The announcement of McDonald’s UK’s festive Grinch-themed Happy Meals has left North American fans of Dr. Seuss’s beloved character feeling rather Grinch-like themselves. The promotion, which includes an array of creative Grinch merchandise and interactive activities, has sparked a wave of social media posts from disappointed fans across the United States and Canada who won’t get to experience the Whoville magic at their local McDonald’s restaurants.
The exclusive UK and Ireland promotion features charming collectibles and engaging activities that capture the essence of the classic holiday tale. Parents and children in North America have taken to social media platforms to express their disappointment, with many questioning why such a universally beloved character wouldn’t be featured in a global promotion. Some dedicated fans have even started online petitions requesting McDonald’s to bring the green grump across the Atlantic, though the fast-food giant has remained silent on the possibility of expanding the promotion to other regions.
