McDonald's is set to spread some festive mischief across the UK with the launch of a brand new, Grinch-themed menu starting next week. The fast-food giant has confirmed that the collection will be available in restaurants nationwide from Wednesday, November 26, 2025, offering a quirky twist on Christmas dining.
The Grinch Meal and Savoury Highlights
At the heart of the launch is The Grinch Meal, which gives customers a choice of a Big Mac, nine Chicken McNuggets, or a McPlant option. Each meal is served with a drink and the headline-grabbing Grinched McShaker Fries. This innovative side involves tipping a gherkin-flavoured seasoning into the paper bag with your classic fries and giving them a vigorous shake for a tangy, pickle-infused treat.
For those not feeling the Grinch's influence, the Cheesy Chicken Stack also makes a return. This sandwich features a crispy chicken breast fillet layered with a mega cheese melt, a cheese slice, lettuce, and a warming Chipotle Salsa. A major returning favourite is the Big Tasty, which this year has a twist: it will be available for the first time ever in a Double Big Tasty size, with or without bacon.
Festive Drinks and Sweet Treats
To wash down the savoury items, McDonald's is introducing several new beverages. The Frozen Grinch Lemonade blends zesty frozen lemonade with a vivid Grinch-green melon swirl. Coffee lovers can enjoy a Coconut Latte, made with coffee, coconut syrup, cream, and 'twinkles', while a Coconut Hot Chocolate provides a warm, tropical alternative.
The festive indulgence continues with two new McFlurry desserts. The Mischief McFlurry combines soft dairy ice cream with festive Smarties, Christmas tree chocolates, and a fruity strawberry sauce. The Chocolate Brownie McFlurry is packed with brownie cookie pieces and a rich drizzle of chocolate sauce. Completing the sweet offerings is the Grumble Pie, a crispy green pastry filled with apple, cranberry, and custard.
Pricing and Returning Favourites
Alongside the new items, popular classics are making a comeback. Cheese Melt Dippers return, served with a rich tomato dip and available individually or in a Sharebox. The full pricing for the new menu items has been confirmed, with The Grinch Meals priced at £9.09 each. A Single Big Tasty Meal costs £7.99, while the new Double Big Tasty Meal is £9.49.
This extensive menu overhaul demonstrates McDonald's commitment to capturing the festive spirit, offering both novelty and nostalgia for its customers throughout the Christmas season.
