When Is McDonald’s McRib Sauce Coming Back?

As a dedicated McDonald’s enthusiast with over two decades of indulging in their iconic menu items, I can hardly contain my excitement about the much-anticipated return of the McRib Sandwich! This delectable delight has been a staple of my holiday season for years, and its temporary absences have left me yearning for that perfect blend of savory pork patty, tangy barbecue sauce, crisp pickles, and comforting bun.


There’s a lot of excitement among people wondering when McDonald’s will introduce their popular McRib Sandwich, along with its new sauce, into the U.S. market. Lately, the fast-food chain has revealed that this latest offering is intended as a special holiday gift for loyal patrons. They’ve even given a specific release date and information on where to purchase it. Here are the particulars:

McDonald’s announces return of McRib sauce

The McRib delighted McDonald’s fans for years but left the permanent menu in 2005.

The explanation given for taking it off the menu was: “Regrettably, most of our restaurants can’t grill pork and beef simultaneously due to insufficient grilling capacity” (from The Sun). Since then, the McRib has sporadically returned to U.S. markets on special occasions, giving patrons a chance to savor it for brief periods.

Excitingly, as the holiday cheer fills the air, I can’t help but share the fantastic news that the McRib is making a comeback! Starting from December 3, this fan-favorite sandwich will grace our menus, though in a more limited quantity. You can satisfy your cravings by ordering it through the McDonald’s app, visiting your nearest restaurant, or opting for the Drive-Thru convenience. Happy McRibbing, everyone!

Furthermore, McDonald’s has excited fans by introducing a fresh McRib Sauce on November 25, starting at 10:00 a.m. You can buy a special, limited-edition ½ gallon jug of “Plenty of McRib Sauce” online at www.wholelottamcribsauce.com for $19.99.

In a statement, Tariq Hassan, the top marketing and customer experience executive at McDonald’s, expressed delight over the comeback of the McRib. He highlighted the sandwich’s cultural importance and pointed out that the festive period presented an ideal moment to reintroduce it for enthusiasts.

He said, “The McRib is more than a sandwich – it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event. McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.”

Introduced in 1981, the McRib sandwich consists of a grilled pork patty topped with barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions, sandwiched between a bun. It was discontinued in 2005 but has since made recurring appearances during specific periods, including a “goodbye” tour in 2022. Now, it’s making a comeback nationwide starting December 3, accompanied by the jovial holiday tune “It Can Only Mean One Thing (McRib is Here).
