The playable plush and clever stories based on the popular tradition give children a new way to interact with the characters from Santa’s North Pole.
Equipped with handy hooks which allow them to double as Christmas decorations, the plush Happy Meal elves and pets also come with poke-out-and-keep North Pole certificates with space for the child’s name, signed from Santa Claus himself.
There are also themed activity sheets and games available online on the McDonald’s Family Hub and an activity pack envelope for drive-through restaurant visitors. Both toy and book options are 100% sustainable as all non-sustainable plastic has been removed from McDonald’s Happy Meals.
