McDonald's Shamrock Shake returns with a decades-old surprise
Briefly

McDonald's iconic Shamrock Shake is returning on February 10, featuring a nostalgic revival of Uncle O'Grimacey, who hasn't been seen in decades. This mint-flavored shake, available until March 23, supports Ronald McDonald House Charities with a donation of 25 cents per sale. The tradition dates back to 1967, with Uncle O'Grimacey created in 1975 to help promote the drink. The move aligns with McDonald's recent strategy of revisiting its classic characters to evoke nostalgia, similar to how Grimace has seen increased popularity in recent years.
Starting Monday, McDonald's famous Shamrock Shake is back in stores, about a month ahead of St. Patrick's Day, with additional offering of a nostalgic mascot.
To celebrate the Shamrock Shake return, McDonald's is reviving Uncle O'Grimacey, a character from the 1975 commercials, enhancing the nostalgic connection.
