Happy Meal Build-A-Bear

Happy Meal Build-A-Bear (2026): all 12 mini plush bag clips, from Pawlette to Zombie Axolotl. UK dates: 22 September to 2 November 2026.

From Tuesday 22 September 2026 a McDonald's UK Happy Meal comes with a book or a toy, and the toy is one of 12 Build-A-Bear Workshop mini plush bag clips — a furry friend's head on a coloured clip, made for a bag or a set of keys. McDonald's UK says the clips can be personalised with stickers and that four of the twelve are Halloween inspired. The Happy Meal pages of McDonald's UK and McDonald's Ireland both give the end date: 2 November. McDonald's UK names Pawlette, Friendly Fox and Tan Teddy Bear on its Happy Meal page. The full line-up is on the McDonald's Italy page: Cookies & Cream Pup, Tan Teddy Bear, Pastel Swirl Kitty, Spring Green Frog, Pumpkin Bear, Polar Bear, Pawlette, Midnight Sparkle Cat, Friendly Fox, Bat, Axolotl and Zombie Axolotl. The Italian site CorriereNerd reports that the UK collection has the same twelve and ties Pumpkin Bear, Bat, Midnight Sparkle Cat and Zombie Axolotl to Halloween, without saying they are the four McDonald's UK means. Not every clip is in restaurants at once: “Range items available at different times, whilst stocks last”, the UK page says. A Happy Meal includes one pre-selected book or toy, and the book this time is The Big Talent Show, a Build-A-Bear Workshop title. UK boxes also carry a Build-A-Bear voucher, and McDonald's has added a digital dress-up game. The official pages do not number the toys, so the list here follows the order of the McDonald's Italy page. Mark the clips you have and the ones you are still missing, and the page shows how close you are to all twelve.
