As for McDonald's one holiday-themed dessert is already back on the menu at some locations.
The "holiday pie," filled with custard and glazed with sugar and rainbow sprinkles, returned to menus at select McDonald's locations on Wednesday.
Originally debuting in 1999, the seasonal dessert has sporadically popped back onto menus during the wintertime since then, including last year.

Due to the pie's limited availability, be sure to check the menu for your local restaurant by calling ahead or visiting the McDonald's app to avoid disappointment at the drive-thru.
