when is the grinch meal available at mcdonald's

McDonald’s “Grinch Meal” is a limited-time holiday promo that becomes available at participating U.S. locations starting Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

Quick Scoop

• The Grinch Meal is a special holiday bundle built around classic McDonald’s items plus themed extras like dill-pickle–seasoned “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries and Grinch socks.

• In the U.S., it rolls out nationwide on December 2, 2025, and is advertised as “for a limited time,” meaning availability depends on location and how long supplies last.

• Earlier versions of the Grinch Meal appeared in countries like Canada, Ireland, Australia, and the U.K. before this wider U.S. launch.

If you are checking closer to or after that date, the most reliable way to see if the Grinch meal is currently available near you is to:

1. Open the McDonald’s app or website and look at the “Deals” or “Featured” section for The Grinch Meal promotion.
2. Check your local restaurant’s listing, since not every location always participates in every limited-time offer.
