McDonald’s Unveils Grinch Menu with Dill Pickle Fries on Dec. 2
URGENT UPDATE: McDonald’s is set to launch its much-anticipated Grinch Meal on December 2, 2025, at participating locations across the USA. This playful collaboration with the beloved holiday character promises to add a zesty twist to the festive season, featuring a new Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” that will transform the chain’s classic fries into a flavorful holiday treat.
The Grinch Meal will be available for a limited time and includes McShaker Fries seasoned with the exclusive Grinch Salt, allowing fans to enjoy a unique dill pickle experience. Customers can choose between a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets as part of the meal, which also comes with a medium drink.
In a creative nod to the Grinch’s mischievous nature, McDonald’s has also included a fun collectible: Grinch-themed socks, offered in four different colors. These socks will be tucked into each meal while supplies last, making the experience even more special for fans.
The promotion’s whimsical marketing leverages the Grinch’s cheeky persona, with an official message stating,
“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.”

This exciting new menu item is not a complete overhaul of McDonald’s offerings but rather a delightful addition to its existing lineup, aimed at bringing joy and a sense of fun to the holiday season.
With only days left until the launch, fans are encouraged to mark their calendars for this tasty holiday treat. Expect a rush at participating locations as customers line up for the limited-time Grinch Meal, making it a must-try for those looking to celebrate the season with a twist.
