Skip and McDonald's Canada are teaming up on a promotion that mixes app orders, live events, and meal deals across the country. From November 2 to December 13, 2026, eligible customers can enter for a chance to win a year's worth of McDonald's, with 10 nationwide winners selected through the contest and four more crowned live at in person events.
The headline prize has 14 winners in total
This giveaway has two parts, and that distinction matters. Ten winners will be selected nationwide through the main contest tied to eligible McDonald's orders placed on Skip during the promotional period.
A separate set of four winners will be crowned live at promotional events in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Edmonton. Taken together, that makes 14 winners in total, not just the 10 named in the national draw.
The prize itself is substantial. Each grand prize winner receives up to 365 McDonald's order redemptions, valued at up to $30 each, plus a complimentary Skip+ membership. The terms describe these as redemptions, which means the prize should not be framed as one order that must be used on each calendar day.
The contest runs from November 2 to December 13, 2026
The timing is straightforward, but it is important to get it exactly right. The contest period begins on November 2, 2026 and ends on December 13, 2026.
To enter, customers need to place and complete an order from a participating McDonald's through Skip during that window. The key point is that both steps matter. Starting an order is not enough if it is not completed.
This setup ties the giveaway directly to actual purchases made through the delivery platform. It also keeps the contest nationwide, since eligible entries come from qualifying Skip orders rather than from attendance at a single event.
Skip+ members get a better shot with triple entries
One of the most valuable details in this promotion is the entry boost for subscribers. Skip+ members receive three entries for every qualifying McDonald's order placed and completed during the contest period.
That gives members a clear numerical advantage over non members, who receive a single entry per qualifying order. In practical terms, the difference can add up quickly for people who order more than once during the six week campaign.
The extra entries are paired with another perk at the prize stage. Grand prize winners also receive a complimentary Skip+ membership, so the subscription appears both in the entry mechanics and in the winner package itself.
Four live events add a second path to winning
The in person portion of the promotion will travel to four Canadian cities, and each stop starts at 12 PM local time. On November 7, the event takes place in Toronto at 3 Blue Jays Way.
The next stop is November 14 in Winnipeg at The Forks. After that, the promotion heads to Calgary on November 21 at Stephen Avenue Walk, then wraps its live run in Edmonton on November 28 at ICE District Plaza.
These events are more than brand showcases. Each one will crown one additional winner live, creating the four event based winners that sit alongside the 10 nationwide grand prize winners selected through the broader contest.
The event lineup includes prizes, samples and a spin wheel
The live stops are designed to feel busy and public facing, with several activities packed into each date. Attendees can expect a digital spin wheel, a marching band, food samples, and exclusive Skip vouchers, while supplies last.
There is also a smaller but still useful giveaway built into every event. Ten $100 Skip gift cards will be handed out at each stop, also while supplies last.
That means the events offer more than one kind of reward. Even people who do not leave as the featured winner at a particular location may still have a shot at gift cards, vouchers, or samples, depending on availability at the time they arrive.
Three rotating BOGO meal deals run through the campaign
Alongside the contest, the promotion includes three rotating BOGO Extra Value Meal offers at participating McDonald's on Skip. The first is Big Mac Meals, available from November 2 to November 15.
The second offer runs from November 16 to November 29 and features 10 piece Chicken McNugget Meals. The final rotation starts on November 30 and continues through December 13, covering Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meals.
These offers give the campaign a steady rhythm across the full contest period. Instead of one static discount, customers get a sequence of familiar menu items that changes every two weeks, which helps explain why the promotion is being framed as both a contest and a rolling meal deal event.
