McDonald’s customers have been left disappointed after discovering the fast-food chain’s festive hot drinks look nothing like the official pictures on the menu.

Earlier this month, McDonald’s revealed its Christmas menu including a millionaire’s latte and a toffee latte.

However many have taken to social media sharing snaps of the drinks they were served, complaining they didn’t live up to expectations.

Prices for the lattes vary by store but the most common prices are £1.99 for a medium and £2.29 for a large. 

One disappointed person tweeted: @McDonaldsUK What the f**k is this? It’s supposed to be a millionaire’s latte, f**king scheme latte.’ 

Another wrote: ‘Not impressed by your millionaire latte’s. They look unrecognisable from your posters!’ 

Another quipped: ‘How hard is it to put cream on a toffee latte @McDonaldsUK?’

‘Don’t believe the hype… No fancy toppings and just a sweet latte #disappointed #millionairelatte’

A McDonald’s spokesperson said: ‘As with any cream on top of a hot drink, if left for a period of time, our swirl of cream and a toffee drizzle will blend into the latte.

‘Most of our customers are loving it too much to leave it that long, but if it does melt then you’ll still get all of the great flavours, just combined with your drink instead of on top.’ 

The fast-food chain’s new Christmas menu also includes the Big Tasty Burger and Camembert cheese dippers.
