Pricing may vary by location, but expect to pay around $4.69 for the bacon and sausage options and around $5.39 for the steak bagel.

Spicy McNugget fans rejoice

The wait is over — Spicy Chicken McNuggets are making a fiery comeback at participating locations for a limited time only. This on-again, off-again item offers more kick than McDonald's regular nuggets thanks to a crispy coating seasoned with a signature blend of aged cayenne and chili pepper.

Be sure to check with your local McDonald's, as availability is confirmed in major cities like San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, and New York City.

Krispy Kreme meets Mickey D's

Here's a collaboration you might not have seen coming. McDonald's will be offering Krispy Kreme Doughnuts alongside their regular menu. You can expect to indulge in three Krispy Kreme doughnut varieties: original glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles, and a filled chocolate iced.

These will be available individually and in boxes of six as long as daily supplies last.
