Following the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 toys by McDonald’s in 2022, fans were eagerly anticipating another collaboration between McDonald’s, Sega, and Paramount for the franchise’s third movie. After a period of uncertainty, McDonald’s unveiled plans for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toys through an ad aimed at their Colombian audience. The commercial showcased 12 unique Happy Meal toys inspired by the film’s characters. Despite initial doubts, it was later confirmed that the US would also receive the new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Happy Meal and its contents. This is great news for fans of Sonic!

Starting on December 17th, McDonald’s revealed that their US locations would be offering Happy Meals themed around Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Each Sonic Happy Meal includes a choice between a Hamburger or Chicken McNuggets, a side, a drink, and an exclusive Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toy. A total of eight unique toys are available, such as Sonic Blue Roller, Tails Yellow Roller, Shadow Orange Roller, etc., up to and including Tails Blue Roller. The packaging for these Happy Meals will feature either Sonic or Shadow, and there are two distinct designs to choose from. Although the Sonic Happy Meal is a delightful surprise for enthusiasts, it’s not the only notable release from the chain this December. In celebration of the holiday season, McDonald’s has reintroduced the McRib in their US outlets.

Previously, it was stated that McDonald’s US offers eight Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toys, whereas other regions get twelve. Compared to the Colombian promotional video, North American Happy Meals are lacking two Rollers for both Sonic and Shadow. The reason for this choice remains undisclosed. Conversely, the McDonald’s Sonic toys might have hinted at the inclusion of Super Sonic and Super Shadow in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, a plotline not yet revealed in its trailers. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 20th, but past reports about Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have disclosed details about the movie, such as the possibility of several post-credits scenes.

2024 has been a bustling year for McDonald’s, collaborating not only with Sonic but also with numerous video game franchises such as Genshin Impact, Mario Kart, Zenless Zone Zero, and Pokemon. Additionally, they have shared some major plans for the coming year, including the return of Snack Wraps in 2025 at McDonald’s locations within the United States.
