McDonald’s fans have been very busy in the past ten years—ever since the beloved Snack Wrap was discontinued in 2016, diners have been asking the world-famous fast-food chain to bring back the treat.

McD's devotees have desperately taken to social media and even created a Change.org petition that garnered almost 19,000 signatures in an effort to see the wrap on the menu again. And now those Snack Wrap dreams are coming true: the fan-favorite menu item is officially returning to participating McDonald's restaurants on Thursday, July 10.

For those who aren’t familiar, the Snack Wrap is a soft flour tortilla holding McCrispy strips—all-white-meat chicken strips that are breaded and fried—topped with lettuce, a mix of cheddar jack and Monterey Jack cheeses and your choice of sauce (ranch, honey mustard or salsa roja). The roll-up comes in two flavors: The spicy version has a touch of habanero pepper, a flavor aficionados might recognize from the Spicy McCrispy sandwich already on the menu, while the ranch option has those classic hints of garlic and onion.

The Snack Wrap was phased out nationally in 2016, and now as we hit summer 2025 and its blistering temperatures, we have a chance to eat the chain's sole menu item that isn’t hot (other than the desserts and beverages). It’s a healthier option than many on the menu, coming in at less than 300 calories. And, as folks who created the petition point out, it’s the perfect snack for a road trip because you can hold it in one hand and drive with the other.

McDonald’s pledges that the Snack Wrap will be a permanent menu so long as people keep ordering it, so if you love it, order away!
