"The Grinch Meals" refers to a limited-time promotional food offering from McDonald's inspired by the character from Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The Grinch is a well-known fictional character, famously portrayed by Jim Carrey in a 2000 live-action film, who is a grouchy, solitary figure attempting to ruin the Christmas celebrations of the cheerful Whoville residents.
This marketing collaboration is notable because it leverages a beloved and instantly recognizable holiday character to create themed menu items. Such partnerships between major fast-food chains and popular media franchises are a common promotional strategy, particularly during major holiday seasons like Christmas, to drive customer engagement and sales.
The term has recently been in the news due to McDonald's announcing the launch of these Grinch-themed meals. Various news outlets have reported on the upcoming availability of the special menu, generating public interest and anticipation for the promotional campaign.
