Like their normal pies, a Holiday Pie will only cost you 50 cents (2 for $1; individual pies prices vary from restaurant to restaurant).
So how does it taste? I have to say "custard fail!" The best I can say is that it tasted... interesting. The custard was very eggy--like warmed, raw cake batter. It made me wonder if I would be making an awful tribute to the porcelain god later on (You'll be overjoyed to know that I didn't, but I have somewhat of a cast-iron stomach).

Just be sure to call ahead to check if your McDonald's actually carries it (my local McDonald's actually sold out over the weekend).

These pies are the best gift the Golden Arches has given us since the McRib. To disparage the taste of this amazing dessert concoction is to essentially admit you are indeed a fascist.
ReplyDeleteThe McDonald's Holiday Pie stands alone amongst Christmas treats, and should takes it's rightful place atop the pyramid of baked deliciousness.
They smell amazing, I haven't tried them, Im not a fan of custard or creme filling.
ReplyDeleteThey are bomb .com luv it
ReplyDeleteThey're the best. I know many people who crave them -- including me. The McDonald's in Northeast Tennessee brought them back last year and are doing so again.
ReplyDeleteI'm eating one now at 2:10am. I wanted sugar cookies but they were out. So the girl suggested this new "holiday pie thing". So far.. Sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI love those things!! Soo good!
ReplyDeleteI had one of these last year around this time. I recently remembered them somehow and am currently craving one of these. DAMNIT!
ReplyDeleteIt tasted like Styrofoam.
ReplyDeleteThey are amazing! I make sure to have some every year
ReplyDeleteI just had one. They're awesome! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteYours looks under cooked, I just got a couple and they were nicely browned :)
ReplyDeleteI don't care for this these, but every year I get a few of the pumpkin holiday ones! Had them?
ReplyDeleteI've heard of but have never seen nor tried the McDonald's pumpkin pie =(
ReplyDeleteMost McDonald's have apple and cherry as standard. I've heard they have berry and pumpkin in some parts of the U.S. as well as others.
ReplyDeletePumpkin from McDonalds is ok, I like these ones better. Here in the spring once they offered coconut cream pies, those were great.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these!
ReplyDeleteThe only Mcdonald's pie I've head of is the Apple Pie haha.
ReplyDeleteNASTIEST CRAP IVE EVER HAD... STICK TO WHAT U KNOW MC E DEES
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the holiday pie and the custard middle is the best part! I wish the crust actually was made of sugar cookie, it could be a bit sweeter. Love it so much and look forward to it this time of year, mmmmm!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pumpkin pies. I haven't seen them offered here in Virginia this year. WTH! :-)
ReplyDeletehahahahah that is so funny.
ReplyDeletewhat a great surprise it was awesomely delicious
ReplyDeletebest fucking pie ever. most american pie in my life
ReplyDeleteI thought this pie sounded fantastic as a huge fan of sweet things. I was disappointed that it was only okay but I like this better than their apple pie. Also, I late half it hot when I got it, the other half froze overnight in my car and I thought it tasted far better that way! The vanilla part of the custard was much more prononced.
ReplyDeleteI'm eating one now It's so good. I would eat these off a pretty woman's conrhole.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had one of these in a couple of years. I tried one the first year they had them and then forgot all about it. I think I'll have to get one soon.
