McDonald’s Canada is celebrating the joy of friendship with the launch of its Bestie Bundle meal. The meal, released on November 12, 2024, will be available for a limited time at participating Canada outlets as long as the supplies last. It includes two Junior Chicken sandwiches, two small fries, two small fountain drinks, and two friendship bracelets for $13 plus tax.

There are five collectible and tradeable friendship bracelets in the Bestie Bundle meal with fun phrases like “Live Laugh Big Mac” and “Share fries l8r?” available only while supplies last.

The bundle celebrates friendship and shared moments, whether belting out your favorite song together, cheering for your team, or laughing over favorite treats. Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing Officer of McDonald’s Canada said,

“We brought our guests the Bestie Bundle because we know that our favourite McDonald’s orders bring friends together. With the Bestie Bundle, we invite best friends everywhere to share a meal with a little something extra to remember it by.”

According to USA Today, the meal is inspired by Taylor Swift, especially the practice of trading bracelets by fans during her concerts. Food buddies can order the Bestie Bundle meal in-store or through the online app. Social media users were intrigued by the meal and they looked forward to ordering.

“I need the Live Laugh Big Mac,” a person commented on X.
“Headed there after I get Taylor merch,” a netizen mentioned.
“Only those sandwiches or can we get nuggets? My bestie and I like nuggets!” a person wrote.

McDonald’s brought back its Spicy Chicken McNugget

On November 4, 2024, MCD reintroduced its Spicy Chicken McNugget across its US restaurants in its menu for a limited-time deal. The Spicy Chicken McNuggets, available in 6, 10, 20, and 40-piece options, returned on the McDonald’s menu in select cities, including Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, and New York.

This spicy twist on the classic Chicken McNuggets features a tempura coating seasoned with cayenne and chili peppers for added heat. Introduced in 2020, the item has become a recurring favorite, reappearing several times, with its most recent quiet reintroduction in March 2024. As of 2022, the spicy nuggets are offered regionally on a limited-time basis.

Pricing starts at $3.89 for six pieces, $6.29 for ten pieces, and $8.19 for a twenty-piece order, though costs may vary by location. Additional delivery fees may apply on the McDelivery app.


The return of Spicy Chicken Nuggets coincides with the ongoing E. coli investigation linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder Burgers. The CDC is looking into the possible source, focusing on slivered onions in the burgers, as recent testing found the beef patties clear of E. coli. McDonald’s has since announced the return of these burgers to their stores.

Both Bestie Meal and Spicy Chicken Nuggets relaunch have generated excitement, with many customers expressing eagerness to try them out. For details on availability, check with local stores or the app.
