Beginning this week, customers who order Happy Meals at participating locations will score a collectible sure to make the hearts of those who hold it grow three sizes that day.

Each Happy Meal comes with "one of eight Grinch and friends toys, featuring adorable plush Christmas decorations and Grinch family card games or the exclusive ‘Twelve Days of Grinchmas’ tale," according to an official press release. The limited-edition "Grinchmas" collab is available starting on Wednesday, Nov. 20 and is set to run through the end of the year (or as long as supplies last).

As popular food blogger known online as Snackbetch wrote, although it's an international exclusive right now, "a lot of times it comes to the US as well (like other past collaborations). So fingers crossed!"

Several Instagram users shared similar statements, with one hopeful fan commenting, "That’s a really nice lil plush. This is exciting for the kiddos! Hopefully it will come to the US too! 💚❤️."

"The US never gets anything it’s always the UK that gets everything good!! 😭," a second groaned.

"Dang we need this!" another declared.

"Please @mcdonalds USA," someone else begged, "DON'T fail us!!!"

It's not just fans in the U.S. hoping for a wider release, as one more fan joked: "Cries in croatia😭."

Along with the limited-edition Happy Meal, participating Mickey D's locations over the pond will be serving up some fan-favorite holiday menu options worthy of a worldwide release. For starters, this season's sips include the Galaxy® Caramel Latte and Galaxy® Caramel Hot Chocolate, both are described as smooth and sweet.

As for eats, the burger joint is serving Cheese Melt Dippers with Rich Tomato Dip, which it said are "breaded cheese dippers... made with indulgent Camembert and served with a rich tomato dip," as well as several sweet treats.

Terry’s Chocolate Orange McFlurry, a soft-serve dessert "swirled with Terry’s Chocolate Orange mini segments and topped with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange sauce," is one of the offerings, along with a matching pastry–Terry’s Chocolate Orange Pie–said to feature "crispy chocolate pastry filled with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange flavoured chocolate ganache."

Oh, the McRib was also brought back.

That said, fans in the U.S. were also given some offers worth celebrating, despite what they may suggest online. The beloved Holiday Pie has officially returned, and both the Chicken Big Mac and Spicy Chicken McNuggets are now available in select markets. The Golden Arches also recently debuted an all-new Dulce de Leche Frappé at participating locations nationwide.
