If you haven’t tried it before, the McDonald’s Holiday Pie is a tasty portable pie filled with creamy vanilla custard that tastes like a sugar cookie! It’s my favourite dessert on their menu, and I make my own version that’s even better!
McDonald’s Christmas pie isn’t available all year, and they’re highly discreet about when they have it in stock. As a result, I decided to cook this sweet and delectable dessert at home. I finally acquired the ideal formula after a lot of study and practise. So, let’s have a look at how you may prepare this pie at home.
McDonald’s Christmas pie recipe consists mostly of three steps: preparing the crust, making the filling, and garnishing. To begin, prepare the crust by combining flour, sugar, salt, and oil. Then, combine the pudding mix, milk, and yellow cake mix to form the filling. Make rectangles out of the dough and stuff them with filling. Bake for about 15-20 minutes.
MCDONALD’S HOLIDAY PIE
Years ago, my sister raved about these pies and demanded that I take her through the drive-through to purchase one. I’d heard of McDonald’s apple pies before, but not their holiday pies. Intrigued, I succumbed and took her on a late-night drive-through.
As you may imagine, I became a huge fan! It was difficult not to like these pies with their bright sprinkles, creamy centre, and sugar cookie-inspired filling. The only problem is that the chain only sells these pies for a short period. So, what should a food blogger do?
Of sure, I’ll make my own! And, dare I say, as much as I adore the drive-through delight, my handmade version is much better.
I know you’re enthusiastic about this dish. So, without further ado, let’s get to the complete recipe. But, before you receive the recipe, have a look at our other copycat dishes below.

EQUIPMENT

- Small Dish
- Bowl
INGREDIENTS
For Crust
- 1 ½ cup Wholegrain Flour
- ½ cup Cooking Oil
- 1 ½ cups White Flour
- 180 ml Cold Water
- A pinch of Salt
- 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar

- 1 Jell-O Instant Vanilla Mix
- ¼ cup Pillsbury Yellow Cake Mix
- ⅓ cup Jimmies Cake Sprinkles
For Garnishing Pastry
- 1 Large Egg

INSTRUCTIONS
To Make Crust
- In a medium-sized mixing basin, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Using a spoon, combine the ingredients.
- Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until it turns cold.
- Fill a small dish halfway with oil. Place it in the freezer while you heat your oven to almost 380oF.
- Now, add the oil to the flour and continue to whisk continually.
- Finally, add enough water to produce a smooth dough.
To Make Filling
- In a separate dish, combine the milk and the pudding mix. When adding a pudding mix, make sure to whisk the milk.
- Finally, add the yellow cake mix. If you’re using sprinkles, you may also add them.
To Make McDonald’s Holiday Pies
- Roll your batter with the assistance of a moving pin on a delicately floured surface. Attempt to move the mixture as dainty as could really be expected.
- At the point when your batter turns out to be level and uniform in thickness, cut the mixture into square shapes. The square shapes should be two times the length they are wide.
- Presently, partition the square shapes into two heaps to make the base and the top.
- Put the filling into the focal point of every square shape (try to leave a hole around the edges). Brush the edges with water so that edges will be appropriately fixed.
- Take one more square shape from your top heap and spot it over the filling. Presently, with the assistance of a fork, seal the edges and make a little opening in the highest point of every pie which assists with permitting steam to vent and keep the pie from spilling.
- Presently, brush the highest point of the pie with a beaten egg and from that point forward, dust with the sprinkles.
- Finally, heat them on a baking sheet for very nearly 15-20 minutes or until they are brilliant brown.
