Shania Twain Partners with McDonald's Canada for Limited-Time Menu Items

Shania Twain has partnered with McDonald's Canada for a limited-time menu featuring all-dressed McShaker fries and a strawberry pie, dubbed "Shania's Sides." The collaboration marks Twain's return to her hometown of Toronto, where she previously worked at McDonald's before becoming a global country star. The partnership follows similar collaborations with Angel Reese and Ryan Reynolds for McDonald's and Tim Hortons, respectively.

Country superstar Shania Twain has collaborated with McDonald's Canada to introduce "Shania's Sides," a limited-time menu featuring all-dressed McShaker fries and a strawberry pie. The partnership, which marks a full-circle moment for Twain, celebrates her roots in Toronto, where she worked at McDonald's as a teenager before becoming a global country star. The collaboration is set to launch on August 12, 2025, and will be available at participating McDonald's restaurants across Canada [1].

The menu items include All Dressed McShaker fries, which are McDonald's World Famous Fries coated in the iconic All Dressed seasoning, and a strawberry pie that wraps real strawberry pieces in a warm, flaky golden brown crust. Additionally, a limited-edition cowboy boot keychain will be available with the purchase of an Extra Value Meal [2].

Twain's partnership with McDonald's Canada is part of a broader strategy by the fast-food giant to revitalize its brand by regaining market share and boosting growth after recent slowdowns. The company has previously collaborated with other celebrities, including Angel Reese and Ryan Reynolds, to launch exclusive meals and generate buzz among fans [3].

While the financial impact of the Shania Twain partnership on McDonald's Canada is yet to be determined, similar collaborations have historically driven food traffic and generated significant social media buzz. After reporting a 1% decline in global same-store sales during the first quarter of 2025, McDonald's bounced back with a 3.8% increase in the second quarter, potentially indicating the effectiveness of its celebrity partnership strategy [4].
