USA TODAY tries out McDonald’s Grinch holiday menu featuring dill pickle fries and collectible socks.
McDonald’s Grinch meal has arrived in chat just in time for Christmas.
The limited-edition holiday dinner, inspired by the grumpy but beloved Christmas character, hits stores on Tuesday, December 2, and is already creating a buzz on social media. Meal highlights include new dill pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker fries and Grinch-themed socks.
McShaker fries consist of classic McDonald’s fries with dill pickle seasoning, and customers can create their own tangy fries by mixing cut spuds and seasoning together in a McShaker bag.
The Grinch meal was first introduced in Canada in 2024. The meal’s success made it “a no-brainer” to bring it to the U.S., Alyssa Butikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer for McDonald’s USA, said in a statement.
