when does shamrock shake end

The Shamrock Shake doesn’t have a fixed, publicly announced “end date” in 2026, but it’s a limited-time item that typically runs through St. Patrick’s Day and then disappears sometime shortly after, depending on the location and remaining supplies.

Quick Scoop

  • In 2026, McDonald’s brought back the Shamrock Shake on February 17.
  • McDonald’s has not given an official final day it will be on the menu; instead, it’s promoted as a limited-time offer.
  • Articles and brand messaging emphasize that it will be available “while supplies last” and “won’t last forever,” so some stores may run out earlier than others.
  • Coverage notes it’s a spring seasonal treat and advises not to wait until long after St. Patrick’s Day if it’s a must-have for you.

So, when does it end?

Realistically, you should expect the Shamrock Shake to be gone from most menus sometime in late March, but because there’s no official end date and it’s supply-based, the safest move is to grab one before or around St. Patrick’s Day.
