McDonald's bringing back 'McNugget Buddy' collectibles in a new Kerwin Frost Happy Meal box


McDonald's is teaming up with artist Kerwin Frost to launch the Kerwin Frost Box, a special adult Happy Meal box that includes Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac, fries, a soft drink, and a special McNugget Buddy collectible.

The box is designed to celebrate self-expression and creativity, and the McNugget Buddies are inspired by Frost's childhood experiences.

The McNugget Buddies were first introduced in 1988 as part of a limited-time Happy Meal featuring ten different McNugget Buddy collectibles. They're best known for their wacky adventures and personalities, wild imaginations, and interchangeable outfits.

Fans in select global markets will also be able to express their style with custom McDonald's x Kerwin Frost merchandise including a variety of items featuring the McNugget Buddy collection, as well as iconic vintage pieces from Kerwin's own archive.

In addition, McDonald's x Kerwin Frost is releasing a first-of-its-kind new footwear silhouette with the Fry Guy shoes (as seen on the Kerwin Frost McNugget Buddy).

The Kerwin Frost Box is also elevating and amplifying artists and their work in local communities by partnering with the Harlem Arts Alliance (HAA), a New York-based nonprofit organization that plays an essential role in the lives of emerging and established artists.

A portion of proceeds from Frost's exclusive program merchandise line will support HAA, helping spark creativity and inspire self-expression in young adults growing up in Harlem, where Kerwin's creative journey first began.

Pick up the Kerwin Frost Box at participating McDonald's restaurants starting Dec. 11 while supplies last and find out which McNugget Buddy you resonate with most.
