San Antonio, You May Not Catch 'Em All: McDonald's Pokémon and Grinch Happy Meals May Skip the US
Howdy, San Antonio! If you’re a fan of McDonald’s Happy Meals and love Pokémon or the Grinch, you might want to sit down for this one. McDonald’s has launched some exciting new Happy Meals internationally, but there’s a catch—they might not make it to the US. Let’s dive into what’s happening and why you might need to plan a trip abroad to catch 'em all!
The Grinch Happy Meal: McDonald’s Canada is spreading holiday cheer with a Grinch-themed Happy Meal. This festive meal includes a choice of a Big Mac, 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, or a McChicken sandwich, paired with the new Dill Pickle McShaker Fries and a medium drink. But that’s not all! You’ll also get a pair of exclusive mismatched Grinch socks. The meal is a collaboration between McDonald’s Canada and Dr. Seuss Enterprises, making it a must-have for Grinch fans.
Pokémon Happy Meal in France: Meanwhile, across the pond in France, McDonald’s has teamed up with Pokémon to celebrate the Year of the Dragon. The Happy Meals come with Pokémon card booster packs featuring 15 collectible cards, including fan favorites like Charizard, Pikachu, and Dragonite. Whether you’re a long-time Pokémon trainer or new to the game, these cards are sure to be a hit.
Why the US Might Miss Out: So, why aren’t these exciting Happy Meals available in the US? It’s all about market strategy and regional promotions. McDonald’s often tailors its offerings to different markets based on local preferences and partnerships. While it’s disappointing for US fans, there’s always hope that these promotions might make their way stateside in the future.
While US fans might not get to enjoy these special Happy Meals just yet, it’s exciting to see McDonald’s bringing such creative and fun promotions to their international markets. If you’re traveling abroad, be sure to check out these limited-time offerings. And who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll see them in the US too. Until then, keep your eyes peeled and your taste buds ready for whatever McDonald’s has in store next!
