Both treats will be available at participating locations February 20, nearly a month before St. Patrick's Day.
"Made with our creamy vanilla soft serve, blended with Shamrock Shake syrup and topped with a delicious, whipped topping, the Shamrock Shake quickly captured the hearts (and tastebuds) of America when it was first introduced in 1970," reads a statement from McDonald's.
Unfortunately for those who'd like the shakes year-round, they will only be available for a limited time while supplies last.
FAN REACTION
Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the return of the Shamrock Shake.

"Mmmm, I know, it's bad for you but remains a yearly ritual," said Steve Fazekas.
Others had been eagerly awaiting its return even before it was announced.
"It’s almost Shamrock Shake season nothing can bring me down," said The Real Joey Freshwater.
Some see the Shake as a harbinger of Spring.

The addition may help fans move on from what could be the last appearance for a fall favorite.
The iconic McRib Sandwich wrapped up its "Farewell Tour" on November 20, 2022.
McDonald's claims that last Fall was the final appearance of the beloved, limited-time rib sandwich.
Other menu items that were released for a limited time during the holidays include the Holiday Pie and Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder.

Unlike many major stores which are closing dozens of locations this winter, McDonald's is expanding in 2023.
The chain announced it will be opening 400 new locations in the US this year.
The expansion comes as the company has continued to show strong growth despite economic turbulence.
McDonald's is also joining Starbucks by starting to offer plastic cups with strawless lids at select locations.
The move is part of a broader effort to cut the company's carbon footprint.
Unlike the cups at Starbucks, these have re-sealable lids, helping you take them on the go.
