McDonald’s is going small in a big way this summer with the launch of Lil McDonald’s Happy Meals, a limited-time collection of 21 miniature toys inspired by the fast-food giant’s most iconic features. Starting July 1 through August 11, 2025, customers across the U.S. can collect tiny versions of McDonald’s staples—from a Boo Bucket and Happy Meal box to a mini cash register, delivery truck, and even a pint-sized PlayPlace.
The Lil McDonald’s collection taps into the joy of imaginative play and nostalgia, with toys that replicate everything from a McNugget box to a self-ordering kiosk. “There’s something magical about watching your child’s imagination come to life with these tiny toys,” said Anna Engel, Director of Marketing for McDonald’s USA. The toys are designed to let kids “play McDonald’s” at home—turning kitchen tables into drive-thrus and living rooms into mini restaurants.
Each Happy Meal includes one of the 21 collectible toys and a scannable code that unlocks Drive Thru Dash, a digital game where players race to take orders and earn points. Families can also download a Lil McDonald’s placemat from HappyMeal.com to create their own play zone, or use the McDonald’s app to find nearby restaurants with real PlayPlaces.
It wasn’t until she was in her mid-thirties that she found a new career path: being a concert promoter. It very much started as a hobby. It started as just wanting to throw one show for her best friend’s birthday. He wanted New Riders of the Purple Sage to perform in our hometown, and she happened to know someone who recently bought a music venue. The venue owner was willing to show me the ropes, which was invaluable. That first show came together beautifully, sending me down a path of producing more concerts for my friends and neighbors in Dayton, Ohio, over the last decade.
With her production company she view concerts and live experiences through the lens of the audience. Musicians themselves produce a lot of the local concerts she has attended in the past, and they often have a different perspective on building a show. They like to book their friends rather than who would fit best together. There is also usually a lot of politics about who performs in what order, which doesn’t necessarily lead to the best outcome.
Libby likes to ensure there is a natural flow and crescendo of energy during the concert. So, she tend sto place bands in an order that feels good to her, not necessarily in an order of who has been a band longer or has more clout. She wants the experience to feel good to the people paying to be there.
She admits she’s a fan, first and foremost, so little things matter. Is the ticket staff-friendly when you arrive? How is the sound quality? Is there toilet paper in the bathrooms at the of the show? I’m proud of the reviews we’ve received, especially from other women who really feel cared for at our shows.
“Anywhere can be boring – it’s up to you to engage with the community and explore. I’ve traveled a lot, but there’s no place else I’d rather be. As a music lover, Dayton was the perfect place to grow up in the 90s. If I can keep that tradition alive in any small way, I’ve achieved my goal! “
