Who created the Grinch?
The Grinch was created by cartoonist Dr. Seuss in 1957.
He is one of the most iconic characters of Christmas. Although he starts as a grump who hates the holidays, his ultimate transformation teaches us the true meaning of this season: unity, love, and generosity. Seeing him as part of McDonald’s Happy Meal is a perfect fit that connects with the magic of the season.
What else does McDonald’s offer for the holiday season?
In addition to the Grinch Happy Meal, McDonald’s has launched a special holiday menu in the UK that includes:
