For the first time, fans are rejoicing as the McRib arrives in France. From October 21, 2025 through November 24, 2025 McDonalds fans in France will have the opportunity to try the McRib. The McRib is being offered as the standard toppings with the addition of cheese, and fresh salad. Rather than being submerged in BBQ sauce, the sauce is drizzled onto the pork patty. This is part of a collaboration with the Parc Astérix amusement park in Paris. Enjoy them while you can!
The McRib Return has started at McDonalds and they are now starting their advertising push in advance of the McRib returning. It appears that this year the theme is more of a throwback to the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer stop motion movie. While some locations have already started offering the McRib, McDonalds is advertising the official kickoff will be December 3rd at participating locations. See our map for the latest.
Enjoy the latest jingle on YouTube, which again is alike the stop motion holiday specials of the past.

As we earlier brought to attention on social media, the 2020 Central America McRib Release has arrived. It appears that the offering this year very closely mirrors that of what was offered last year. There are variations of the McRib with bacon, onion rings, and one with cheese.

Not only are they promoting the McRib sandwich itself, however are also promoting using McRib BBQ sauce with their side item options.
Competition Response
Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, competing sandwich shop DelPuente is promoting their take on the McRib sandwich, one that might have made a complimentary addition to the idea of McRib variations offered at McDonalds. While we tend to avoid McRib clones, this one is so close to the real thing it seemed worth mentioning.
Their sandwich features a similar “boneless” pork rib patty slathered in BBQ sauce, and pickles on top. The sandwich is served on a hoagie style bun that appears to even have the same topping as the McRib. Their offering differs as it brings a layer of pulled pork, red onion, lettuce, and mustard on it.

It appears that Central America is going to have a lot of pork sandwich options this year, making the decision of picking which to have a tasty challenge.
We do not typically share a lot of rant videos as they are typically a single experience without much evidence that the claimed event actually took place. We came across the following video that seemed too surreal to pass up sharing.
