This exclusive kit will be available for free starting February 10 at McNuggetCaviar.com. The kit includes:

Valentine’s Day Dining Trends
Valentine’s Day is a significant event for the restaurant industry in the U.S. It ranks as the second-most popular holiday for dining out, following Mother’s Day. According to the National Restaurant Association, casual sit-down restaurants experience substantial traffic increases, especially when the holiday falls on a weekday.
While fast-food chains generally see less of a boost on this holiday, McDonald’s and other brands are trying to attract customers with unique promotions. For example, White Castle is celebrating its 35th year of transforming locations into “Love Castles,” complete with hostess seating and Valentine’s decorations.
Other Valentine’s Day Promotions
Various chains are also celebrating this holiday with themed offerings:
- Chick-fil-A offers nugget orders in heart-shaped trays.
- Papa Johns and Pizza Hut provide heart-shaped pizzas.
- Auntie Anne’s features heart-shaped soft pretzels.
- 7-Eleven has heart-shaped donuts and delivery discount promotions.
The Inspiration Behind Caviar McNuggets
McDonald’s conceived the Caviar McNugget idea after noticing enthusiasm from fans on social media. Notable culinary influencers, including chef David Chang, have shared their fondness for pairing caviar with chicken dishes. Additionally, pop star Rihanna was seen enjoying this unique combination in a viral TikTok video in 2024.
While McDonald’s has not disclosed the specific number of kits available, they have indicated that quantities are limited. This might be expected, given that a one-ounce tin of Siberian sturgeon caviar typically retails for $85, equivalent to approximately 166 Chicken McNuggets.
