McDonald's Happy Meal Next Time. Curious George in December
We'll be the first to bring you information on McDonald's next new Happy Meal!
My kids love McDonald's Happy Meal, and I'm sure we're not the only ones who end up buying it the morning of the first day it goes on sale when they ask for it...
Especially when we collaborate with characters that are popular with children, their eyes light up and they say, "I want it!!"
Starting in December 2025, it'll be Sumikko Gurashi and Curious George !
Each of the toys in Happy Meals is of very high quality!
Guessing what's going to be in the next Happy Meal is a secret pleasure not only for kids, but for me as an adult too.
Here we have detailed information about the next Happy Meal, scheduled to be released in 2025.
The toy changeover timing for Happy Meals starts at 5am .
If you want to get your hands on one early at a store that opens early in the morning, you might want to consider ordering via mobile at that time.
Flying squirrels have arrived!!!

The second installment of McDonald's Chiikawa Happy Meal brought me the long-awaited flying squirrel 🩷🩵💛

McDonald's Happy Meal Chiikawa (May 2025)

Happy Set® Chiikawa starts on Friday, May 16th! #Chiikawapic.twitter.com /YmrYVspA0w

Friday, May 16th - What a surprise! The long-awaited Chiikawa will be appearing!!!
It's so exciting that everyone's beloved Chiikawa is now appearing in McDonald's Happy Meals!
And the other toy is Minecraft.
Doesn't this seem a little too luxurious, McDonald's?
It's expected to sell out quickly, so if you want one, get there as soon as possible.
For Chiikawa, I got a Happy Meal first thing in the morning‼️😭✨✨
— Reward Choice (@gohoubi_choice) May 16, 2025
Wow, so cute🩵❤️🩷
The rabbit I wanted the most finally arrived...‼️ pic.twitter.com/WSFbzibWj9
I absolutely wanted it, so I went to McDonald's first thing in the morning on the first day it was released!
When I looked at the products the customers around me were buying, they all said "Chiikawa" "Chiikawa" "Chiikawa"...
I thought this might run out of stock pretty quickly...
Although Minecraft is also popular, Chiikawa is so popular that it is now overshadowed.
▲To my surprise, I got the rabbit I wanted the most!! Wow, I'm so happy!!
The construction is very detailed and the product is very good.
I always think this, but the toys in Happy Meals are of very high quality.
If you bought it normally, the toy alone would cost 400-500 yen, but this one even comes with a hamburger, fries, and juice?
It's such a good deal that I can't help but be impressed every time...
[First wave] May 16th to May 22nd (sold out on May 18th)
- Hachiware McDonald's Calendar
- Sea Otter Drive Rolling Major
- Chiikawa Drink Cup Pen Holder
- Rabbit Petit Pancake Case
The Sea Otter Drive Rolling Measure comes with 12 stickers that you can stick on however you like!
It is made with uncompromising quality.
The measuring tape changes from 0cm to 12cm depending on the distance the car has traveled.
The Chiikawa Happy Set "Otter's Drive Rolling Measure" is a great item that helps children become familiar with numbers by measuring the distance the car has traveled from 0 to 10 cm.

McDonald's Happy Meal Minecraft (May 2025)
This is a Happy Meal to commemorate the release of the Minecraft movie.
I also saw the Japanese dubbed version of the film on its opening day, and among the many famous voice actors, I was impressed by Meruru's hard work in her role as Natalie, delivering some very long lines.
While waiting in line at the store, I noticed many people buying the Chiikawa Happy Meal, which makes the Minecraft Happy Meal a hidden gem.
I expect the third Minecraft Happy Set will probably go ahead without any problems.

Next Happy Set Summary
Enjoy the world of toys with McDonald's Happy Meal!
McDonald's hopes that the books and toys in Happy Meals will engross children in playing, deepening their interest in a wide range of subjects and broadening the joy of thinking.
We are developing our products based on seven themes, with the aim of nurturing the imagination, expressiveness, and creativity needed to live life as one's true self.
I also think it's great that they have a toy recycling box, which is environmentally friendly.
I've always thought that the recent Happy Meals have been very well-made, and it seems that they contain the feelings that McDonald's has for children.
Even during the Happy Meal sales period, popular toys may sell out early.
If there's a toy you want, it's best to buy it as soon as possible!
