Time is running out for McDonald’s fans to enjoy the limited-edition Grimace Shake before it’s gone. This unique milkshake, inspired by McDonald’s iconic purple mascot, made its UK debut in August and returned this December due to popular demand.
However, it will only be available until December 24, leaving customers with just a few days to grab one.
The Grimace Shake features a vibrant purple color and a blueberry-flavored syrup blended into McDonald’s classic creamy milkshake base.
This marks a rare departure from the chain’s traditional milkshake flavors of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Priced at £2.69 for a medium and £2.99 for a large, it’s slightly more expensive than the regular milkshake prices of £1.99 (medium) and £2.19 (large). However, prices may vary depending on location.
Fans have been raving about the unique flavor online. One satisfied customer shared, “Managed to get one after missing out last time. It was delicious,” while another noted, “Tried it for the first time just now, I’m not a fan of blueberry, but this was delicious.”
McDonald’s Adds Exciting New Menu Items

The Grimace Shake isn’t the only new addition to McDonald’s menu this season. Over the past few months, the fast-food giant has introduced several mouth-watering options.
Chilli Double Cheeseburger (£2.49): This spicy addition to the saver menu features two 100% British and Irish beef patties, two slices of cheese, onions, jalapenos, pickles, and spicy relish served in a toasted bun.
