Social media reacts to the 2024 return of the McDonald's Holiday Pie

Though the Holiday Pie is set to launch on Friday, some fans have already gotten their hands on them and are sharing their excitement on social media.

The TikTok account Jas and Kam Food Reviews shared on Wednesday that the McDonald's in their area was already carrying the Holiday Pie.

"It feels better already. That custard filling on the inside. It reminds me of a confetti cookie," one of the users said in the video. Jas and Kam are based in Greensboro, North Carolina, but they did not indicate which McDonald's they purchased the pies from.

Bootleg Food Review, another food-centric TikTok account, posted a video about the return of the Holiday Pie on Wednesday, too.

"This isn't a review today. Oh no, it is not. It's just an annual reminder that the McDonald's Holiday Pie is once again out at limited locations and it's the most perfect pie that they've ever put on the menu," user Jaysyn said. "10 out of 10 and happy holidays."

Bootleg Food Review is based in San Antonio, Texas, but Jaysyn did not indicate where he purchased his Holiday Pie.
