McDonald’s Debuts Grinch Meal With New Dill Pickle McShaker Fries
McDonald’s is adding a new holiday item to its menu: The Grinch Meal, available in the U.S. starting December 2, 2025. The limited-time meal includes a choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, a medium drink, and fries seasoned with the new Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker seasoning — the first time this flavor is offered in the United States.
Each Grinch Meal also comes with a pair of Grinch-themed socks in one of four colors. McDonald’s is framing the drop as a holiday promo built around the character’s familiar attitude, using the Grinch’s voice in its announcement.
The Grinch Meal has launched in other countries before, but this is its U.S. debut. It will be available only for a limited time and only at participating locations. McDonald’s expects demand to be high because of the new fry seasoning and the collectible socks.
