McDonald's launches ‘top-tier' new McFlurry flavor to celebrate dessert's 30th anniversary — but there's a catch
McDonald's is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the McFlurry with a brand-new flavor. The Birthday Cake McFlurry, made with creamy vanilla soft serve and blended with frosted cake-flavored confetti cookie dough pieces and birthday cake-flavored syrup, has landed in stores — but there's a catch. Given that the confection was originally created in Canada, the special-edition flavor is not available in America. 'Yes … I know you're shocked, but McDonald's has given Canada yet another amazing McFlurry flavor as we sit with the two that we always get,' food blog Snackolator quipped. The American Instagrammer lamented that Canadian Mickey D's had an Apple Cake McFlurry tied to 'A Minecraft Movie' as well as a 'Cadbury Egg McFlurry just in the last month … Just throwing that out there,' they snarked. Though it's disappointing that McDonald's locations in America won't be getting 'one of the best new flavors,' it's no surprise given the origins of the McFlurry. The beloved treat was created by a Canadian McDonald's franchisee named Ron McLellan in Bathurst, New Brunswick, in 1995. According to a McDonald's fan page, the original McFlurry flavors included Oreo, Nestlé Crunch, M&M's and Butterfinger, and the shake menu has since expanded to over 20 flavors worldwide. As of now, there are no talks of the Birthday Cake McFlurry moving to the US anytime soon — but Delish noted that the fast-food franchise has a history of bringing Canadian menu items to America, so it's not entirely out of the question. Canadian McDonald's fans can't wait to get their hands on the newest addition to the menu. 'Wait this might actually change my life,' one comment read. 'This is a sweet way to celebrate,' another wrote. 'I had it. Definitely a top-tier flavor,' another lucky customer noted.

Is McDonald's open on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday in the UK?
The Easter bank holiday weekend often sees businesses reduce their opening hours, but is that the case for McDonald's? Mainly, members of the public are interested in knowing the opening hours for supermarkets over this period. Quite a few will reduce their hours on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, such as Asda and Tesco. Meanwhile, some will close entirely on Easter Sunday, such as with the likes of Aldi and Lidl this year. Any shop bigger than 280 square metres must be closed on Easter Sunday by law, The Metro reports. This is according to government rules on retailers' trading hours in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland is the exception, where many stores will remain open, operating under Sunday trading hours. As a result, many larger supermarkets will be shut on Easter Sunday before opening up for slightly adjusted hours on Easter Monday. However, some might not be so familiar with the schedules of food outlets like McDonald's and how they operate over this Easter weekend. The vast majority of McDonald's stores around the UK will be open on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Many will be operating on their normal hours for a Sunday and Monday, but there may be slight variations depending on the branch. There's no standard opening time for McDonald's in the UK, so it's best to check your local restaurant's specific hours using their branch finder. If you do fancy heading to a McDonald's on Easter Sunday or Easter Monday, there are a few new items that have been released this year.
