Although Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, declaring six more weeks of winter, McDonald’s just brought back their fan-favorite spring product to start the season early. Who needs Groundhog Day—the Shamrock Shake’s return means spring has begun.

Well, not literally, but the arrival of spring signals the return of this iconic St. Patrick's Day treat. If you're feeling lucky that this treat is returning to popular chain restaurant near you, did you know that you can make this frozen favorite at home -- any time of year for a fraction of the cost?

Grimace and Uncle O’Grimacey are welcoming the Shamrock Shake back to restaurants nationwide on Monday, Feb. 10
