McDonald’s locations in Canada are now promoting some “holiday-inspired” sandwiches for a limited time.

First up is the Jolly Burger which features 100% Canadian beef, peppercorn sauce, melted processed white cheddar cheese, grilled onions and leaf lettuce on a toasted, cross-split premium bun topped with rolled wheat flakes.

On the chicken side of things is the new Chicken Celebration which consists of a breaded chicken patty, melted processed white cheddar cheese, crisp leaf lettuce, hickory-smoked bacon and creamy, rotisserie seasoned sauce on a toasted, cross-split premium bun topped with rolled wheat flakes.

McDonald’s Canada is also offering Peppermint Mocha, Peppermint Hot Chocolate and Ginger Cookies. The Ginger Cookies are baked fresh daily.

Never seen McD's offer Peppercorn on a burger before.

Tell me more...

 

[BertramCooper]

I'm pretty sure that by law, "holiday" sandwiches are required to contain stuffing and cranberries.

 

[Ultima_5]

I love the fact the description mentions the cheese is processed

 

[DECK'ARD]

Peppercorn sauce? Bring it to the UK immediately.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I'm interested in the jolly burger

 

[DECK'ARD]

I'm interested in the jolly burger

I'm definitely jolly for it.

 

[Elitist1945]

FYI the chicken patty is literally a McChicken patty.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

The Jolly Burger sounds pretty good for McD's

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Oooooo I'd eat that

 

[Entropia]

I saw a sign for it yesterday as I was driving around. Had no idea what it was, figured I'd see a thread on here about it!

I'd probably try it.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I love the fact the description mentions the cheese is processed

But is it Canadian processed cheese or American processed cheese?

 

[Jeff Albertson]

I don't like beef burgers that much and the chicken specials are nearly always chicken bacon and a marginally different sauce, mix it up a bit McDonalds!

U.K. Here though

 

[StudioTan]

I've had both and both are really tasty. The Jolly burger is probably the best burger they have right now, love the peppercorn sauce.

 

[Parch]

I'm assuming these are at the premium prices as well.
I might just go all-in with a complete holiday special meal. I assume they have a holiday McFlurry to go with those cookies.

 

[chaobreaker]

I had those ginger cookies they're pretty legit.

 

[off duty ninja]

...and creamy, rotisserie seasoned sauce...

Uhh, wut??

 

[Korigama]

I don't know why, but I see the sandwich doing ¯\_(&#12484_/¯ when I look at this picture.

 

[Charcoal]

And the U.S. gets cheese sticks. Blah

The Mighty Angus is the best burger they have right now. I have like 1 a day.

Spoiler

Because I work there.

 

[The Albatross]

Looks damn good, sounds damn good.

 

[K.Sabot]

grilled onions on everything i'll be fine

 

[Barrage]

The Chicken Celebration tastes identical to the McChicken (I know they use the same patty).

Now its time to get jolly.

 

[StudioTan]

It WAS the best burger, I think the Jolly burger is tastier.

 

[Akuun]

Those burgers are absolutely not gonna look like that in real life.

They'll probably be like half the size of the ones in the pictures, if that.

Here's a few real shots from their review:

 

[StalkerUKCG]

The UK ones don't which is a godsend for me because I bloody hate cranberries in a savory dish of any kind.

 

[Dicer]

Why the wheat flakes tho?

 

[doctorcdcs]

I had the Jolly Burger a couple of days ago actually. I wasn't a very big fan of it. The sauce was really sour to the point where I had to force myself to eat it. my burger also had no onions in it.

 

[MMarston]

Here's a few real shots from their review

Surprisingly looks slightly better than I expected

Wait, are you saying promotional pictures are never representative of reality?

Hook me up please.

Anyway how much is the jolly burger. Better value than two mcdoubles and a Jr chicken?

 

[LaserBuddha]

Damn, here in America, McDonalds doesn't dare use a chicken patty on a headliner sandwich. We only tolerate its continued existence so that there is a chicken sandwich option on the dollar menu. Sorry, Canada.

I work in the kitchen so I haven't a clue about menu prices lmao

 

[NoblesseOblige]

My brain decided to insert 'rancher' into 'jolly burger' and made me sick to think of it. Good job , brain.

Your American chicken patties are not the same as the ones in Canada. What you guys call a McChicken we call a Jr Chicken, and it tastes completely different.

 

[jstripes]

I love the fact the description mentions the cheese is processed

I think they have to say that by law.

 

[drunkendonuts]

I had the chicken celebration last week, it was pretty mediocre. But it was better than the mclobster, which I tried for the first time earlier this year.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Here's a few real shots from their review:

Yup... looks dried out, sloppy and gross, as one would expect.

 

[Joeku]

Just tried the Jolly Burger. It tastes exactly why you think it would. Not bad.

But a combo with fries and a drink comes to almost $9.50. McDicks in Canada ain't what it once was.

 

[TastyOreoFriend]

So how is 100% Canadian beef? We don't get much of that

Spoiler

none

here in Florida.

 

[Joeku]

It's a lot more polite than American beef.

Spoiler

I genuinely don't know. There's probably some small difference to taste, but ground beef never doesn't taste like ground beef to me no matter where it's from.

 

[old manatee]

Mmmm..processed cheese.

 

[_DrMario_]

I had the Chicken Celebration yesterday and I liked it a lot.

 

[zer0blivion]

I tried both. The chicken one was good, but the burger was awful. That peppercorn sauce is disgusting.

 

[DJ_Lae]

What a weird holiday special.

Mary Brown's released a holiday chicken burger, and sure maybe they should have left the cranberry sauce separate rather than mixing it with the mayo into a weird pink slurry, but it was delicious anyway.

Massive hunk of chicken, cranberry mayo and stuffing.

Errr, why is the pickle chip on the top?

 

[Bear]

I love the fact the description mentions the cheese is processed

They have to, it can't be legally marketed as just "cheese".

While I wouldn't use processed cheese for anything else, it's actually pretty well suited for burgers because of its mild, salty flavor and consistency when melted.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Errr, why is the pickle chip on the top?

No idea, I always eat it first. Guess it's just a garnish.

 

[Dartastic]

Uhh, wut??

I was thinking the same thing. WTF is "Rotisserie seasoned sauce"?
