Here's a reason to wake up early on Wednesday morning: McDonald's is giving away free Egg McMuffins. It's part of the fast-food chain's 11-day holiday giveaway, which offers up a new daily freebie now through Christmas Eve.

There are a few things you should know before you hit the drive-thru: To cash in on a free Egg McMuffin, you must check out through the McDonald's app with a minimum purchase of $1. A medium hot coffee or tea will get you there—both are priced around $1.50, depending on where you're located. It's also worth noting that McDonald's temporarily paused its all-day breakfast menu back in March, so you'll want to plan your trip before 10:30am, when most locations stop serving hash browns and hotcakes.

Can't make it to McDonald's for breakfast on Wednesday, December 16? There are still eight days of deals, including gratis McNuggets, hotcakes and bakery items. Take a look at the full lineup below: 

  • Thursday, December 17: Free McDouble
  • Friday, December 18: Free medium fries
  • Saturday, December 19: Free 6-piece McNuggets
  • Sunday, December 20: Free hotcakes
  • Monday, December 21: Free hot or iced coffee
  • Tuesday, December 22: Free McFlurry
  • Wednesday, December 23: Free bakery item
  • Thursday, December 24: Free 2- or 3-pack chocolate chip cookies
