McDonald’s is adding a dose of Dr. Seuss mischief to its holiday menu as The Grinch slips into participating U.S. restaurants with a limited time meal beginning Dec. 2.
The collaboration with Dr. Seuss Enterprises introduces a new twist on the chain’s fries and includes a wearable extra tucked into every order.
The Grinch Meal pairs classic McDonald’s items with the first U.S. appearance of Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries.
Customers shake tangy seasoning over fries inside the McShaker bag for a sharper flavor than the traditional version. The meal includes a choice of a Big Mac or a 10 piece Chicken McNuggets and a medium drink.
Extras inside every order
Each meal contains a pair of Grinch themed socks featuring messages inspired by the character. The socks come in four color variations and mirror the character’s habit of improvising holiday accessories.
New menu items in the meal
- Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries
- Grinch themed socks in four color options
The Grinch offered his own note about the launch, claiming the effort was motivated by mischief rather than generosity, and urging customers to try the meal when it arrives on Dec. 2.
