Christmas and New Year’s may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of seasonal sweet treats! In fact, Valentine’s day is one of the best (and most underrated) times to enjoy some limited-time goodies from your favorite stores and restaurants. Sure, peppermint-flavored everything is on its way out, but now it’s time for red, pink, and heart-shaped foods galore. This year, McDonald’s is bringing back one beloved, fruit-flavored pie that we can’t wait to get our hands on. No, we’re not talking about the cherry pie (rest in peace). We’re talking about the Strawberry & Créme Pie. Find all the details below.
Strawberry & Créme Pie Returns To McDonald's Menus
Goodbye, Holiday Pie. Hello, Strawberry & Créme! The McDonald's website dubs this pink and white treat "the way to your heart," and we believe it! The mouthwatering pie combines everything we know and love about our favorite McDonald's dessert (a warm, delicious, sugar-coated, flaky crust) with a flavor we haven't tasted in a while: delicious strawberry filling and vanilla-flavored créme. The créme is on one side while the fruit is on the other (just like that tasty Pumpkin Créme Pie we got to enjoy in the fall). According to @snackgator on Instagram, "it appears that this is a slow rollout and it may take a few weeks for most locations to offer them." So keep your eyes peeled!

We haven't seen this pie flavor on the McDonald's menu since last March, so we're excited to enjoy it again. And it seems we're not alone! Fans online are raving about this sweet side.
"They are delicious!" one person wrote on @snackgator's post. Another gave a simple but clear: "AHHHHHH."
Yes, it's happening.
What do you think? Are you excited to order this pie, or, like one commenter, are you saying: "When they bring back the fried cherry pie, I'll eat at McDonald's." Let us know in the comments.
Personally, we're going to grab this dessert next time we're at the Golden Arches. And while we're at it, we might even stop by Dunkin' for a Pink Velvet Macchiato. 'Tis the season, right?
