Looking for a cool, sweet bargain that doesn’t cost a cent? McDonald’s Singapore has something exciting lined up—a one-day-only giveaway of their beloved Hershey’s Cone, absolutely free. Yes, you read that right. On 21 May 2025, selected MRT stations across Singapore will turn into hotspots for chocolate fans hoping to snag a creamy cone of chocolate goodness, courtesy of McDonald’s.
Now, why should anyone bother stepping out early on a weekday for an ice cream cone? Well, let’s dive into what makes this giveaway more than just a freebie—it’s a moment of simple indulgence, an iconic return of a fan favourite, and a charming little reason to brighten up an ordinary day.
What’s Happening on 21 May 2025?
McDonald’s is celebrating the return of its popular Hershey’s Cone by launching a nationwide giveaway—an on-ground activation where ‘Be Our Guest’ cards will be handed out to the public at key MRT station areas. These cards can be redeemed at any McDonald’s outlet across Singapore for one Hershey’s Cone, while stocks last.
But this isn’t just about the free dessert. This is McDonald’s taking one of their most-loved treats—the Hershey’s chocolate soft-serve—and giving thousands of people the chance to enjoy it on the house. Whether it’s a quick cool-down from the humid afternoon heat or a nostalgic throwback to the last time this creamy chocolate cone graced their menus, the Hershey’s Cone is back and McDonald’s is spreading the joy.
How to Get Your Free Hershey’s Cone
Here’s how it works: head to any of the listed MRT stations on 21 May 2025 from 11:30 AM onwards, and keep your eyes peeled for McDonald’s Hershey’s walkers. These brand ambassadors will be holding up vibrant posters and distributing the golden tickets—‘Be Our Guest’ cards that can be exchanged for a free Hershey’s Cone at any McDonald’s outlet islandwide.
To ensure fairness and crowd control, only the first 700 people per MRT location will receive a card, and each person is only entitled to one card. So yes, arriving early is a smart move if you’re serious about your chocolate fix.

Why Is Everyone So Obsessed with the Hershey’s Cone?
For those unfamiliar, the Hershey’s Cone is not just any chocolate ice cream. This is McDonald’s premium soft-serve infused with Hershey’s signature rich cocoa—silky, creamy, and intensely chocolatey. It’s served in a crisp cone that perfectly complements the smooth swirl of ice cream. It’s simple, yes, but that simplicity is what makes it so universally loved.
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has brought out this chocolatey delight, but it doesn’t stick around forever. When it appears on the menu, dessert fans rush to indulge before it disappears again. Its seasonal nature gives it a sort of cult status—people wait and hope for its return. And now, it’s not just back—it’s free.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This
Let’s be honest. Promotions like this don’t come along very often. Getting something of real value for free, especially from a globally recognised brand like McDonald’s, is a rare treat. And this isn’t a small-scale event either—this is McDonald’s tapping into their national footprint and giving back to their customers with genuine generosity.
Here’s why this is worth your time:
-
It’s Free – No purchase required, no strings attached. That’s refreshing in today’s age of conditions and small print.
-
It’s Hershey’s – One of the world’s most iconic chocolate brands paired with McDonald’s signature soft-serve. The result? A deliciously satisfying cone that doesn’t skimp on flavour.
-
It’s Fun – The campaign adds a bit of joy to the daily commute. Imagine getting off the MRT and being greeted with a free dessert card—it’s unexpected and delightful.
-
It’s Limited Edition – Once the cards are gone, that’s it. And once the Hershey’s Cone eventually leaves the menu, those who didn’t take part will have to wait for who-knows-how-long until it returns.
-
It’s Shareable – Whether it’s telling a friend to head down to their nearest MRT station, or redeeming your free cone together after work, the experience itself is meant to be shared. It’s an opportunity for people to connect over something simple and sweet.
