McDonald's has announced its highly anticipated Christmas 2025 menu, bringing a festive takeover inspired by the classic holiday character The Grinch to restaurants across the UK and Ireland.
The Grinch Takes Over McDonald's
The fast-food giant is launching a complete festive range on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, featuring several items directly inspired by Dr. Seuss's famous Christmas creation. The centrepiece is The Grinch Meal, which includes a main course choice between a Big Mac, nine Chicken McNuggets, or a McPlant, accompanied by a drink and the brand-new Grinched McShaker Fries.
These special fries feature a unique gherkin-flavoured seasoning, offering a tangy twist on the classic side. The meal also comes with a pair of limited edition Mismatched Grinch Socks, making it a complete festive experience. For drinks, customers can try the Frozen Grinch Lemonade, a vibrant green beverage with a melon swirl.
New Additions and Returning Favourites
Beyond The Grinch offerings, the menu expands with several exciting new creations. The Cheesy Chicken Stack presents a crispy chicken breast fillet layered with plenty of cheese, fresh lettuce, and a Chipotle Salsa sauce.
Dessert options receive a festive upgrade with two new McFlurry varieties. The Mischief McFlurry combines soft dairy ice cream with festive Smarties, Christmas tree sweets, and a strawberry sauce. For chocolate lovers, the Chocolate Brownie McFlurry offers a rich alternative. The beverage lineup is also enhanced with a Coconut Latte and a Coconut Hot Chocolate.
Completing the seasonal spread are several returning classics that have proven popular in previous years. Fans can welcome back The Big Tasty, the Double Big Tasty, and the comforting Cheese Melt Dippers.
Availability and Limited Time Offer
The entire McDonald's 2025 Festive Menu will be available in restaurants nationwide for a limited period. Customers have just six weeks to enjoy these special items, from the launch date on November 26. All Grinch-themed products feature special character packaging to enhance the holiday spirit.
