News: McDonald's - New Peppermint Mocha and Hot Chocolate

Peppermint is the flavor (syrup) of the season at McDonald's this fall/winter with two new drinks joining the McCafe line up. For a limited time, starting around the end of this month, McDonald's will be offering the Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Basically the drinks feature McDonald's normal Mocha and Hot Chocolate but flavored with Peppermint syrup.

Prices range from $2.29 to $3.29 (undercutting Starbucks of course) for differing sizes. Prices may vary with location.

Last year, around this same time, McDonald's introduced their Caramel Mocha. Does this mean they'll have pumpkin spice next year?!

The KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl is only available for a limited time at participating KFC restaurants for $3.99.
