Summary
- McDonald's launches Grinch Meal featuring new Dill Pickle McShaker Fries.
- The meal includes a choice of Big Mac or nuggets and themed socks.
- This Grinch Meal was previously available in Canada and Australia.
McDonald's is ushering in the holiday season with the debut of its limited-edition Grinch Meal, launching on December 2. This festive offering introduces the brand-new Dill Pickle "Grinch Salt" McShaker Fries to the U.S. market, allowing customers to customize their desired level of dill pickle flavor. The meal comes complete with a choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece chicken nuggets, a medium drink, and a pair of exclusive Grinch and McDonald's themed socks, available in red, green, blue, or yellow.
The Grinch Meal previously made appearances on menus in Canada and Australia, suggesting its popular return to U.S. locations. The addition of McShaker Fries has particularly excited fans, with many expressing long-held desires for this menu item to be available stateside. "The Grinch gets it-the holidays are chaotic, and he's thrilled to give our fandom permission to embrace their inner Grinch," stated Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer of McDonald's USA.
This seasonal promotion follows the recent return of McDonald's annual Holiday Pie and comes on the heels of a sales boost attributed to the re-release of the Snack Wrap. The company has also employed other strategies, such as the Extra Value Menu and its popular Monopoly game promotion, to attract customers during the busy holiday period.
