McDonald’s is rolling out a new collaboration with Dr. Seuss as The Grinch takes over the menu for a limited time.
The Grinch Meal arrives nationwide on December 2, 2025, and includes the first U.S. release of Dill Pickle Grinch Salt McShaker Fries, available while supplies last.
The seasonal launch adds a holiday twist to McDonald’s Fries by letting customers shake tangy dill pickle seasoning in a McShaker bag. The meal can be ordered with either a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, along with a medium drink.
McDonald’s and Dr. Seuss Enterprises confirmed the promotion on November 20. A pair of Grinch-themed socks will be included inside the meal, each printed with messages from The Grinch and released in four color options.

The meal centers on the new Dill Pickle Grinch Salt McShaker Fries. The seasoning packet lets customers coat their fries in a pickle-forward blend that mirrors the character’s green theme.
