In each box, customers will find their typical Happy Meal order of choice, along with one of 12 adorable Squishmallows — and this time, “the pocket-sized plushies are showing off with an even happier, more adorable smile.”
Each Squishmallow included in the Happy Meal comes with a character hang tag, which will share the name and a little about your new Squish, as well as a code to scan for an interactive game.
