McDonald's is encouraging fan hacks by debuting four fan-favorite creations on menus across the country for a limited time, according to a company press release.

Starting Jan. 31, customers can visit a local participating McDonald's or use the McDonald's app to order the custom menu hacks by name.

"From Hip-Hop icons to Christmas queens, everyone has a unique go-to McDonald's order, including our everyday customers. This campaign shows that it has never been 'our menu' — the menu belongs to our fans," Jennifer Healan, vice president, U.S. marketing, brand content and engagement for McDonald's USA, said in the release. "We're excited to celebrate them in a bigger way than ever before by putting their delicious hacks — as seen on social media — on our menus. I personally can't wait for our fans to try my favorite hack, the Hash Brown McMuffin. IYKYK."

Here's what made the cut:

• The Hash Brown McMuffin (offered during breakfast hours only) : "I've been saying for years that the Hash Brown goes inside of the Sausage McMuffin with Egg … that extra little crispy bite is the real breakfast cheat code." — Sarah Sandlin (@sarahmargaretsandlin)
• The Crunchy Double: "It's simple, yet so tasty...Chicken McNuggets topped with a Double Cheeseburger, then drizzled with Tangy Barbeque Sauce. Order it now and thank me later." — Greg Simms (@grubwithgreg)
• The Land, Air & Sea: "A McChicken, stacked on a Big Mac, stacked on a Filet-O-Fish… it's the flavor I never knew I needed, until I needed it. Go big baby!" — Julian Broadway (@julianbroadway)
• The Surf + Turf: "Sometimes I'm craving the flaky crunch of a Filet-O-Fish, sometimes I want the juiciness of a Double Cheeseburger, and sometimes I want both. So why choose?" — PJ Mattingly (@heavyhands94)

McDonald's operates approximately 13,500 U.S. restaurants. The chain in based in Chicago.
