Made in partnership with Dr Seuss Enterprises, McDonald's The Grinch Meal will feature the diabolical culinary choices of the '90s iconic Christmas thief.

McDonald's said that the menu features Dill Pickle “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries, arriving in the US for the first time.

The Grinch will reportedly sneak a piece of mischief into every meal with a pair of spirited socks, scribbled with messages.

This “side of chaos” from the Grinch himself will let everyone know exactly how he feels this holiday season. The socks come in four unhinged colours and can even be used as an impromptu stocking, just like Mt Crumpit’s finest.
