McDonald's Canada introduces its first-ever Carrot Happy Meal® to celebrate the all-new film, Space Jam: A New Legacy Français
As part of the Space Jam: A New Legacy promotion, guests can order carrots in a Happy Meal starting July 6
TORONTO, July 6, 2021 /CNW/ - The new McDonald's Carrot Happy Meal, available now at participating restaurants nationwide for a limited time, is sure to get Canadians saying: "what's up, doc?" Launching just ahead of the upcoming release of the animated/live-action event film Space Jam: A New Legacy - which is in theatres and available to rent at home on July 16 - the Happy Meal features the option of carrots for the first time ever, and a line-up of 14 different collectible Space Jam: A New Legacy-themed Happy Meal toys.
Carrots will replace apple slices throughout the duration of the promotion, while supplies last. In addition to the collectible toy collection, McDonald's Canada will continue to offer a book option as part of the Happy Meal program. Since the book option was introduced in 2017, approximately ten million books have gone home with Canadian families.
"Since the Happy Meal came to Canada in 1994, we've added nutrition-minded choices so parents can feel good about the options they're feeding to their families," says Michelle Mcilmoyle, Senior Manager, National Marketing, McDonald's Canada. "And the Happy Meal doesn't just taste good it also does good, with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every Happy Meal being donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities® Canada. So far, Canadians have helped us raise $81 million to help keep families together while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital."
The Carrot Happy Meal is available for a limited time only in-restaurant, through the McDonald's app, at the Drive-Thru, or via McDelivery®.
That's not all, folks!
