TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2025 /CNW/ -

Who's of Canadaville, do be warned.
The Grinch is back at McDonald's, and he's feeling quite scorned.
He's tired of the holidays, he's tired of the cheer.
So he'll make sure no fun is had this year.
He's built a worse box, and even more odd socks.
Replaced all the fries with a Who-Hash surprise.
So if you want to see the Grinch's big reveal…
You can head to McDonald's for the Grinchiest Meal.

The Grinch is back with The Grinchiest Meal ever!

After selling-out last December, McDonald's Canada and Dr. Seuss Enterprises are back to offer Canadians the Grinchiest Meal ever available from December 2nd for a limited time while supplies last.

Much to his mischievous delight, The Grinchiest Meal features a choice of a Big Mac®, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets®, McChicken® sandwich, Spicy Habanero McChicken® sandwich, McVeggie™ sandwich or Spicy McVeggie™ sandwich, paired with a medium Fountain Drink, Who-Hash Bites and a pair of new mismatched socks - perfect for making others green with envy. 

Created for potato lovers, the new Who-Hash Bites are golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside and deep-fried into bite-sized perfection.
