This adult Happy Meal has new McNugget toys!

Who says Happy Meals are just for kids? While Happy Meals have gone through changes over the years, one thing remains the same: kids and adults love ’em! From the collectible toys to crispy Chicken McNuggets and classic fries, Happy Meals hold a special place in our hearts.

In 2015, McDonald’s introduced adult Happy Meals in partnership with Cactus Plant Flea Market. Well, they were such a hit that McD’s is back with a brand new collab, this time with artist, creative director, host, and icon Kerwin Frost. And he brought along some new McNugget Buddies.

Make space beside your Halloween McNugget pals for this “reimagined” McDonald’s throwback.

What’s in the adult Happy Meal?

This year’s adult Happy Meal (officially called the Kerwin Frost Box) has plenty of McDonald’s classics and new McNugget toys. Consumers choose between a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets and a Big Mac. Both meals come with French fries, a soda and one of six Kerwin Frost-designed McNugget Buddy collectible toys. ’90s kids, are you ready to add to your beloved collection?

Heads up: Your soda won’t come from a self-serve fountain.

Who are the new McNugget Buddies?

The new pals – Kerwin Frost, Don Bernice, Uptown Moe, Waffutu, BRRRICK, and Darla have mix-and-match outfits with unique stories.

Kerwin Frost is known as “the Mayor of Frost Way” who loves art and helps inspire the other Buddies. Prosperous Moe is an encouraging street-smart Neighborhood Hero, Darla is a soft-spoken and fearless singer, and Waffutu is an adorable optimist. BRRRICK, aka “The Cool Guy,” is a daring, pun-speaking, techno music fan and Don Bernice is “The Wise Stylist” who makes attire for all the other Buddies.

While the toys are new, the classic McNugget Buddies from Frost’s youth served as a source of inspiration.

When can I get an adult delighted meal?

The Kerwin Frost Box drops on Monday, December 11. Not too long to wait! Plus, part of the profits will go to the Harlem Arts Alliance (HAA), an organization that helps raise and empower artists. That’s an overall win-win.

If you want to add a McNugget Buddy to your collection, or would love to enjoy a nostalgic Happy Meal, don’t wait too long when the adult Happy Meals are officially out. The Kerwin Frost boxes are only available while supplies last. In other words, mark your calendar ASAP!
