Imagine riding around the city, and seeing the glimmer of the golden arches. Immediately, you crave your favorite meal from McDonald’s.

Changing the entire route to get the combo meal of your dream, you not only get food but are surprised by a nostalgic toy. Today’s special treat? A  McNugget Buddy.

The excitement people have around McDonald’s has stood the test of time, which includes all of McDonald’s characters like the McNugget Buddies. The fast food giant teamed up with artist Kerwin Frost to bring new life to the loveable creations for every child at heart to enjoy.

Frost grew up loving the McNugget Buddies, and he dreamed of one day owning each buddy in the collection.

Fast forward to 2023, as a part of McDonald’s Artist Residency, Frost was able to not only make that dream come true for himself but offer the opportunity for millions of others who enjoy a McDonald’s meal. The collaboration with Frost is a direct connection to his unique style and forward-thinking self-expression.

Blavity pulled up to Frost Way, the home of the McNugget Buddies. It’s a colorful and playful place beaming with creativity and positive pride. There, we met the new McBuddies, and the vibes were top-tier. Let’s tap in and meet Mayor Kerwin Frost and Waffutu.
