McDonald’s has officially brought the festive fun this season with the launch of its brand-new Grinch-themed menu, and after trying a selection of the treats, we can safely say… this is one of the most joyful Christmas menus they’ve ever served.

From playful packaging to indulgent flavours, McDonald’s has nailed the balance between nostalgia, novelty and pure festive indulgence — and our whole family absolutely loved it.

The Grinch Meal Deal – Mischief Never Tasted So Good

We tucked into The Grinch Meal Deal with a Big Mac® and 9 Chicken McNuggets®, and it instantly felt like Christmas on a tray. Alongside your choice of Big Mac®, McNuggets® or McPlant®, the meal comes with Grinched McShaker® Fries, a drink, and a pair of limited-edition mismatched Grinch socks — yes, really — and they’re as fun as they are cosy.

The packaging alone is a delight, bursting with bright green festive mischief that makes opening your meal feel like unwrapping a Christmas gift.

Grinch Shaker Fries – A Festive Revelation

The Grinch Fries were an instant favourite in our house. McDonald’s has taken their classic fries and added a gherkin-flavoured seasoning, creating a tangy, savoury twist that is unexpectedly addictive. If you love pickles, these are nothing short of a revelation — we absolutely loved them.

Just shake, sprinkle and enjoy — they’re playful, delicious and totally different from anything else on the menu.

Coconut Hot Chocolate – Move Over Coffee Chains

Forget Starbucks, Costa or Nero — McDonald’s Coconut Hot Chocolate is officially our festive drink of the year. Creamy, rich and perfectly balanced with coconut flavour, it’s topped with a festive shimmer that makes every sip feel special.

It’s indulgent without being overpowering, and genuinely one of the best seasonal drinks we’ve tried anywhere this winter.

The Grumble Pie – Pure Festive Comfort

If you’re looking for something sweet, warm and comforting, the Grumble Pie delivers. Filled with apple, cranberry and custard, wrapped in a crispy green pastry, it’s the perfect Christmas dessert — fruity, creamy and wonderfully nostalgic. It’s the kind of treat you instantly want to order again.

Festive Fun for the Whole Family

From the mischievous Grinch branding to the cosy socks and colourful drinks, McDonald’s has created a menu that doesn’t just taste great — it feels festive. Every detail has been designed to bring a smile, and it really works.

With exciting new items like the Mischief McFlurry®, Frozen Grinch Lemonade, Coconut Latte, and Cheesy Chicken Stack, alongside returning favourites like the Big Tasty® and Cheese Melt Dippers, this is a menu that offers something for everyone.

If you're looking for something different to the McNuggets or Big Mac, the McDonald’s Cheesy Chicken Stack is a limited-time burger on the UK menu, created especially for those who love the irresistible combination of crunch, melted cheese and bold flavour. This indulgent stack features a 100% chicken breast fillet in a golden, crispy coating, topped with a gooey fried cheese patty, fresh lettuce, smoky Chipotle salsa and a slice of creamy cheddar. With 713 calories per serving, it’s a satisfying choice for lunch or dinner — and an absolute must-try for cheese lovers.

We found the burger to be fresh, filling, juicy and bursting with flavour! Or of course, you can go for a classic like the Filet-o-Fish or the Quarter Pounder, which both pack a flavour punch!

A stunning menu for the whole family

McDonald’s has absolutely nailed Christmas this year. The flavours are bold, the ideas are playful, and the festive spirit runs through every single item.

If you’re looking for a fun, tasty and affordable way to celebrate the season, The Grinch Menu is a must-try — just don’t wait too long, because it’s only here for six weeks.
