McDonald’s releases Grinch Happy Meal – and US fans can’t wait to get hands on cute plushies
Fast foodies are furious about a crucial element in McDonald’s much-anticipated Grinch Happy Meal launch.
Fans in the US had to wait to obtain the themed boxes and cuddly toys because the chain only introduced the Festive Kids lunches in the UK.
The McDonald’s Grinch Happy Meal will be available in the UK until December 31 or until stocks run out. It was introduced on November 20.
The holiday meal includes “one of eight Grinch and friends toys, featuring adorable plush Christmas decorations and Grinch family card games or the exclusive Twelve Days of Grinchmas tale,” according to a press statement.
However, since the Grinch Happy Meals’ US release date has not been established, American McDonald’s fans are feeling a little left out.
Given that prior international McDonald’s promotions have made their way to the US, the themed Happy Meal might also make its way there.

For instance, the Chicken Big Mac arrived in the US this October after first appearing in the UK and Ireland in 2022.
Additionally, the McPlant burger was first introduced in European markets before making its way to a few US McDonald’s.
GRINCH GLOOM
US Grinch fans have taken to various social media networks to vent their disappointment.
According to onefastfoodieonX, “I wish the US could get the Grinch Happy Meals :(“
“I’d like to clarify this. You award the Grinch cups to Canada. “You give the Grinch Happy Meals to the UK,” started a Facebook admirer.
“How about the United States? McDonald’s, how could you? How could you have such a betrayal of this country? They urged others to boycott the fast food chain, writing, “This is the story of How McDonald’s Stole Grinchmas, like legit.”

The user was irritated that the plush was only accessible to UK customers, although they emphasized that they were joking.
“A Happy Meal toy doesn’t really appeal to me. (I really am, but..lol),” they uttered.
Similar wishes were made by McDonald’s followers on Instagram for the stuffed animals to arrive in America.
“That little plush toy is extremely lovely. The children are thrilled with this! I hope it makes it to the United States as well.
NEW TOY IN TOWN
The Grinch Happy Meals aren’t currently available to McDonald’s customers in the United States, but there will be another holiday kids’ meal soon.
To introduce a Holiday Pet Simulator Happy Meal, the fast food business partnered with Pet Simulator, one of the most played Roblox games.
Two Pet Simulator toys, one of which is gift-wrapped, are included with the meal.
Happy Meal History
The circus was the first McDonald’s Happy Meal theme to be introduced in the United States in 1979.
The toys featured puzzles, wallets, erasers, and stencils, and the kid’s meal boxes were fashioned to resemble circus wagons.
Numerous McDonald’s kid-friendly meals have been themed since the launch of the Happy Meal with a circus theme.
The chain has created themed kid’s meals with particular toys, packaging, and even special menu items by partnering with well-known films, TV series, and characters over the years.
McDonald’s hopes that by giving one of the toys to a friend, relative, or neighbor, children would spread holiday cheer.
During this season of giving, we hope that this special Happy Meal encourages children to share. McDonald’s marketing vice president Jennifer Healan stated, “We’re giving our youngest fans the opportunity to do that with their Happy Meal as well. Sharing is such a big part of the McDonald’s ethos, whether it’s sharing your fries, your McNuggets, or a McFlurry.”
Holiday-themed sticker sheets and two of the eighteen Pet Simulator toys are included with the children’s meals.
From November 26 to December 16, participating US McDonald’s will provide Happy Meals.

Fans are still hankering after the Chicken Legend, even though a contentious sandwich will also be returning to McDonald’s in a few days.
Additionally, customers spotted a significant problem when the fast food business debuted new limited-edition Christmas mugs, following Starbucks’ lead.
