McDonald's Launches Limited Grinch Meal Nationwide With Pickle McShaker Fries and Socks

The U.S. rollout follows strong results in Canada and Australia, positioning the pickle‑seasoned McShaker Fries as the attention grabber.

Overview

  • The bundle is available starting Dec. 2 at participating U.S. restaurants for a limited time while supplies last, with ordering in-store or via the McDonald’s app and third‑party delivery apps.
  • The meal includes a Big Mac or 10‑piece Chicken McNuggets, Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries, a medium drink, and one pair of Grinch‑themed socks in red, blue, yellow, or green.
  • The fries reintroduce the McShaker bag in the U.S., letting customers add a dill pickle seasoning packet to fries and shake to coat.
  • McDonald’s partnered with Dr. Seuss Enterprises on the promotion, and U.S. marketing chief Alyssa Buetikofer called the expansion a “no‑brainer” after last year’s international run.
  • Early reactions online highlight praise for the packaging and socks, with split views on the strong dill‑pickle seasoning reported by some reviewers.
