McDonald’s doesn’t officially have a “secret menu,” but fans around the world love creating and sharing custom hacks — and early rumours for January 2026 in the UK are already circulating online. While none of these items are confirmed by McDonald’s itself, the leaks and social posts suggest a handful of custom fan favourites are gaining traction.
Here’s what McDonald’s fans are talking about:
- Surf ’N’ Turf Burger — A mash-up style burger combining beef and crispy chicken (or a fish fillet where available), layered with cheese and special sauce. Fans say it’s ideal for people who can’t decide between two classics in one go.
- Chicken Cheeseburger — A twist on the standard cheeseburger, swapping the beef patty for McDonald’s crispy chicken while keeping the classic cheeseburger flavor profile. It’s essentially a hybrid between a cheeseburger and a chicken sandwich.
- Espresso Shake — Coffee lovers have been combining McDonald’s soft serve with a shot of espresso or espresso-flavoured syrup to make a caffeinated sweet treat. It’s similar in vibe to a coffee milkshake, and early posts claim it’s especially good with caramel.
- Big Mac Sauce Dip — Rather than a full burger, this hack turns the iconic Big Mac sauce into a dipping option. Fans dunk nuggets, fries or even hash browns into extra Big Mac sauce for a flavour boost.
- Apple Pie Mini McFlurry — A dessert hack mixing crushed bits of McDonald’s apple pie into a vanilla soft serve or McFlurry base. According to fans, it adds texture and a warm fruit flavour to the classic soft-serve dessert.
It’s important to stress that McDonald’s hasn’t confirmed these items as official menu additions. These are fan-created combos and hacks getting attention on social media and in fan forums heading into January 2026. As ever with “secret menu” talk, availability and experience can vary by location.
