CHICAGO - McDonald's is bringing back a festive dessert item to its menu in certain U.S. cities.
The Holiday Pie, described as "the greatest gift to yourself," comes with custard in a "flaky, buttery crust" glazed with sugar and topped with rainbow sprinkles.
The 260-calorie treat is currently available at participating McDonald's restaurants, according to its website.

McDonald’s did not immediately return a request for comment on the specific locations where fans can get their hands on a Holiday Pie. However, the company confirmed to People that it’s in the following select cities: Seattle, Los Angeles, St. Louis, New York City, Cleveland, Memphis and Dallas.
The Holiday Pie first made its debut in 1999, according to Reader’s Digest.
Starbucks holiday drinks return with Refreshers
Meanwhile, other holiday menus have returned – including at Starbucks with its red cups. The coffee giant unveiled its new and returning holiday drinks and food earlier this month.
Some of the returning favorites include Peppermint Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, and various holiday cold foams. New this year is a trio of Starbucks drink refreshers that feature "a delicious combination of sweet orange and warm spices to complement the crisp cranberry taste."
The new refreshers include a Cran-Merry Orange Refresher, Cran-Merry Orange Lemonade Refresher, and a Cran-Merry Drink with creamy coconut milk.
