On social media, users have shared photos of their favorite toys and praised the initiative. One of the most popular comments reads: “So jealous! I hope this Happy Meal comes to our country soon.”.

Who created the Grinch?

The Grinch was created by cartoonist Dr. Seuss in 1957.
He is one of the most iconic characters of Christmas. Although he starts as a grump who hates the holidays, his ultimate transformation teaches us the true meaning of this season: unity, love, and generosity. Seeing him as part of McDonald’s Happy Meal is a perfect fit that connects with the magic of the season.

What else does McDonald’s offer for the holiday season?

In addition to the Grinch Happy Meal, McDonald’s has launched a special holiday menu in the UK that includes:

• Galaxy Caramel Latte and Galaxy Caramel Hot Chocolate: Warm and sweet drinks perfect for cold days.
• Cheese Melt Dippers with Rich Tomato Dip: Breaded Camembert cheese bites served with a tomato dip.
• Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry and Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie: Desserts that combine ice cream and orange chocolate, ideal for festive flavor lovers.

Meanwhile, in the United States, diners can also enjoy novelties like the return of the McRib, the introduction of the Dulce de Leche Frappé, and the availability of the classic Holiday Pie.

In the United States, McDonald’s is also standing out with unique holiday initiatives, such as the collaboration with Pet Simulator, a popular Roblox video game series.
