UPDATE: McDonald’s is set to launch its festive Grinch Meal on December 2, 2025, at participating locations across the USA. This playful collaboration with The Grinch is designed to inject some holiday mischief into the fast-food giant’s menu with a limited-time offering that fans won’t want to miss.
The highlight of the Grinch Meal is the new Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt,” which adds a tangy twist to the chain’s classic fries. Customers can enjoy the zesty flavor with either a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, along with a medium drink. This special item promises to make your holiday dining experience more exciting.
McDonald’s aims to embrace the Grinch’s notorious holiday spirit by incorporating themed packaging and seasonally inspired flavors. The promotion also features a delightful collectible: Grinch-themed socks in one of four colors, included with each meal while supplies last.
In a cheeky statement embodying the Grinch’s character, he declares, “THiS iS MY MEAL AND i DiDN’T PARTNER WiTH McDONALD’S OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART. i SAW AN OPPORTUNiTY TO BRiNG MiSCHiEF TO YOUR BELOVED ‘RESTAURANT’ WiTH MY DELiCiOUS CHAOS FOR THE HOLiDAYS AND i TOOK iT.”
McDonald’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, Alyssa Buetikofer, emphasizes the intent behind this launch, stating, “The Grinch gets it — the holidays are chaotic, and he’s thrilled to give our fandom permission to embrace their inner Grinch with his festive mischievous meal and spirited socks.”
This meal will not replace McDonald’s existing menu items; instead, it serves as a fun seasonal addition. Customers are encouraged to grab the Grinch Meal starting December 2, which promises to enhance the holiday dining experience with a splash of fun and flavor.
Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches, and prepare to indulge in a meal that captures the essence of holiday mischief!
