The deal includes all flavours of milkshakes, subject to availability, so you can pick from either vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or banana.

Customers can choose either a milkshake or a Coke Zero, not both - sorry, and the freebie can only be redeemed once per person.

The most you can save is £1.59 if you go for the milkshake, as opposed to a Coke Zero which usually costs 99p for a medium size.

Do keep in mind that McDonald’s prices vary between restaurants so the exact amount you save will depend on which one you visit.

The free drink is available to all My McDonald’s app users, no matter if you're a new or existing customer.

The app is free to download through Google Play or the App Store.

Once you're good to go, head to the "Deals" section where you'll find a button for your free drink.

Click this, then choose either your milkshake or Coke Zero.

If you can't decide which milkshake flavour to go for, you might want to know that vanilla is the best in terms of calories, packing 377 for a medium drink.

Banana is the most calorific at 386 calories - more than a medium chocolate drink which contains 380 calories and strawberry, which has 379.

As its name suggests, Coke Zero has no calories and sugar but like any sugary drink, it isn't necessarily a healthy option either.

Your free drink can't be redeemed on Uber Eats so you'll need to actually be near a McDonald's restaurant to pick up your order.

But the good news is there are plenty of Maccies to choose from, as the majority of their 1,200 restaurants will be taking part in the freebie.

Only 28 eateries are excluded because they aren't on the app.

This means you'll need to check the terms and conditions when the deal goes live to check your nearest restaurant is taking part.

Diners can use the online store finder to track down their nearest McDonald's.

You can claim your free drink all-day except for breakfast hours, which are typically 5am until 11am in most restaurants, and you don't need to buy anything else on the menu to get it.

The drink deal is part of McDonald's month-long Appy Days promo, running throughout January.

Today's offer is a free bacon roll will any hot drink ordered on the app before 11am today.

Other freebies include McMuffins and cheese melt dippers for app users.

As well as this, free fries were also given away last week by the fast food chain.
