McDonald’s is blending fast food, fandom and Korean-inspired flavors in a new collaboration with Netflix tied to the hit film KPop Demon Hunters. Beginning March 31, the chain will roll out two limited-time adult meals inspired by the movie’s rival groups, HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys, along with collectible photocards and app-based fan experiences. The promotion will be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.
McDonald’s KPop Demon Hunters meals
The campaign introduces two themed meals built around the film’s central rivalry. The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal includes a Spicy Saja McMuffin, hash browns and a small soft drink, while the HUNTR/X Meal features a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium soft drink, Ramyeon McShaker Fries, Hunter Sauce and Demon Sauce. McDonald’s said the menu was inspired in part by flavors from its South Korea restaurants, aiming to connect fans to the movie through food as well as pop culture.
The promotion also includes collectible card packs with each meal. Customers will receive a photocard featuring either HUNTR/X or the Saja Boys, plus a Derpy access card that can be scanned and entered in the McDonald’s app by April 26 to unlock early access to exclusive content and a special reveal tied to the “Battle for the Fans.” A new Derpy McFlurry, made with vanilla soft serve, berry popping pearls and wild berry sauce, will also be sold separately during the promotion.
McDonald’s and Netflix both described the collaboration as a way to bring fans deeper into the world of KPop Demon Hunters through menu items and interactive experiences. For STM Daily News readers in the food and drink section, the release highlights how major brands are increasingly turning entertainment partnerships into immersive dining promotions that combine limited-time flavors, collectible merchandise and digital engagement.

One More Christmas Begins Production as Great American Media Unveils 2026 Holiday Original
Great American Media has announced One More Christmas, a new original holiday film starring Candace Cameron Bure and Jonathan Scarfe, now in production for Great American Christmas 2026. The film adds another early title to the network’s seasonal lineup as it heads into its sixth year of Christmas programming built around faith, family, hope, and redemption.
In the film, Bure plays Anna, a woman who has been divorced from James Campbell, played by Scarfe, for five years. The former couple reunites over Christmas after their daughter invites the family to a Smoky Mountain cabin to meet her serious boyfriend. What starts as an uneasy holiday gathering shifts when a major ice storm traps Anna and James together, forcing them to revisit the past and consider whether their story is really over.
Why It Stands Out
The setup gives One More Christmas a built-in second-chance romance angle, but the family dynamic may be what gives it the most emotional pull. Great American Media is clearly leaning into the kind of heartfelt, values-driven storytelling its audience expects, while continuing to build Candace Cameron Bure’s presence across its holiday slate.
Bure is also serving as an executive producer on the film. Great American Media said she will star in two original movies for the 2026 season and executive produce another holiday feature still to be announced. Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media, said Bure continues to help define the tone and quality of the network’s Christmas programming.
Creative Team
One More Christmas is executive produced by Candace Cameron Bure, Jeffery Brooks, Ford Englerth, and Tim Owens for CandyRock Entertainment, with Eric Jarboe and Holly Hines executive producing for Happy Accidents. The screenplay is written by Taylor Kalupa and Masey McLain.
CandyRock Entertainment, Bure’s joint venture with Ford Englerth and Jeffery Brooks, has produced and distributed more than 40 television and film projects focused on family-friendly entertainment.
What to Watch For
As Great American Media continues to expand its holiday lineup, One More Christmas looks positioned as one of the network’s early attention-grabbers for 2026. Between Bure’s ongoing creative role, Scarfe’s addition, and the familiar mix of Christmas setting and emotional reconciliation, the film fits squarely within the network’s brand while giving viewers a story built around family tension, weather-forced closeness, and possible renewal.
