It's Official: McDonald's Snack Wraps Are Making a Long-Awaited Return to Menus This Summer
Much like your first love, you never forget a discontinued fast food item. (For instance, not a day goes by that I don't long for the warm embrace of a Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell—RIP, friend.) The most collectively missed menu staple, though, is no doubt the McDonald's Snack Wrap. If you're one of the thousands of people who petitioned for its resurrection, you're in luck: McDonald's just announced that they're making a comeback this summer. The fast food chain shared a no-frills screenshot of a post from the McDonald's X account to Instagram that reads 'snack wrap 07.10.2025' this morning. The caption was simple too: 'got emotional typing this. snack wrap is back 07.10.25.' Snack Wraps initially hit menus in 2006. After a ten-year reign, they were pulled from most U.S. stores. While their permanent (yes, permanent!) return is undeniably exciting for the masses, the selection is a bit different this time. Formerly, they were available with crispy or grilled chicken and either ranch or honey mustard dressing. Now, they'll only come crispy—with one McCrispy Strip, to be exact—and with spicy or ranch dressing. They'll still have shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and a flour tortilla like they did before. McDonald's I had the pleasure of tasting the new-and-improved McCrispy Strips in April when they launched, so I can vouch for the chicken in the new wraps. I was kind of shocked by how juicy and tender the meat was, especially since I had them delivered. As for the breading, it was very crisp and well-seasoned. It wasn't excessively salty, and it was slightly oniony and black pepper-forward. I was a crispy ranch Snack Wrap girl back in the day, so I can't wait to taste it again on July 10. I'm excited to try the spicy iteration too, made with the same habanero-kissed sauce that comes on the Spicy McCrispy chicken sandwich. Now, if only they'd bring back my beloved strawberry sundae… This Fast Food Chain Makes the Best Burgers (and You're Sleeping on Them)
