KEY POINTS

  • McDonald’s posted a special challenge for Mariah Carey on Twitter
  • The singer quickly responded to the challenge and unlocked its reward
  • The reward will give everyone who spends $1 or more on the McDonald’s app free Big Macs Monday

Christmas came early for the Lambilys and everyone else as Mariah Carey is giving away free Big Macs as part of her newest partnership with McDonald’s.

On Monday, the official McDonald’s account on Twitter posted a challenge for the 52-year-old singer-songwriter that would unlock a thrilling reward for fans of the world-famous fast-food chain.

“If @MariahCarey retweets this, everyone gets a free Big Mac,” McDonald’s tweeted.

It did not take long for Carey to respond to the challenge as she retweeted the post right away and even wrote, “You’re welcome,” along with a wink emoji.

By doing so, anyone who spends a minimum of $1 (excluding tax) on the restaurant’s app would be treated with a free Big Mac. Customers who will be availing of the freebie can cash in the offer once, according to People.

The promo is part of the Grammy winner’s partnership with McDonald’s that saw the launch of the Mariah Menu on the same day. The menu includes the singer’s favorite items from the restaurant, including the classic cheeseburger, Big Mac, soft-baked chocolate chip cookies and baked apple pie, among others.

The Mariah Menu will run for 12 days starting this Monday, and a different food item is given for free with a $1 minimum order on the restaurant’s app. The first one is Big Mac and the succeeding offers are listed below:

Dec. 14: McChicken
Dec. 15: Bakery Item
Dec. 16: 6-piece Chicken McNuggets
Dec. 17: Cheeseburger
Dec. 18: Hotcakes
Dec. 19: McDouble
Dec. 20: Apple Pie
Dec. 21: Sausage McMuffin with Egg
Dec. 22: Double Cheeseburger
Dec. 23: Sausage Biscuit
Dec. 24: Chocolate Chip Cookies

Carey and McDonald’s also introduced the Mariah x McDonald’s collection as part of their collaboration. Starting Wednesday, select branches will sell beanies with the singer’s signature. Then, on Dec. 21, the restaurant will sell a T-shirt with a throwback snap of the diva enjoying a cheeseburger.

The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitmaker opened up about the holiday-themed partnership with McDonald’s in an interview with Us Weekly. She said that aside from her, her kids with ex-husband Nick Cannon, twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10, were also excited for it.

“I was so excited to tell my kids because, you know, they love it. They’re super [excited], especially my son, my daughter is, like, her quote is ‘I have a sophisticated palette.’ OK. But she also does love McDonald’s and she does love her cheeseburger with extra pickles,” she told the outlet.
