McDonald's debuts adorable two-toy Happy Meal
McDonald's has released an all-new limited-time Happy Meal that comes with two toys.
The fast food chain debuted its new Pet Simulator Happy Meal at participating restaurants nationwide on November 26.
'One meal, two toys - one for you, one to gift - it's the perfect treat to spark the joy of giving,' McDonald's wrote in its news release.
The Pet Simulator Happy Meal was created in partnership with BIG Games - a game studio available to use on Roblox.
It debuted just two days before Thanksgiving and a week before Giving Tuesday.
'We hope this special Happy Meal inspires kids to share during this season of giving,' McDonald's executive Jennifer Healan said in a statement.
'Whether they choose to give their extra toy to a family member, make a friend smile, or show kindness to a neighbor, it's all about helping kids feel the joy of giving this holiday season.'
The new Happy Meals will be on the participating locations' menus until December 16.

The Pet Simulator Happy Meal is the same as others - a choice of a hamburger, four or six-piece McNuggets, fries or apple slices, with a milk or soft drink.
Meal prices vary depending on taxes and location, but some reports indicated that Happy Meals cost between $4 and $8, according to the New York Post.
Customers who order the Pet Simulator Happy Meal can choose between 18 toy options.
A 'holiday-inspired' sheet of stickers is also included with the meal for customers hoping to decorate their new toys.
Besides the toys, customers can scan the box with a smartphone or other device to unlock a digital game.
The meal was inspired by 'Pet Simulator!' - a popular game available to play on Roblox since 2018.
Fans who play 'Pet Simulator!' can collect counts and gems to unlock powerful pets.
The popular game has since become a series and generated 11.6 billion plays on all games worldwide.
The Pet Simulator Happy Meal is not the only item McDonald's is adding to its menus.
The fast food empire announced its fan favorite McRib would be available at participating locations starting on December 3.
'The McRib is more than a sandwich – it's a part of culture, it's a legend, it's an event,' Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald's said in a news release.
'McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.'
McDonald's will also reportedly continue its strategy of offering cheap meal bundles into 2025.
The chain's latest 'McValue' gambit builds on the $5 meal deal it introduced this summer by allowing customers to choose a $1 add-on, CNBC reported.
The McDonald's $5 deal includes either a McChicken or McDouble, four-piece chicken nuggets, fries and a drink.
Next year, customers who buy this meal will be able to add any of the following for just a dollar: a double cheeseburger; McChicken sandwich; six piece chicken nuggets and small fry; or breakfast options of a Sausage McMuffin, sausage biscuit or sausage burrito and a hash brown.
'When it comes to value, we know there's no one-size-fits-all. We've worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms,' said Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald’s USA.
'From deals on their personal go-to order to universal favorites like the $5 Meal Deal, we’re excited to give fans more ways to save every time they visit one of our restaurants.'
