Of all of McDonald’s discontinued items (pizza, McD.L.T. McRib, Szechuan sauce) I think the most missed and most requested might be the chicken Snack Wrap. That might be due to the long time they were on the menu and how recently it was available, from 2006 to 2016. We had several options for sauces and crispy vs. grilled chicken. I loved the crispy chicken Southwest Snack Wraps, they were just the right tasty bite of goodness without the extra calories of a sandwich. I’ve tried to recreate them at home with tortillas and chicken strips, with limited success. The good news is that McDonalds is bringing back the Snack Wrap in their American locations sometime this year! They made the announcement on their official Twitter account, with no month given but a date of the 14th. People are saying that it will be June. Here’s the report, from People:
On Tuesday, April 15, McDonald’s surprised fans by revealing that the brand’s cult-favorite Snack Wraps would be returning to menus sometime this year.
In a post on X, the official McDonald’s account teased the return of the discontinued menu item saying that the item would return on “0x.14.2025,” without specifying which month.
The Snack Wrap originally debuted on McDonald’s menus in the U.S. in 2006 before being discontinued in 2016. The fan-favorite item consisted of chicken, shredded lettuce and shredded cheese covered in either ranch or honey mustard and wrapped inside of a tortilla.
McDonald’s fans and Snack Wrap connoisseurs tried to take a stab at when exactly the menu item would be returning, only knowing that it would be on the 14th of one month in 2025.
“I’m betting on June,” one social media user responded, to which McDonald’s said “I cannot confirm or deny.”
“Soon friend soon,” McDonald’s said in response to another excited user.
McDonald’s President of U.S.A. Joe Erlinger confirmed in an interview with Good Morning America in December 2024 that the item would be back before the end of this year.
“The Snack Wrap will be back in 2025,” Erlinger told host George Stephanopulos. “This has a cult following. I get so many emails into my inbox about this product. It will be back in 2025.”
Erlinger also noted that he could not reveal the exact date as to when the wrap would return for “competitive reasons.”
The McDonald’s subreddit has two posts I’ve found about when these could possibly come back and how long they’ll last. The most recent post, from yesterday (4/15) claims that chicken strips, which I’ve read are called McCrispy strips, are coming on the 29th. Two people say that the Snack Wraps will be back in July. In a post from three months ago, they say the Canadian version uses a McCrispy patty cut up for their Snack Wraps. Apparently the Canadian and Australian McDonald’s still have the Snack Wraps. I also vaguely remember the larger premium Mcwraps, which were apparently a pain to make and were discontinued about 10 years ago. I think that’s what Heidi Klum is holding in the photos here from 2008.
I really miss the salads at McDonald’s, but there’s always Wendy’s, which has had better salads all along. While I was researching this story, I found a website called Mcriblocator, where you can find the much-coveted McRib, now only available in Germany. Hopefully the Snack Wraps will be a more permanent addition to the US menu.
