Grimace Shake fans, rejoice! The popular lavender-colored item is returning to McDonald's restaurants.
Now on the menu at restaurants across the Great White North, the Grimace Shake is a reprise of the special milkshake flavor that made waves across America when it originally debuted in June 2023.
The now-iconic purple drink was the first of its color at McDonald's and part of an initiative to celebrate the fictional purplish character Grimace's birthday as part of a limited-edition Grimace Birthday Meal.
The combo included the new berry-flavored purple shake in a festive cup and your choice of a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, plus fries.
It was a bit more expensive than the beloved (and currently on hiatus) $5 meal deal, but its exclusivity and social media friendliness made the special meal a hit.
Most memorably, the summertime treat sparked a viral trend, in which TikTokers pretended to die after sipping the mysterious and seemingly unnaturally flavored shake.
The biggest question, however, may be whether Canadians (and those willing to travel to Canada for another sweet sip of Grimace shake) dare to replicate to the viral Grimace videos.
McDonald's customers in Canada are also lucky enough to be treated to the chain's exclusive Remix Menu, offering fun twists and hybrids of classic menu items.
