Starting Monday, McDonald’s is offering free food each day until Christmas—menu items like Big Macs, six-piece McNuggets, Egg McMuffins and medium fries will be free as long as you spend at least $1 and make the order through their app. This isn’t a free lunch, but it’s pretty close.
Each day, the promotion will feature a menu item that ties in with a holiday character from pop culture, like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Buddy the Elf, The Griswolds, Scrooge, and Frosty the Snowman (whose tie-in menu item is a McFlurry…get it?).
Customers can redeem their free meal by clicking on the “Free Daily Holiday Deals” banner on the homepage of the McDonald’s app. Once they’ve made an order at a nearby McDonald’s location, they can pick up their free menu item as part of their order.
Notably, on Christmas Eve, the fast food chain will be giving out free soft-baked Chocolate Chip Cookies and it’s actually free (it’s the only freebie in the promotion that does not require a minimum $1 purchase).
