They include a brand-new Terry's Chocolate Orange pie - a rich ganache made out of the iconic festive chocolate, encased in a crispy chocolate pastry.
The sweet treat will be available for £1.99.
A previous version was a hit with customers, with one taking to X, saying: "That was dreamy."
Sam Walker, a consumer reporter for The Sun, raved about the new pie in an exciting taste test of the fast food chain's Christmas menu before its release.

Upon trying the snack, he said: "Really love warm chocolate ganache and then juxtaposed with the crispiness of the coating. That's really nice that."
He rated it four out of five, even adding that it actually "beat the original".
The second brand-new addition is the Cheesy McCrispy - which will cost £5.99 or £7.79 as part of a meal.
This is a twist on the classic McCrispy, with additional condiments like crispy onions, cheese slices and a pink pickled onion chutney.

Sam rated this a respectable 3 out of 5, saying the "gourmet uplift" just had a little too much going on.
As well as these two new items, there are also several returning Christmas classics.

The Cheese Melt Dippers with tomato sauce are also back after they were temporarily dropped from menus at the start of 2024.

How do I find my nearest McDonald's?
