McDonald’s to Launch Grinch Meal with Dill Pickle Fries on Dec. 2

CHICAGO, Nov. 20, 2025 – McDonald’s USA has announced a new promotional meal inspired by Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch. The Grinch Meal will be available starting Dec. 2 and features a unique twist on the classic menu.

The meal includes Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries, marking their first introduction in the United States. Customers can sprinkle the tangy seasoning onto their fries and shake for added flavor. The meal also consists of a choice between a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, accompanied by a medium drink.

In a nod to the holiday season, each Grinch Meal comes with a pair of festive socks, adorned with messages from the Grinch. These socks come in four vibrant colors and can serve as makeshift stockings.

The Grinch himself expressed excitement about the collaboration in a handwritten note. “THIS IS MY MEAL AND I DIDN’T PARTNER WITH MCDONALD’S OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART,” he wrote. “I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING MISCHIEF TO YOUR BELOVED RESTAURANT WITH MY DELICIOUS CHAOS FOR THE HOLIDAYS.”

This limited-time offer will only be available while supplies last at participating McDonald’s locations across the country. McDonald’s has noted that approximately 95% of its 13,500 U.S. restaurants are independently owned and operated.
