McDonald’s holiday pie offerings are a beloved tradition for many customers who look forward to the seasonal treats each year. As the holiday season approaches in 2022, McDonald’s fans want to know – will McDonald’s be selling holiday pies this year?
What holiday pies does McDonald’s usually sell?
In years past, McDonald’s has released special seasonal pies for the holidays. The most popular offerings have included:

As of October 2022, McDonald’s has not yet made an official announcement about their holiday pie plans for 2022. However, based on previous year’s offerings, it is likely they will release seasonal pies this holiday season.
