The Grinch Meal is a limited-edition holiday promotional meal offered by McDonald's in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises. It includes a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, a medium drink, Dill Pickle 'Grinch Salt' McShaker Fries (a DIY seasoned fries option), and a pair of collectible Grinch-themed socks.
The search spiked due to McDonald's official announcement on November 20, 2025, that the meal will be available for a limited time in the U.S. starting December 2, 2025. The inclusion of the unusual 'Grinch Salt' dill pickle-flavored fries, which were previously successful internationally, generated significant buzz.
The promotion is viewed as a successful marketing strategy, similar to 'adult Happy Meals,' leveraging nostalgia and novelty. There is high online discussion, primarily focusing on the polarising nature of the Dill Pickle 'Grinch Salt' fries, with fans eager to try the unique flavor and collect the themed socks.
