McDonald’s Rolls Out Limited-Time Grinch Meal With Dill Pickle McShaker Fries

The tie-in reintroduces McShaker fries to U.S. menus after a 2024 Canada run.

Overview

  • The meal is available at participating U.S. restaurants nationwide starting Dec. 2 for a limited time while supplies last, with pricing that varies by location and ordering offered in-store, in the app and via delivery.
  • Each order 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 come with a dill pickle seasoning packet and a McShaker bag so customers can toss to taste, marking the first national U.S. availability of McShaker-style fries in recent years.
  • McDonald’s created the promotion with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, framing the U.S. launch as a follow-on to the meal’s success in Canada in 2024.
  • Early reactions from media tastings and social media are highly visible and mixed, with some praising the dill-heavy flavor as “100/10” and others calling the seasoning too intense or a one-time try.
