Beginning December 3, the American fast food chain is pulling out all the stops for the McRib’s festive return to participating locations throughout the U.S. Not only will the McRib — described by McDonald’s as “seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and tangy pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun” — be available to order at restaurant locations nationwide, but so will its beloved tangy sauce. For the first time ever, fans can purchase a half-gallon jug of the chain’s signature McRib sauce, aptly named “A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.” According to McDonald’s, the jug is “perfect for holiday parties, festive recipes, or the ultimate stocking stuffer for McRib lovers.” The sauce will drop ahead of the sandwich on November 25 at 10 a.m. In addition to the sandwich and the McRib sauce, the December roll-out will also feature an official holiday jingle, titled: “It Could Only Mean One Thing.” open image in gallery McDonald’s fans can purchase the McRib beginning December 3, and the ‘Whole Lotta McRib Sauce’ starting November 25 “The McRib is more than a sandwich — it’s a part of culture, it’s a legend, it’s an event,” Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s chief marketing and customer experience officer, said in a statement. “McRib is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.” The announcement of the McRib’s return to participating U.S. locations comes after the sandwich made another return to McDonald’s restaurants across the United Kingdom.
