And no, Brewdog are not collaborating with Ronald McDonald this Christmas.
If you're not feeling festive this year, or would simply rather forego the hassle of cooking an entire turkey dinner- Brewdog have come up with the ultimate solution for Christmas dinner.
Embrace your inner child and opt for a very grown up 'Hoppy Meal' box to enjoy over the Christmas period.
Similar to a McDonald's Happy Meal, the takeaway meal is served from a cardboard box and complete with fries, a burger and a toy.

To make it a festive box, the brewery giants haven't just popped a bauble on the box, but they're serving their special Blitzen Burger: a monster meal in a burger that features all your Christmas favourites, and all the trimmings.
No reindeers included.
Instead, think buttermilk fried turkey, roast gammon, sausage, stuffing, brussel sprout slaw, turkey gravy dipping sauce, garnished with a pig in blanket.

Or for vegans, a plant-based alternative is available that's just as tasty. Derived from a Beyond Meat patty and served with vegan chipotle slaw, vegan gouda cheese, roasted red peppers, baby gem and pickles, all encased between two slices of vegan beetroot brioche buns.
To complete the Hoppy Meal, guests will also receive either sweet potato fries or regular fries and an eco-friendly cracker.
To wash it all down with and to differentiate your meal deal from a Children's portion, the Hoppy Meal also comes with a festive-flavoured drink to wash it all down with: the Hoppy Xmas beer.

Of course, to purchase the entire Hoppy Meal, you must be over 18 and within distance of one of the Brewdog stores to collect from participating stores.
Here in Leeds we have two Brewdogs, one on North Street in the city centre, and the other in Headingley on Otley Road and although neither store have actively promoted the Christmas Hoppy Meal, the stores both stock the non-festive version, so it's fairly likely the staff will accommodate your Hoppy Meal over the Christmas period.

Major DJ has set cancelled as overcrowding concerns continue at Leeds Festival
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.
‘Actually lost for words’ – huge artist speaks out as Leeds Festival set is cancelled due to overcrowding
Clementine Hall
For the second day in a row, a huge set has been cancelled due to overcrowding at Reading and Leeds Festival.
Day two of the festival and there's some pretty disappointed ravers hanging their head as one of the biggest dance music sets of the day is cancelled.
Omar+, a rising British electronic DJ and producer, was due to play on the brand-new Warehouse stage at Reading yesterday and Leeds today.
Yesterday's set was cancelled last minute due to overcrowding, and low and behold the same has happened here in Leeds.
Announcing the sad news to his story, Omar+ said "Actually lost for words. My Leeds set has been cancelled due to overcrowding."
He then went on to show a screenshot of a text message, reading: "I've never seen something like this in my entire life where two shows back to back are cancelled due to overcrowding."
