The holiday season just got a little more mischievous, and McDonald’s is leading the celebration with a festive twist. The fast-food giant has teamed up with Dr. Seuss’s iconic green troublemaker to introduce The Grinch Meal, headlined by the bold and tangy Grinch-Style Pickle Fries. This new holiday meal brings fun, flavor, and a spark of chaos to the Golden Arches.
A Tangy Twist: The Focus on Grinch-Style Pickle Fries
The star of the show this season is the Grinch-Style Pickle Fries, a fresh spin on McDonald’s classic fries. These Dill Pickle McShaker Fries come with a special seasoning that adds a punchy mix of dill, tang, and a little holiday mischief. Just sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, shake it well, and enjoy a bold flavor that stands out from your usual menu picks.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet holiday moment or battling the festive rush, these pickle fries aim to deliver a fun and unique taste experience.

The Grinch Meal makes the holidays feel special with a complete bundle that includes:
- Choice of Big Mac® or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets®

Each meal comes with one of four colorful sock designs, each scribbled with messages that perfectly capture the Grinch’s playful attitude. They also double as impromptu holiday stockings—just the kind of chaotic creativity he’d approve of.
