Celebrate National Egg McMuffin Day with $1 Sandwiches and new breakfast offerings on March 2
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Egg McMuffin, McDonald's is offering a $1 Egg McMuffin or Sausage McMuffin with Egg on March 2, exclusively through its app.
McDonald's is commemorating the 50th anniversary of its iconic Egg McMuffin with a special promotion on National Egg McMuffin Day, March 2. For one day only, customers can enjoy an Egg McMuffin or Sausage McMuffin with Egg for just $1, exclusively through the McDonald's app. This celebration not only honors the legacy of the beloved breakfast sandwich but also introduces exciting additions to the McDonald's breakfast menu.
The Egg McMuffin, first crafted by franchisee Herb Peterson in 1971, revolutionized the fast-food breakfast landscape by offering a portable version of Eggs Benedict. Over the past five decades, it has become a staple for morning commuters and breakfast enthusiasts alike. In addition to the $1 promotion, McDonald's is expanding its breakfast offerings to cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

Bagel sandwiches return nationwide and the unexpected Krispy Kreme donuts’ inclusion
Responding to popular demand, McDonald's has reintroduced its breakfast bagel sandwiches across the United States. Fans can now savor varieties such as Bacon, Egg & Cheese; Sausage, Egg & Cheese; and Steak, Egg & Cheese at participating locations. This nationwide rollout marks the first time these beloved sandwiches are available coast to coast, providing customers with more hearty breakfast options to kickstart their day.
In a sweet collaboration, McDonald's has partnered with Krispy Kreme to offer their renowned donuts at select locations. Starting February 25, customers in New York City can indulge in favorites like the Original Glazed and Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, available individually or by the half dozen throughout the day. This initiative aims to enhance the breakfast experience by pairing McDonald's signature McCafé beverages with freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts. The partnership is set to expand, with plans for nationwide availability by the end of 2026.

Exclusive app offers and promotions
To further celebrate the golden anniversary of the Egg McMuffin, McDonald's is rolling out additional promotions for app users. From March 3 through March 30, customers can enjoy a buy-one-get-one-free (BOGO) deal on the Sausage McMuffin with Egg when ordering through McDelivery via the McDonald's app. These app-exclusive offers not only provide exceptional value but also encourage customers to explore the convenience of digital ordering and delivery services.
Despite industry-wide challenges such as rising egg prices due to increased bird flu cases, McDonald's remains committed to offering value to its customers. Unlike some competitors who have added surcharges to egg-based meals, McDonald's has chosen to maintain its pricing and even introduce special deals. This approach underscores the company's dedication to providing affordable dining options, especially for lower-to-middle-income customers who may be scaling back on dining out due to inflation.
As McDonald's celebrates this milestone, customers are invited to partake in the festivities by enjoying classic favorites and exploring new menu additions. With a blend of tradition and innovation, McDonald's continues to solidify its place as a beloved breakfast destination for millions across the nation.
