New Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal Available at Greater Houston McDonald’s Starting July 1, 2025

For years, the Golden Arches’ youngest fans have turned living rooms into drive-thrus and backyard playhouses into McDonald’s kitchens, serving smiles with a side of imagination.

This summer, McDonald’s invites fans to experience the playful magic they love with an all-new Happy Meal®

Featuring 21 mini toys inspired by McDonald’s fan favorites, the Lil McDonald’s Happy Meal® will be available nationwide, including in Houston, from now through August 11.

From a tiny register to an itty-bitty Boo Bucket, families can bring McDonald’s to life wherever they play and create lasting memories together.

Here are more ways fans can enjoy the world of Lil McDonald’s:

  • Scan your Happy Meal box to unlock the Drive Thru Dash digital game. Choose your manager, race to take orders, and rack up points as you dash through the drive-thru.
  • Use the PlayPlace Finder in the McDonald’s App to discover nearby restaurants with play spaces.
  • Visit HappyMeal.com to download a free digital placemat and transform any table into a Lil McDonald’s play zone.
