"Since the Happy Meal was introduced on the menu, it quickly became synonymous with our brand," said Steve Easterbrook, McDonald's CEO. "Today, this iconic red box creates delicious, lasting memories for billions of families annually across the world."

First introduced as a Circus Wagon Happy Meal in June 1979 nationally in the U.S., the early iterations of the Happy Meal featured a decorative box including various toys, such as a spinning top and McDonaldland character erasers. The Happy Meal global footprint has expanded to more than 38,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries around the globe — with the iconic toy still a beloved staple — serving as a symbol of surprise, playfulness and fun.

"Parents tell us how fondly they recall their favorite toys," said Colin Mitchell, McDonald's Senior Vice President, Global Marketing. "So, unboxing the Surprise Happy Meal together creates a real moment of bonding with their children. We hope these toys are something that they will treasure and remember."

In addition to creating fun moments, the Happy Meal is well-loved for providing delicious favorites like Chicken McNuggets and hamburgers. Over the years, many new, balanced choices have been added to the Happy Meal so parents can feel good about the options they're feeding their families. Globally, McDonald's has served more than 6.4 billion fruit, vegetable, low-fat dairy and water options in Happy Meals since 2013, and its commitment has evolved to the global Happy Meal goals announced in 2018.

Through this global Surprise Happy Meal event, fans of all ages are invited to join in the fun and discover what old or new favorite awaits them. Families can collect all of the 14 iconic toys when purchase any Happy Meal sets from November 8, 2019 – December 5, 2019 or until stock last at McDonald's participating restaurants and McDelivery 1711 or McDonald's website and application.
