With the GIF stickers, McRib lovers can make their Instagram stories sing with seasonal cheer using options that say “Tis the SZN” or “SZN greetings” or one that shows a McRib made to look like a caramel apple.

“We’re always listening to our customers and we know the McRib has some of the most loyal fans,” says Chef Chad Schafer, senior director of culinary innovation & commercialization at McDonald’s USA. “This year we’re excited to give every McRib fan new ways to show their love for the sandwich with our saucy McRib GIFS so they can celebrate the season no matter where they live.”
The Instagram story GIFs will be available all year long, but the McRib is only available for a limited time.
The McRib’s spot on McDonald’s menu dates back to 1981. The iconic sandwich last appeared in participating restaurants in November 2018.
