These Are the International McDonald’s Desserts Americans Are Drooling Over
McDonald’s may feel familiar, but step outside the U.S. and things get a lot more interesting, especially when it comes to dessert. From creamy concoctions to crispy sweet bites, other countries are serving up treats Americans can only dream about. These menu items aren’t just local novelties—they’re straight-up envy-inducing. Social media has taken notice, and now fans are asking why these aren’t available stateside. If you’ve ever wondered what sweet surprises McDonald’s hides abroad, these International McDonald’s desserts are the ones making headlines.
McFlurry M&M’s Peanut (Netherlands)

Americans might cry into their regular M&M’s McFlurry once they learn this nutty cousin lives happily in the Netherlands. McDonald’s there serves up this sweet-and-salty gem, made with vanilla soft serve and crushed Peanut M&M’s for an extra earthy crunch. Why don’t we get it in the U.S.? Some say it’s the peanut allergy problem. Either way, we’re jealous.
Frozen Coke (New Zealand)

Think soda slushie—but from McDonald’s. Kiwis get to cool down with a Frozen Coke that delivers all the fizzy refreshment of your favorite soda with a slushy twist. No dairy, all chill, and yes, plenty of brain freeze.
Choc McDip (New Zealand)

New Zealand’s McDonald’s went full Dairy Queen with this one. The Choc McDip features classic soft-serve dunked in quick-dry milk chocolate and served on a proper pointy waffle cone. It’s crunchy, it’s creamy, and it’s what U.S. cones wish they could be.
Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry (Canada)

Available only around Easter (because clearly Canadians believe in seasonal magic), this McFlurry blends vanilla soft serve with chocolate bits and a gooey swirl of Cadbury Creme Egg fondant. It’s sticky, sweet, and totally nostalgic—just like eating the candy, but way colder.
Smarties McFlurry (Great Britain)

In the UK, Smarties aren’t tangy tablets—they’re like candy-coated chocolate cousins to M&M’s. The Smarties McFlurry mixes those crunchy bites into creamy soft serve, and yes, Brits go wild for it. It’s nostalgic, crunchy, and fans often ask for extra Smarties to really seal the deal.
Hot Cross Bun with Cadbury Choc Chips (Australia)

Aussie McDonald’s decided the traditional Easter treat needed a glow-up, so they swapped the raisins for Cadbury chocolate chips. Served warm, this fluffy sweet bun hits all the right notes—especially for locals who grew up on the OG version. It’s comfort food with a chocolatey upgrade.
