There's no holiday menu at all.

Sorry, festive coffee lovers! The Peppermint Latte at McDonald's Canada won't be coming back this year because of COVID-19.

Narcity confirmed with the fast-food chain that the seasonal drink isn't available because operations have been simplified during the pandemic.

That's to allow physical distancing to happen in kitchens so that everyone is safe.

Since operations have been simplified, McDonald's has a limited menu.

So, the Peppermint Latte isn't being sold because of that and there's no festive menu being offered at all this year.

However, there's still some holiday cheer as new festive cups for 2020 are currently available at locations across Canada.

They feature a winter landscape with people skating, skiing, decorating their house, waving to each other from a distance and much more.

If you really want to taste the season, Starbucks and Tim Hortons have holiday drinks and treats available right now that you can enjoy.
