New meals, cheeky collectibles and a menu mash-up – The Grinch is crashing Macca’s and causing delicious chaos

He’s green, he’s grouchy, and this festive season, he’s hijacking Macca’s! That’s right, The Grinch has landed Down Under, and in true Grinch fashion, he’s turning holiday cheer into holiday chaos… and somehow – to his dismay – making it even better. 

Starting Wednesday 19 November, Macca’s is getting a Grinchy makeover. Expect twisted-up meals, exclusive collectibles and toys, and a side combo that’s so wrong it’s right. It’s festive mischief at its tastiest.

The Grinch Meal (deliciously disruptive)

The Grinch has taken your go-to Macca’s items and intentionally added a chaotic twist, turning the Meal into a playful surprise.

Choose from a Big Mac, the returning fan-fave Chicken Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, paired with Fries and your choice of drink - perhaps a Frozen Fanta Lemon ruined with Green Apple Popping Pearls that POP and turn everything green. All obnoxiously wrapped in limited-edition Grinch packaging that’s as loud and bold as he is.

And because he can’t help himself, each meal comes with one of four exclusive Sand Globes – festive keepsakes of The Grinch’s summer sabotage. Hamburglar’s burger? Gone. Birdie’s bow? Missing. Grimace’s Shake? Vanished. The Grinch? Smug with his stolen treasures.

The Grinch Happy Meal (trouble comes in small sizes)

Little Grinches can get in on the fun with The Grinch Happy Meal. Choose from a Cheeseburger, Hamburger, Crispy Chicken Snack Wrap, or 6-piece Chicken McNuggets, plus Small Fries or Apple Slices, and a Small Drink - all wrapped in extra green, Grinch-approved packaging.

Each Happy Meal includes one of 12 collectible Grinch toys – from Max Star to Grinch Snowball – perfect for kids (and grown-ups) who like their Christmas tree ornaments with a side of mischief.

Sneaky Side Combo 

The Grinch isn’t done wreaking havoc – he's gone full-on troublemaker with a side combo no one saw coming: Chicken McWings drizzled with Hotcake Syrup. Savoury meets sweet in a bold, unhinged pairing... and somehow, it’s surprisingly delicious. Has The Grinch accidentally stolen the show with his mischievous creation?

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia ​​​​says: “This summer, Macca’s is flipping the festive script. The Grinch might’ve rocked up to steal our sunshine and joy, but plot twist: he’s only made things even more epic.

“With new limited-time menu drops, cheeky collectibles, and a whole lot of holiday havoc, it’s the kind of chaos we’re absolutely here for.”

The Grinch Meal and The Grinch Happy Meal are available at your local Macca’s from Wednesday 19 November, while stocks last - via front counter, drive-thru, kiosk and the MyMacca’s app.

Because let’s face it – this summer, mischief has never tasted this good... or this green.
