McDonald’s unveils trading cards featuring fan favorites
McDonald’s is getting into the trading card game with fan favorites like Grimace, Fry Girl, and Ronald McDonald.
McDonald’s UK is entering the trading card game with its first original collectibles promotion, introducing 24 branded cards available nationwide. They combine well-known brand icons, familiar menu items, and exclusive designs created specifically for this campaign, allowing fans to trade, potentially compete with each other, win prizes, and, hopefully, receive a signed “Legendary Golden Arches Card.”
With the official trailer already out and no details about the cards yet, McDonald’s is ensuring that collectors will have the opportunity to take on the challenge and get them all.
McDonald’s cards will be available in UK restaurants from March 17, 2026, and currently have no expiration date, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to take advantage of future issues.
What cards are available?
Many of the McDonald’s cards are still unknown, but we do know a few that will be available at launch. More are expected to be announced closer to the launch date:
- Legendary Golden Arches Card
- Grimace
- Fry Girl
- Cheeseburger Chair
- Milkshake Dip
- McDonalds Multimixer
- Ronald McDonald
How to get cards?
At the moment, McDonald’s has not revealed exactly how fans can get hold of these cards. However, if it’s anything like their previous promotions with Pokémon cards, we expect to see these inside a certain meal or as a reward for purchasing a specific item on their menu.
It’s worth noting that these trading cards are rated 18+, so it’s unlikely we’ll see them in a Happy Meal set, as it’s mainly aimed at kids.
