The small matter of every UK McDonald's being closed during lockdown wasn't going to stop LadBaby from getting his eldest lad a Happy Meal for his birthday.
In lieu of being able to get his hands on the real deal, West Bridgford-born Youtube star Mark Hoyle, decided to recreate the drive-thru experience at home - and he's even made a free online simulator so fellow parents can try it at home with their kids.
Sharing his 'hack' across his brand's social media pages, the video has now clocked up more than 12 million views with parents trying the fun at-home experience across the country and world.

Using some yellow and grey sticky tape, cardboard, frozen chicken nuggets and fries, a ride-in toy car and smart TV, Mark, 32, brought a McDonald's Drive-thru into his Hemel Hempstead living room.
The Dad of the Year 2018 added authenticity to the experience by recording footage of an empty McDonald's restaurant while on a drive to pick up essentials for his family.
He then made a video of himself as a fast food employee, wearing a homemade uniform, taking an order.
Putting these clips together, he made an online drive-thru simulator which can be accessed for free on Youtube by anyone, just click here.
The 'hack' wasn't just enjoyed by Mark's son Phoenix (featured in the video with mum Rox) but by fans across the globe.
More than 74,000 responded to the post on the official LadBaby Facebook page.
One user wrote: "This is honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life! All your little boy wanted for his birthday was to go to Maccies and through no fault of his own that couldn't happen. So you brought Maccies to him... and dad of the decade award goes to...".
Another said: "This is absolutely amazing Mark. What a legend. Such a good dad! My boys would love this!"
