The McDonald's Carrot Happy Meal, available for a limited time, is the first time ever that carrots are being included in Happy Meals. The new Happy Meals are being introduced to celebrate the arrival of the all-new Space Jam: A New Legacy film, and there are 14 different Space Jam: A New Legacy-themed Happy Meal toys for kids to collect as part of this promotion.
For a short time, carrots will be replacing the usual apple slices, and books will continue to be offered as part of the program via McDonald's Canada. The healthy side is being launched alongside other special offerings for a limited time, including the Slam Dunk Cookie McFlurry, the Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake and a 20-piece sharing box of Chicken McNuggets that turns into a tabletop basketball game.
