McDonald’s to Release Grinch Meal in Minnesota with Dill Pickle Fry Seasoning

McDonald’s Launches Grinch Meal in Minnesota

McDonald’s is introducing a special Grinch Meal exclusively for customers in Minnesota this December. This festive offering includes a standard menu item, uniquely seasoned fries, and a small gift inspired by the beloved Dr. Seuss character.

A Nostalgic Tradition, Reimagined

Happy Meals have been a staple on McDonald’s menus for generations, becoming a global sensation long before many of us were born. Many grew up enjoying these meals, often choosing between a classic cheeseburger or crispy chicken nuggets, but the real excitement was always the toy tucked inside.

The Grinch Meal: For Adults This Time

This new promotion isn’t a traditional Happy Meal. Instead, McDonald’s, a major fast-food chain in Minnesota, is collaborating with Dr. Seuss to create holiday-themed meals geared towards adults, complete with a fun surprise.

Participating McDonald's locations will begin offering The Grinch Meal on December 2nd. Despite the Grinch’s notorious grumpiness, he remains a popular figure, evidenced by his top ranking in a YouGov survey of favorite Christmas movies. In fact, the survey revealed that “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is a beloved holiday classic.

What’s Included?

The Grinch Meal allows customers to choose between a Big Mac or a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, accompanied by a medium drink and fries. However, the real highlight is the fries, which come with a special seasoning.

Dill Pickle Fries: A Unique Flavor

According to Allrecipes, the fries are seasoned with dill pickle flavoring. Each Grinch Meal includes a “McShaker” bag filled with this tangy and unique seasoning, offering a new and interesting flavor experience.

Author's Summary: McDonald’s is tapping into holiday cheer with a limited-edition Grinch Meal in Minnesota, offering a fun, adult-focused twist on a childhood classic through a festive flavor and collectible gift.
