THERE was much excitement this weekend as McDonald’s unveiled its Christmas menu

But in all the talk of Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry, there was a festive favourite omission that they sneaked under the radar.

The hot Festive Pie – with mincemeat and custard – has been dropped from the menu.

Instead it has been replaced with the delicious but positively unChristmassy dessert of Chocolate Banoffee pie.

Needless to say, the fast foodies are not happy.

One outraged customer tweeted: “@McDonaldsUK - no festive pie for Christmas.... are you mad that's like a Christmas without pigs in blankets.”

Rhoda Reid added: “Where is the festive pie @McDonalds?”
