McDonald’s Canada has teamed up with the Toronto Raptors to honour the 30th anniversary of the team and the beloved McFlurry.

To celebrate, McDonald’s has announced a “sweet, slam dunk,” called the ‘95 McFlurry that will be available only to Ontario residents.

“It’s not every day that you celebrate the 30th anniversary of two Canadian icons, but with the McFlurry and the Raptors celebrating 30 years, we wanted to craft a delicious way for fans to express their pride and mark this huge milestone,” said Melissa Hains, Director, Field Marketing at McDonald’s Canada.

The new McFlurry sports the classic 1995 Raptors purple and red with vanilla soft serve blended with red popping candy and blueberry flavoured syrup.

“We took inspiration from the Raptors’ original colours to create a vibrant flavour that brings back the fun and nostalgia of the 90’s,” said Jeff Anderson, Culinary Innovation Lead at McDonald’s Canada.

“The ‘95 McFlurry is a tribute to the McFlurry and the Raptors’ journey, and we wanted to give fans a treat that captures the excitement and the energy of being courtside with every spoonful,” he said.

The new ice cream treat will be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants for only a limited time.

“Get yours before the buzzer sounds,” McDonald’s Canada said.

The McFlurry was created in 1995 by franchisee Ron McLellan in Bathurst, New Brunswick, according to a Feb. 18 press release from McDonald’s Canada.

Since then, it has become a beloved classic worldwide.
