McDonald’s is the place where lifelong memories are made with grandma. From treating you to an impromptu soft serve to letting you have dessert before dinner – grandmas always know how to make you feel special. And now, it’s her turn. McDonald’s USA is inviting fans to celebrate grandma and recreate some of those cherished moments this summer by treating themselves to a Grandma McFlurry – available starting today, May 21 for a limited time.
We are highlighing special days in our weekly trendmail and thought it would be a promotion for ‘Grandma’s Day’, but it’s not. It’s a limited time Grandma McFlurry for the summer season. A special ‘Grandma’s McFlurry Mobile’ even made stops around New York City. Inspiration: a great way to open the ice cream season! Or celebrate ‘Grandparents Day’!

Grandma McFlurry | Vanilla soft serve with syrup and crunchy candy pieces
The new Grandma McFlurry is sweet – just like grandma – and features a delicious syrup and chopped, crunchy candy pieces (like grandma’s favorite treat that she hid in her purse!) – all blended in the creamy vanilla soft serve. It’s the perfect sweet treat to share with grandma or the grandma-figure in your life.
An extra sweet way to connect with grandma
In honour of the limited-edition Grandma McFlurry, McDonald’s is giving fans another opportunity to connect with their grandma. Music has the power to bring loved ones together – especially when it’s a fresh take on a familiar tune. McDonald’s is partnering with two breakthrough artists to remake hit songs for the occasion, oldies reimagined with a new sound. Singer-songwriter Remi Wolf is covering the classic song ‘How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)’ which will be available on all music platforms on May 21. And two-time Latin GRAMMY® nominee and Puerto Rican star Jay Wheeler is creating a cover of the iconic Latin song ‘Piel Canela’.
A sweet twist on a summertime favorite | Grandma’s McFlurry® Mobile
To kick off the celebration, McDonald’s rolled out Grandma’s McFlurry Mobile – McDonald’s take on the beloved ice cream truck – offering a free, first taste of the new Grandma McFlurry before it was available in restaurants.
Last Friday, May 17 and Saturday, May 18, Grandma’s McFlurry Mobile even made stops around New York City, including senior centers and assisted living homes to create more moments of connection between grandparents – a generation that often deals with loneliness – and their families.
