Squishmallows are back at McDonald’s—and they brought a new friend. Starting Wednesday, May 14, the fast food fave brought the pocket-sized cuties, now available with every Happy Meal for a limited time. Included in the lineup is a brand-new Squish that's out of this world.
This latest collection of Squishmallows includes fan favorites like Stevon the Dog, Cooky the Flamingo and Charles the Pickle plus a new cosmic-themed salamander that's never been seen before. Say hello to Halley the Intergalactic Axolotl.
Each Squishmallow comes with its own character tag, complete with a backstory and a code that unlocks an interactive game. It’s a win for collectors and kids alike—and if past releases are any clue, these squishy plushies will be snapped up fast.
"You’ve waited patiently for two years," McDonald’s said in a press release, "and we want to let all collectors know, there’s a new squad on the block you won’t want to miss out on."

The chain introduced the plush phenomenon to select global locations in June 2023 with 24 exclusive, seasonal designs. U.S. fans had to wait until December to get their hands on that collection, which included a special Grimace Squishmallow.
This latest launch follows McDonald’s Minecraft Movie Happy Meal, which debuted April 1 as a tie-in to Warner Bros.' pixel-powered blockbuster. But with Squishmallows, McDonald’s is showing a softer, squishier side.
These special Squishmallow Happy Meals won't be around long, however—act fast and grab your Squish before June 9.
