What’s in The Grinch Meal?

A Mischievous Holiday Surprise
The Grinch isn’t just bringing chaos to the menu—he’s also sneaking a surprise into every meal. Each Grinch Meal comes with a pair of spirited socks scribbled with messages straight from the Grinch himself. Available in four different “unhinged” colors, these quirky socks can double as an impromptu stocking, perfect for adding a touch of Mt. Crumpit’s finest décor to your home.
