The Mariah Menu was a limited-edition celebrity meal featuring Mariah Carey. The menu featured a select free item each day through Christmas Eve with a $1 minimum purchase on McDonald’s mobile app. The free daily items(s) were available from December 13 through December 24, 2021.[1]

"Some of my favorite memories with my kids are our family trips to McDonald’s, and of course, each of us has our go-to order. Mine is the Cheeseburger, and I get it with extra pickles,” Carey said in a press release. “Bringing together some of our favorite food from McDonald’s with my all-time favorite season is a holiday wish come true.”[2] "Mariah goes with the holidays like ketchup and fries, so we couldn't think of a better partner to help us celebrate the upcoming season," said Jennifer Healan, Vice President, U.S. Marketing, Brand Content and Engagement of McDonald's USA. "Just like McDonald's brings people around the table with their favorite orders, Mariah's music connects us all during this time of the year. We're so excited to team up to bring even more holiday cheer to our fans."[3]

The free items will be available at participating locations and each is valid one time per day with a $1 minimum purchase on McDonald's mobile app, excluding tax. The Mariah Menu also features exclusive items like: free beanies with Carey's embroidered signature and t-shirts with a photo of her. The free beanies are up for grabs on Wednesday, the day when the free item is a bakery item. The free shirt will be given away on Dec. 21 when the freebie is the Sausage McMuffin with Egg. For a chance to get one of the exclusive items, McDonald's says you need to "be one of the first approximately 10,000 people" of the day to redeem the Mariah Menu deal through Mobile Order & Pay with a $1 minimum purchase.
