Squishmallows are back on the menu at McDonald’s.
Happy Meals with those popular squishy stuffed toys inside have returned and are available at the fast-food restaurant chain for a limited time, McDonald’s said on Tuesday, May 13. Meals will include one of a dozen different toys including a new character named Halley, a previously unseen Squishmallow of the salamander-shaped axolotl type.
Each Squishmallow toy comes with a character hang tag, which details its name and its story – in the case of Halley, for instance, it would mention its intergalactic travel ability. Each toy also includes a code you can scan to play an interactive game.

Popularity of Squishmallows
The Squishmallows Happy Meals were a big hit when they last were available in December 2023. The toy brand has a huge following as toy maker Jazwares has sold more than 400 million of the Squishmallows plush toys worldwide.

Complete sets of the toys are already being hawked on eBay, starting at about $50.
McDonald’s says the toys will be available while supplies last.
