Pokémon Happy Meals return to McDonald’s France in Dec. 2024

For the past few years, The Pokémon Company has collaborated with McDonald’s to put out specially themed Happy Meals featuring Pokémon Trading Card Game packs. Usually the promotion occurs around August in the US, but it looks like there will be a bit of a delay this year. According to PokéBeach, the promotion will be available in France between December 4th, 2024 and January 21st, 2025.

In the past, the promotion has featured special packs of Pokémon TCG cards included with Happy Meals, plus coloring sheets and activities for kids. The cards haven’t been anything new or groundbreaking, but they do have a new numbering as part of the McDonald’s set, so collectors will want to keep an eye out.

If you’re not in France, this is still good news! Typically, the Pokémon TCG promo comes to the United States a couple months before it arrives in France. That means it’s likely that we’ll be seeing it in October or November of this year, so stay tuned.
