The One Where Macca’s Launches the FRIENDS Meal
22.01.2026
Could we BE anymore excited? The limited-time FRIENDS Meal is here with Monica’s Marinara Sauce and show-inspired collectibles
The one where it all begins
Aussies, it’s time to channel your inner Monica, Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler or Phoebe – because the
limited-edition FRIENDS Meal is landing at Macca’s, complete with exclusive character collectibles and
Monica’s legendary Marinara Sauce.
Starting Wednesday 28 January, Macca’s and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products
(WBDGCP) are serving up nostalgia with a side of Fries. Whether you’re the one who never shares food (hi
Joey ) or the friend who always fights over the last McNugget, there’s a FRIENDS Meal with your name
on it.
The one with all the collectibles 🎁
Choose your vibe – a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, with Fries and a drink. Served up in special
FRIENDS-themed packaging, the FRIENDS Meal is so cute you’ll want to pivot it straight to your feed.
Each FRIENDS Meal comes with one of six exclusive collectibles, pairing one of the FRIENDS characters
with their most iconic moments – like Ross with his pet monkey Marcel, Rachel serving coffee at work,
Monica in full chef mode, Phoebe with her guitar, plus Chandler and Joey with their beloved chick and
duck duo.
The one with Monica’s Marinara Sauce 🍅Confidential - Not for Public Consumption or Distribution
When you choose the FRIENDS Meal with Chicken McNuggets, you’ll also get Monica’s Marinara Sauce -
a flavourful sauce made with capsicum, spices, vegetables and chilli. Dip your McNuggets, dunk your Fries,
and taste the sauce that’s basically chef’s kiss.
The one where we celebrate shared moments
Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia, said: “At Macca’s,
we’re all about shared moments and what better way to celebrate that than with FRIENDS? This epic
partnership brings together two cultural icons that stand for connection, comfort, and joy – because just
like your favourite FRIENDS character, your Macca’s order says a lot about you.
“Our new FRIENDS-inspired meal gives fans of Macca’s and the show a fresh way to come together –
whether it’s over Fries or on the couch.”
The one where you can win a set of Collector Mugs
To bring a little more Central Perk energy, fans can get their hands on a set of limited-edition Collector
Mugs – with 300 sets of four up for grabs. To enter, simply purchase three FRIENDS Meals exclusively via
the MyMacca’s app during the promotion period. After the third purchase, you’ll automatically go into
the draw to win a set of the Mugs.
The one game for the biggest fans
To celebrate the new FRIENDS Meal, the MyMacca’s App is dropping three fun games:
• Ultimate Friends Trivia – to finally settle who is the real superfan in your group
• Rachel’s Cafe Shift – a sudoku style puzzle that’ll have you slinging lattes like a pro at Central Perk
• Pivot! - a block puzzle game that proves some things never get easier...like moving Ross’s couch.
The one where you don’t miss out
The FRIENDS Meal is available at Macca’s from Wednesday 28 January, for a limited time only, via drive-
thru, front counter, kiosk and the MyMacca’s app.
So, grab your friends and head to your local Macca’s to collect all your favourite FRIENDS - because some
things are better with a squad.
