McDonald’s Canada and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have partnered to offer customers “The Grinch Meal” from December 3 for a imited time. The holiday offering features the choice of a Big Mac, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, or McChicken sandwich, accompanied by the new Dill Pickle McShaker Fries and a medium fountain drink. It also includes a pair of exclusive mismatch Grinch socks.
The Dill Pickle McShaker Fries are a new twist on the popular menu staple. Just add the Dill Pickle seasoning into the bag of fries, give it a shake, and presto – a new tangy flavor is ready to be savored.
“The Grinch is an iconic holiday character that is known and loved by Canadians of all ages,” said Rebecca Smart, brand strategy director at McDonald’s Canada. “To bring The Grinch to life as part of our holiday menu offering this year and stay authentic to his character, we leaned into his mischievous ways and had him tinker with our menu to bring something fun and festive to all Canadians – The Grinch Meal. It’s been a few years since we last launched a holiday-focused program, so we were excited to bring some festive magic to our fans with this campaign.”
New Festive Menu additions
In addition to The Grinch Meal and new seasonal Grinch-themed cup designs for hot beverages, this year’s festive menu lineup at participating restaurants also offers:
• Frozen Hot Chocolate McFlurry® – A favorite treat retold – hot chocolate but cold. With limited edition Grinch packaging, the Frozen Hot Chocolate McFlurry is made with rich cocoa powder and mini marshmallows swirled into smooth vanilla soft serve ice cream.

• Green Heart-Shaped Cookie – A sweet sugar cookie in the shape of a heart, topped with a festive green candy coating. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of every cookie helps support Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Room programs across Canada.
