Out now: McDonald’s unveils ultimate Minecraft movie meals—for adults too!

McDonald’s is leveling up its partnership game with the upcoming Minecraft Movie by introducing A Minecraft Movie Meal, a limited-time menu offering designed to bring the beloved blocky world to life. While kids get their classic Happy Meals with collectible toys, it’s the adult version that’s stealing the show—because let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to snag an exclusive Nether-inspired sauce and a collectible Grimace Egg?

Each Minecraft Movie Meal includes one of six exclusive collectibles inspired by characters and items from the film: Big Mac® Crystal, Birdie Wings, Fry Helmet, Grimace Egg, Soda Potion, or Zombie Hamburglar. Even better? Each collectible comes with a code that unlocks a free Minecraft skin—so you can flex your McDonald’s drip in-game too.

The Rise of the Adult Happy Meal

Gone are the days when Happy Meals were reserved solely for kids. McDonald’s has been tapping into nostalgia and gaming culture, and A Minecraft Movie Meal is the latest evolution of that strategy. Starting April 1, adult Minecraft fans can customize their meal with a choice of a Big Mac, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, or a McSpicy Chicken Sandwich, all paired with medium fries, a drink, and the fiery Nether Flame Sauce—a limited-edition spicy chili dip inspired by Minecraft’s infamous underworld. To top it off, each meal comes in pixelated packaging and includes one of six collectible items, each with a scannable code unlocking exclusive in-game content.

This isn’t McDonald’s first foray into adult Happy Meals. The brand saw massive success with its Cactus Plant Flea Market Box in 2022 and its Grimace Birthday Meal in 2023. But with this Minecraft collaboration, McDonald’s isn’t just leaning into nostalgia—it’s embracing an entire gaming culture that has been crafting digital McDonald’s replicas for years.

What’s inside the adult Minecraft Movie Meal?

McDonald’s has gone full Creative Mode for this drop. Each Minecraft Movie Meal includes one of six exclusive collectibles, seamlessly blending McDonald’s icons with Minecraft lore:

• Big Mac Crystal – A radiant, sauce-infused relic that would make any miner envious.
• Birdie Wings – A nod to Elytra wings, perfect for soaring across biomes.
• Fry Helmet – The ultimate defense against fry-stealing mobs (or friends).
• Grimace Egg – Straight from a purple shake and full of mystery.
• Soda Potion – A fizzy enigma that could grant unexpected boosts.
• Zombie Hamburger – A late-night creeper craving only the finest burgers.

Each collectible comes with a matching card and a unique code that unlocks a corresponding in-game skin on the Minecraft Marketplace. That means this isn’t just a meal—it’s an expansion pack for die-hard Minecraft players.

And what about the kids?

Of course, McDonald’s hasn’t forgotten about its youngest fans. The Minecraft Movie Happy Meal is also dropping on April 1, featuring one of 12 different film-inspired Blockhead and Block World toys. While the adult meal focuses on nostalgic collectibles, the Happy Meal includes characters straight from the upcoming movie, including:

• Blockheads: Pink Sheep, Bee, Skeleton, Creeper, Evoker, and Dennis.
• Block Worlds: Gold Block & Dawn, Grass Block & Llama, Redstone Block & Creeper, Diamond Block & Steve, Pink Wool Block & Pink Sheep, and Stone Block & Garrett.

The Happy Meal also comes with an activity book option and a scannable code to unlock a unique digital game experience on HappyMeal.com.

Nether flame sauce & the apple shake – The real MVPs?

For those who like their Chicken McNuggets with a kick, the Nether Flame Sauce brings the heat. Inspired by the perilous Nether dimension in Minecraft, this sauce blends cayenne and chili peppers with garlic and a hint of sweetness—arguably a better in-game potion than whatever’s brewing in the Soda Potion collectible.

And for dessert? Canada-exclusive Apple Shake, a vanilla soft-serve blend infused with apple-flavored syrup. Whether you’ve just survived The Nether or a real-life Monday, it’s the perfect cooldown treat.

Adults take the cake

While the Minecraft Movie Happy Meal is great for kids, the real buzz is around the adult meal. With exclusive in-game content, spicy sauce, and collectibles that seamlessly merge McDonald’s and Minecraft culture, it’s clear that McDonald’s understands the appeal of gaming nostalgia. Whether you’re a seasoned Minecraft builder or just in it for the Nether Flame Sauce, this meal is a winning play.

So, mark your calendars for April 1, because whether you’re building in-game or just stacking fries IRL, this is one McDonald’s drop you won’t want to miss.

White we have you… theres some other new McDonald’s Canada drops

Start your morning with the Smoky Maple Breakfast Collection, featuring a 100% Canadian maple syrup-infused sauce on your choice of a Bacon & Egg McMuffin®, Sausage & Egg McGriddles®, or Chicken McMuffin®. For a fiery kick, the Cheesy Jalapeño & Bacon Quarter Pounder® brings melty cheese, pickled jalapeños, crispy bacon, and a bold cheesy jalapeño sauce to the classic burger. And for something sweet?
