Cancel Christmas: McDonald’s SCRAP the Festive Pie from their 2016 seasonal menu
MCDONALD’S have broken the hearts of pie fans across the UK by not reissuing their iconic Festive Pie for 2016.
McDonald's have not included the Festive Pie in their seasonal menu for 2016
Their Christmas menu launches on Wednesday, but this year will not include the usually popular Festive Pie.
Fast-food fans took to Twitter in their droves to comment on the lack of the pie on the menu.
One wrote: “No festive pie for Christmas…are you mad? That’s like a Christmas without pigs in blankets.”
Another said: “McDonald’s has scrapped its classic Festive Pie and Christmas is ruined.”
A spokeswoman for McDonald’s hinted that this was not the end for the Festive Pie in a statement.
She said: “We know our customers love our Chocolatey Banoffee Pie so we are delighted to be bringing it back, as well as two new products including the Festive Cheese Feast and Terry's Chocolate Orange McFlurry.
"We've not forgotten about the Festive Pie and it may be back on the menu in future. Watch this space!"
The McDonald’s festive menu was announced last week and includes some delicious treats for fans.

Last week the burger joint launched the Spice Cookie Latte.
The rest of the menu includes the Festive Cheese Feast, which is simply a fancy smoked bacon cheeseburger.
Also on the menu is the Spicy Chicken Winter Melt, which boasts a crispy chicken burger layered with Emmental cheese and fire roasted red pepper sauce.
Then there is the Cheese Melt Dippers made with Camembert and served with a tomato based dip.

And for dessert there will be a return of the Chocolatey Banoffee Pie.
But new to the menu this year is the very festive Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry.
The festive menu comes after TV programme ‘Tricks of the Restaurant Trade’ revealed McDonald’s Big Macs are less calorific than so-called ‘healthy’ sushi sets on the high street.
The show’s presenters Kate Quinton and Simon Rimmer discovered some sushi boxes are more calorific than Big Macs, while others contain as many carbohydrates as seven and a half slices of white bread.
