McDonald's Just Dropped a Brand-New McFlurry Flavor — and It Comes With an Iconic Candy Mixed In

McDonald's has a brand-new McFlurry flavor for its dessert fans to try.

On July 8, the fast food giant announced it's dropping the Kit Kat Banana Split McFlurry, made with its "signature, creamy vanilla soft serve, blended with real banana, strawberry clusters, plus chocolatey, crunchy pieces of Kit Kat wafer bars in every bite." 

According to the McDonald's Menu Spotter, the new dessert will be available for purchase starting on July 10. However, it will only be available for a limited time, while supplies last, and only at participating restaurants across the United States. 

This is far from the first time that McDonald's has dropped a mash-up flavor for the ages. 

In May, McDonald's introduced its limited-time Grandma McFlurry, which it said is sweet "just like grandma," which came with chopped candy pieces that were meant to mimic all the candies you may find in your grandma's purse. In 2023, it dropped the Strawberry Shortcake McFlurry, made with vanilla soft serve, strawberry-flavored clusters, and a portion of crispy shortbread cookies mixed in. Just a few months later it also dropped the Peanut Butter Crunch McFlurry, made with vanilla soft serve, a crispy cereal mix, and chocolate peanut butter cookie pieces. It even mixed up its Shamrock Shake in 2020 for its 50th-anniversary edition, which included blended in Oreo pieces for an extra kick. 

The only thing you may have to contend with while trying to get your McFlurry fix is if your closest McFlurry machine is broken — and that happens way, way more often than fans may like. And, as Food & Wine reported in April, there's a pretty significant reason for that. 

You see, all of McDonald’s soft-serve machines are made by just one company Taylor, which also owns the copyright to every machine. That means it's also the one and only company authorized to fix it, which can lead to significant wait times for franchise owners, and significant frustration for its customers. If you don't want to risk going all the way to your nearest McDonald's to try the latest flavor, you can always check the website McBroken, which keeps track of every location’s soft-serve ice cream machine. This way, you avoid any McHeartache in the future.
