The McDonald’s Grinch Meal Ruled Q4, 2025

Dr. Seuss Enterprises and McDonald’s team up for a holiday collaboration featuring Dill Pickle McShaker Fries, collectible Grinch socks and plenty of seasonal mischief.

The Grinch has left Mt. Crumpit, and this time he has his sights set on the Golden Arches.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises and McDonald’s have teamed up to bring the wonderfully wicked world of Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! to McDonald’s restaurants nationwide with The Grinch Meal, a limited-time holiday offering launching December 2.

At the center of the collaboration are Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries, making their U.S. debut. Guests can pour the tangy dill pickle seasoning into a McShaker bag, add McDonald’s World Famous Fries®, and give everything a shake for a mischievous new spin on a McDonald’s favorite.

The Grinch Meal pairs the seasoned fries with a choice of a Big Mac® or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets®, along with a medium drink.

And because the Grinch couldn’t resist leaving his mark on the holidays, each meal also comes with a pair of Grinch-themed socks featuring messages inspired by everyone’s favorite holiday troublemaker. The collectible socks are available in four colorful designs and are perfect for wearing, gifting or even turning into a delightfully Grinchy miniature stocking.

The collaboration brings together two instantly recognizable cultural icons for a playful celebration of the holiday season, giving families and fans another way to experience the humor, imagination and mischief of Dr. Seuss’s beloved character.

The Grinch Meal will be available beginning December 2 at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the U.S. for a limited time, while supplies last.

Whether you’re feeling merry, mischievous or somewhere in between, the Grinch has officially found a new way to shake up the holidays.
