This Christmas, McDonalds is getting creative with their Happy Meal toys. Instead of just one happy kid, McDonalds is using the spirit of the season and encouraging kids to share their happiness. Inside each Happy Meal, there will be two toys featuring a keychain inspired by Pet Simulator. However, one of the toys is for the child to keep, while the other toy is for the child to give to some one else.
This “share the happiness” theme is almost identical to the idea featured in the 2021 Great American Family movie, “Royally Wrapped for Christmas”. Lindsay travels to the Kingdom of Veronia to help with holiday preparations. This is where she shares her idea of giving everyone at the royal party two gifts, one gift is for the members to keep and enjoy, the other gift is for them to give to someone special.
When I saw “Royally Wrapped for Christmas”, I thought ‘one to keep, one to give’ was a brilliant idea. I even thought about implementing the gift giving idea at my next holiday party. McDonalds must have thought the same thing, because here we are, three years later, and they are hosting this idea in their happy Meals. Their motto is ‘Gift One! Keep One!’ and I am loving it!
As always, the Happy Meal site provides a little bit more fun with their cute printable activities. This time, parents can find an adorable Pet Simulator coloring page and a search and find puzzle. Print two copies, and the keep one, give one can keep going!
