest fans have turned living rooms into drive-thrus and backyard playhouses into McDonald’s kitchens, serving smiles with a side of imagination. This summer, the fast food company is bringing fans the make-believe magic they love with the Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal, offering 21 miniature toys.
Each Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal unlocks a world of endless play with a McDonald’s order and one of 21 mini toys inspired by what families see at the restaurants. From a teeny register, tiny fries to an itty-bitty Boo Bucket, people will be able to play McDonald’s like never before.
“A McDonald’s Happy Meal has always been more than just a meal – it’s a joyful tradition that creates lasting memories for both kids and adults alike,” said Anna Engel, Director of Marketing, Brand, Content & Culture for McDonald’s USA. “As a parent, there’s something magical about watching your child’s imagination come to life with these tiny toys. That’s what makes Lil McDonald’s so special. It brings back my own childhood memories of playing McDonald’s and now I get to create new ones with my kids.”
Families can recreate the Lil McDonald’s fun at home and at their local McDonald’s restaurant.

People will be able to explore toy-themed play zones, snap pics at oversized photo ops, and even dive into a Chicken McNuggets inspired ball pit. It’s McDonald’s play – in a whole new way. The experience will come to life at Santa Monica Place (Space #112) from 11:00am – 6:00pm PT each day. Entry will be free and available on a first come, first served basis.
