Get your pinching hand ready, because St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and with it comes all of our favorite Irish recipes. Don’t get us wrong—we love Irish soda bread and savory pies, but no one does the holiday quite like McDonald’s. Seriously, what’s St. Patrick’s Day without going a little green?
McDonald’s has officially announced the return date of the Shamrock Shake and the debut of an all-new sweet sidekick—the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry!
It’s the Mint Cookie Crunch We Crave
If you’ve been through the McDonald’s drive-thru more than once, you’re probably pretty well-versed in the creamy delight that is the Shamrock Shake. This year, McDonald’s is giving us the luxurious crunch of Oreo cookies mixed with classic vanilla soft-serve and that minty Shamrock flavoring. The Oreo Shamrock McFlurry is the ultimate indulgence we can’t wait to sink our spoons (and fries) into.
McDonald’s first announced the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry via Twitter, and fans went absolutely wild. We can’t really blame them; is there anything more exciting than #ShamrockShakeSZN?
#ShamrockShakeSZN is coming back for its 50th anniversary. Celebrate with the iconic shake or the brand new OREO® Shamrock McFlurry®, available 2/19! 🙌🎊🍀 pic.twitter.com/qWEid38DHP

We know we’ll be adding Oreos to our copycat Shamrock Shake recipe this year.
Get in Line at McDonald’s
McDonald’s is kicking off St. Patrick’s Day early on February 19, so be there at opening before the Oreo Shamrock McFlurry is all gone. Like every year, these items are only available for a limited time. If you’re not sure your location is serving up the Shamrock Shake, it’s worth it to make a call before rolling on in.
If your schedule is jam-packed and you can’t sneak away, don’t worry. You can always order an Oreo Shamrock McFlurry directly to the office, courtesy of Postmates and Uber Eats. Worst case scenario, the classic Shamrock Shake is a faithful backup, and if we’re being honest, we’re ordering both, anyway.
