McDonald's Merry Meal's Socks Sparked Festive FOMO
McDonald's India (West & South), owned and operated by Westlife Foodworld, witnessed an overwhelming consumer response to its limited-edition Santa Socks, launched as part of the Merry Meal. The festive merchandise was completely sold out across West and South India before Christmas, turning a seasonal collectible into one of the most talked-about festive drops of the year. McDonald’s India’s Christmas Special Santa Socks Sold Out in 5 Days Demand surged rapidly, led by Mumbai as the fastest-selling city, followed closely by Ahmedabad. The campaign saw 1,50,000 socks sold just within five days, reflecting the speed and scale at which consumer excitement translated into action. The buzz around the Santa socks was driven by consumers themselves. More than 200+ organic social media reels featuring the Socks appeared across platforms, creating a strong sense of FOMO and urgency around the collectible. Some went a step further and created their own versions of the socks, wearing lookalikes simply to feel part of the moment. A key factor behind this response was the creative approach. Instead of releasing a traditional festive brand film, the brand chose to tell the story through a Gen Z–forward, lifestyle film that felt authentic to the way people consume and share content today. The film helped position the Merry Meal as a cultural moment that felt fun, relatable, and worth sharing. As the year turns and festive moments linger, the McDonald’s India Socks story stands as proof that when cultural insight meets organic consumer love, even a small festive detail can leave a lasting impression! www.instagram.com/reel/DSPnAHjkc1u/?hl=en Over the years, McDonald’s has delighted fans across ages with iconic toys, novelties and seasonal keepsakes. Building on this legacy, the Merry Meal brought that excitement back with a collectible and limited edition pair of Christmas Socks, available in two unique festive designs, which fans could wear, gift, and swap or add to their growing McDonald’s memorabilia. Lavdeep Walia, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer, McDonald’s India (W&S) , said, “ For decades, we have been part of countless family moments. The Merry Meal was designed to bring families and friends together over great food, festive fun and a little extra cheer, because nothing says celebration like a delicious meal with a surprise that warms your heart (and your feet!). This initiative was our way of strengthening everyday occasions and creating touchpoints that keep people coming together at our restaurants. Our intent is to continue shaping occasions wherein communities gather, celebrate and create memories that last beyond the meal.” About Westlife Westlife Foodworld Limited (BSE: 505533) (WFL), formerly known as Westlife Development Ltd (WDL), focuses on setting up and operating Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) in India through its subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt.
