McDonald’s U.S. is preparing for the upcoming holiday season with a special guest. The Grinch is taking over the brand’s locations nationwide, spreading its unique charm everywhere. The special appearance tops with a bold flavor twist, redefining the brand’s beloved fries.
The Grinch Takes Over McDonald’s: A Culinary Caper
The holiday season is taking over brands nationwide, and McDonald’s is not far behind. This time, the holiday season is to experience a unique glow as The Grinch takes over the chain. Made in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, McDonald’s will soon debut The Grinch Meal in participating restaurants.
The Grinch Meal is not the only place customers will find the presence of this holiday villain turned hero. Look out for a pair of spirited socks with messages scribbled by The Grinch himself, sneaked into every meal. Letting everyone know his feelings this holiday season, they can also be used as an impromptu stocking.
Offered in four colors, the socks are a good addition to the Christmas decor at home. McDonald’s is truly wrapping everyone in the holiday spirit. Bringing this unhinged yet nostalgic character for this special holiday, it is targeting the right audience.
A Diabolical Culinary Debut of a Bold Twist on Fries
Arriving for the first time in the U.S., the Dill Pickle McShaker Fries are at the center of this meal. Sprinkled with tangy dill pickle seasoning, this special twist is named the Grinch Salt in this edition. Customers can shake the fries with the seasoning packet inside the McShaker bag that will delight the taste buds.
The delightful experience only gets better when it is paired with a Big Mac of choice or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets. It’s designed as a quick holiday pick-me-up for guests on the go.
The meal releases on December 2, 2025, in participating restaurants nationwide. It is available for a limited time, until supplies last. So don’t miss out on the most mischievous fries ever and grab some of the Grinch Salt.
