The truth is, no one can really agree on who first invented the iconic McDonald's Happy Meal. Here's why the history behind it is so complicated.

McDonald’s is leaning into the gift-giving spirit with a limited-time two-toy Happy Meal. The company said it will sell “Pet Simulator Happy Meals” featuring two toys at participating restaurants across the country beginning Tuesday. One of the toys will be gift-wrapped, the fast-food chain said.

McDonald’s has a new toy in their Happy Meal that will give children not just one treat, but two. The fast food chain has had several coveted Happy Meal toys in the last few months. In September, children could collect mini Croc key chains.

McDonald's has a special Grinch Happy Meal available through the end of the year. But there's a catch: It's only available in the U.K. and Ireland.

McDonald's Grinch Happy Meal is now available in the UK until December 31, 2024. Find out if this festive meal will make its way to the U.S. and other regions!

If you order a Happy Meal at McDonald’s soon, though, you may notice a difference: two toys. It may seem like a stroke of good luck or a mistake, but it’s neither. Here’s the story behind McDonald’s double toy Happy Meals.
