Just when it seemed like McDonald’s and Crocs had reached peak cuteness with their Grimace slides, the two brands have done it again with an exciting new collaboration. This time, the partnership brings a Crocs-themed Happy Meal to fans, complete with miniature Crocs keychain clips.
Instagram food news account @snackolator broke the news, confirming that the Crocs Happy Meal would feature keychains inspired by the iconic Crocs footwear, called Crocs Clips. These adorable keychains come packaged in their own miniature Crocs-branded boxes, complete with stickers, making the experience even more fun.

According to @snackolator, the Happy Meal has already rolled out in a few international markets, with 10 different designs available. However, the exact designs and number of keychains in the U.S. version could vary, but the Happy Meal itself is definitely heading stateside soon.
The collaboration, which is currently available in countries like Singapore, has sparked a mix of excitement and nostalgia among fans. While many are thrilled by the Crocs-themed Happy Meal, others have voiced concerns that it might miss the mark with its traditional audience—children. Some fans lamented the absence of the more traditional Happy Meal toys like Beanie Babies and electronic games, expressing that kids today might not appreciate keychains as much as previous generations.
Despite these concerns, the growing popularity of small bag charms and shoe accessories among younger generations suggests that this Crocs collaboration could be a hit with today’s kids. Crocs keychains, which can be attached to clothing, backpacks, or even other shoes, are part of the modern trend of personalization, and may appeal to a wide range of McDonald’s customers, from children to adults.
