MCDONALD'S has added several new cold items to its menu that may rival some Taco Bell fan favorites.
As summer approaches, the fast food giant brought a striking and fresh "frozen" item for the upcoming hot days.
Aside from its core menu items, which have remained relatively the same for almost 70 years, McDonald's introduced a Frozen Hawaiian Punch option to its locations around the US, per The Street.
Many children and adults across the country know the taste of Dr. Pepper's iconic drink, which began as a topping for ice cream in 1934, according to the brand's website.
Those same customers familiar with the iconic juice drink will be able to reach for a frozen option at McDonald's as the heat rises in 2023.
"Get a delicious McDonald’s Frozen Hawaiian Punch today," the fast food giant wrote in the new product's description on its website.

"It’s the frozen drink bursting with over eight bold, tropical fruit flavors."
The Frozen Hawaiian Punch is reportedly offered in small, medium, and large-size options.
Each contains 60, 70, and 110 calories, respectively.
No official announcement for the new addition was allegedly released by the company, and Frozen Hawaiian Punch has appeared on menus and McDonald's website for ordering.

However, this isn't the first frozen drink option McDonald's offered before, and it is bringing some of them back alongside Frozen Hawaiian Punch.
Two beloved kinds of soda will also be featured once again in frozen options at McDonald's in Summer 2023, per Chew Boom.
"In addition to the new Frozen Hawaiian Punch, McDonald’s is also featuring Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry and Frozen Coca-Cola Classic for summer 2023," the website claimed.
Either way, the frozen drink additions are sure to compete with Taco Bell, which has long had them as a staple of its year-round menu.
FROZEN CHALLENGE
Taco Bell offers its customers several flavors of frozen drinks, including Wild Cherry, Blue Raspberry, and the legendary Mountain Dew Baja Blast.
Additionally, Taco Bell introduces limited-time flavors in frozen options throughout the year at different times.
Food experts believe this has helped Taco Bell generate extra revenue for meal purchases, as the frozen drink can be a pricey add-on, per The Street.
Not to mention, it could possibly bring customers to the fast food giant at atypical eating hours for just the frozen drink alone.
McDonald's may want to get in on the extra business, which could explain why frozen drinks have made their way to the menu.
Although the fast food giant rarely makes new additions that stick around, so customers should act fast to grab the Frozen Hawaiian Punch.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Spicy McNuggets also officially returned to McDonald's recently.
Not to mention, a major menu change for the fast food giant introduced Big Mac Sauce in dip cups for the very first time.
