Although McDonald’s is always giving out freebies via their rewards program, they they usually get extra generous around the holidays. Back in December 2022, McDonald’s brought back their “Szn of Sharing” deals — with a whole month’s worth of goodies.
We showed you every way you could use your McDonald’s Rewards account to get free McDonald’s that December, free Mickey D’s merch, and potentially free McDonald’s for life. Unfortunately, the promotion didn’t make a return in 2023. Not even a hint of McDonald’s Szn of Sharing is stirring amongst their press releases and website. Will it be back next year? As of mid-March 2024, we don’t know. But hey, if we hear rumblings about it, we’ll be sure to share here!
If you’re looking for more McDonald’s deals be sure to brush up on all the ways you can get free McDonald’s no matter what season.

If you made any purchase from Dec. 5 to 25, 2022, you were entered into the McGold Card Sweepstakes.
When you made a purchase from Dec. 5 to 25, 2022, you were automatically entered into the McDonald’s McGold Card Sweepstakes. With the McGold Card, you could get free McDonald’s for life. Or more accurately, two free McDonald’s meals a week for 50 years — an estimated value of $52,350.
McDonald’s only selected three winners, and each purchase you made in the McDonald’s app counted as an entry to the sweepstakes. If you were one of the lucky winners of the sweepstakes, you not only received one McGold Card, but you got three more to distribute to your friends.
Although the chances to get a McGold Card were slim last year, we know how you can get free McDonald’s year-round.
McDonald’s offered free merchandise with purchase on Dec. 7 & 14, 2022.
When you made a minimum $1 purchase through the McDonald’s app on Dec. 7 and 14, 2022, you could get free McDonald’s merchandise. Each day there were different items that you can get, but supplies were limited, so you had to be quick to grab your free swag. Here’s what McDonald’s offered:
