• Cheesy Chicken: Flame-grilled chicken paired with a juicy egg patty, balanced with tangy habanero sauce, crisp gherkins, and lettuce in a protein bun, offering a layered, flavour-packed bite.

Staying true to McDonald’s “Proudly Indian” commitment, all ingredients, from mushrooms and lettuce to chicken and eggs, are sourced from trusted Indian suppliers, supporting local farmers while ensuring freshness and quality.

Chinese Wok, India’s largest home-grown Desi Chinese QSR chain, has announced the launch of Wok Winter Feast, a limited-period winter dining celebration offering its entire menu at ₹149 across India. The nationwide campaign will run from December 19 to December 21, 2025, and will be available at all Chinese Wok outlets for dine-in and takeaway.

The three-day winter feast is designed around seasonal dining behaviour in India, where winter typically sees an increase in social outings, family gatherings, and festive travel, alongside a growing preference for hot, spicy, and comfort-led meals. By unlocking its full menu at a single special price point, Chinese Wok aims to encourage menu exploration while making its popular Desi Chinese offerings more accessible to a wider audience.

The initiative allows customers to enjoy a wide range of Chinese Wok favourites, including signature rice and noodle bowls, momos, appetisers, and flavour-packed combinations. The value-led pricing also lowers the entry barrier for first-time customers, while offering regular patrons an opportunity to try new categories during the peak winter break period. The campaign is expected to resonate strongly with families, students, and young professionals across markets.

Wok Winter Feast builds on the momentum of Chinese Wok’s ongoing Wok Mania campaign, which is running from December 12 to December 19, 2025, and has been driving increased footfalls through cricket-led in-store engagement. By extending this excitement into a winter-focused value celebration, the brand aims to maximise dining demand in the lead-up to Christmas and the New Year.

Commenting on the launch, Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder and Director, Lenexis Foodworks, said, “Winter is about indulgence, togetherness and comfort-led food, and Wok Winter Feast brings that behaviour to life at an accessible price point. By offering our entire menu at ₹149, we are democratising the Desi Chinese experience and inviting more consumers to enjoy the full breadth of Chinese Wok’s flavours, reinforcing our mission of making bold, satisfying food accessible to all.”

Adding to this, Vikas Iyer, Marketing Head, Lenexis Foodworks, shared, “The timing of Wok Winter Feast is driven by a clear consumer insight. Winter is when dining out peaks and Desi Chinese becomes a natural choice for shared meals. The special pricing is designed to encourage customers to explore more of our menu, while the strong response to our ongoing Wok Mania campaign has given us the momentum to build December into a month-long celebration for the brand and our consumers.”

With Wok Winter Feast, Chinese Wok continues to strengthen its positioning as one of India’s most-loved Desi Chinese QSR brands, combining seasonal relevance, strong consumer engagement, and value-driven innovation to bring people together over comforting winter flavours.

Koffelo, a new-age Indian coffee brand known for innovation and convenience, has introduced NOC (Nitrogen Over Coffee), India’s first ultra-fast cold brew liquid shot. Using patented super drop technology, NOC brews smooth, café-style cold brew in just five seconds, offering a modern, premium coffee experience outside cafés.

Each compact 20 mL shot is crafted from carefully selected Brazilian and Ethiopian Arabica beans. Slow-extracted for rich flavour and sealed for freshness, NOC delivers 2.4× more natural caffeine with only 15 calories, low acidity, no synthetic stimulants, and zero added sugar or preservatives.

Designed to look, sound, and taste like a café-crafted cold brew, NOC collapses the hours-long brewing process into an instant experience without compromising smoothness or purity. It blends effortlessly with hot or cold water, milk, soda, tonic, lemonade, smoothies, cocktails, or mocktails, creating a satisfying hiss, a cascading swirl, and a creamy foamy finish reminiscent of premium café drinks.

NOC is also a healthier alternative to energy drinks, making it an ideal choice for professionals, students, athletes, gamers, and travellers seeking a convenient, energizing beverage.

Gaurav Varshney, Founder of Koffelo, shares:

"India’s cold brew market is growing rapidly, but innovation has been limited. Cold brew was either too slow or inaccessible. With NOC, we didn’t want to improve cold brew, we wanted to reinvent it. Now, the premium café experience is available instantly, anytime, anywhere."

NOC is part of Koffelo’s expanding portfolio under Morning Brew Pvt. Ltd., which aims to build India’s most modern, convenience-led coffee ecosystem. With this launch, Koffelo strengthens its position as a pioneer in premium, fast, and experiential coffee solutions for the Indian market.
