A fan-favorite dessert is slowly making its return to select McDonald's restaurants nationwide.

Customers recently spotted the treat at select locations in multiple states, according to food blogger markie_devo.

The blogger revealed in a January 5 Instagram post that the McDonald's Strawberry & Crème Pie was  back on the menu. 

'If you're seeing this it's already too late, the GOAT Holiday Pie at McD's is most likely gone(until next time friend).'

The creamy pie is made with strawberries and vanilla flavored crème baked into a sugary crust.

'If this is as good as the guava and cream pies McD had before then I’m gonna have to try it,' an Instagram user wrote.

McDonald's has not revealed details about the Strawberry and Crème Pie rollout and has not confirmed how long it will be on its 2025 menus.

The average price of a McDonald's Strawberry & Crème Pie is currently $2.49, according to #HackTheMenu.

McDonald's recently began offering its fan-favorite Strawberry & Crème Pie at select restaurants nationwide

McDonald’s debuted the limited-time strawberry pie in 2012, and it became an instant success with customers

Multiple Instagram users were excited to try the pie for the first time because strawberry was their 'favorite flavor.'

Others joked about how the pie's return made their day better and even claimed they would 'call their child' Strawberry and Crème Pie

'Omg I just checked the app & we have them. A true miracle since we never get seasonal pies here,' a fan wrote.

A few excited customers also pointed out their happiness for the pie's return and anger over it not be a year-round item. 

'McDonald's need to put strawberry crème pies on they menu all year around I don’t want no fckin holiday pie,' a fan tweeted.

The popular pie made its debut on McDonald's menus in 2012.

The fast food empire offered the treat as a limited-time item and ended its initial run just two years after it debuted.

McDonald's brought it back in 2022, and offered it for a limited-time at participating US locations in 2023 and 2024.

The limited time pie is usually only offered during the winter or spring seasons, according to Allrecipes.

The food blogger suggested McDonald's customers check the fast-food chain's app to see if the pie is available in their region.

Fans can also go check pie availability and prices on food delivery apps like DoorDash and Grubhub.

Social media users on X and Instagram were thrilled to learn the Strawberry and Crème Pie treats returned to McDonald's menus

'When it comes to value, we know there's no one-size-fits-all.' said Joe Erlinger, President of McDonald's USA in a press release. 

'We've worked closely with our franchisees to create a new platform that will let our customers define value on their own terms.'

Its popular $5 Meal Deal allows customers to choose between a McDouble or McChicken, small fries, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small soft drink.

Items included in the Buy One, Add One for $1 deal include the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Burrito, McChicken, and small fries.
