The grumbly green guy went from being in a few books and the classic animated Christmas special (where he was voiced by Boris Karloff) to a live-action film in 2000 (where he was played by Jim Carrey) before exploding into a full-length animated film (where he was now voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch), countless Christmas snacks and candy offerings with the Grinch’s face on them ... and even a Walmart commercial starring Walton Goggins as the Grinch. (*Shudders at that one.*) The Grinch based on the 1966 animated special is thankfully the Grinch who has joined forces with McDonald’s to bring the world **The Grinch Meal**. (I’m sorry, Walton Goggins, I love you in *Justified*, but the way your natural hair blends with the Grinch’s green fur in those Walmart commercials ... *shudders again*.)

I know I am.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/icon/circle-rebrand-51.png)The OmnicosmBill Kuchman![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/thumbnail/lede-poptarts.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/pop-tarts-frosted-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-make-their-long-awaited-return/) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/12/lede-120425-SNK-2.png) ###### Snackology • Thoughts for Food ### Celebrate National Cookie Day with EIGHT Pepperidge Farm holiday cookies I review a lot of cookies over here at **Snackology**. There’s a thrill in hunting down and trying an Oreo that tastes like Coca-Cola or S’mores. (I can’t say the same about the Oreo Thanksgiving Dinner Cookie Tin, though. At least I got to terrorize a bunch of my friends and their children with them over Thanksgiving.) But sometimes, you want a classier cookie. A more refined cookie. That’s where the **Pepperidge Farm Holiday Exclusive cookie collection** comes into play. Pepperidge Farm has released at least seven of their classic and seasonal cookies in “festive seasonal packaging,” making it easier for you (or, let’s not kid ourselves, me) to load up your shopping cart with a ridiculous number of bags of cookies.

She was a foundational member of the MCU (and I fully believe we’ll see her return at some point in *Avengers: Doomsday* and/or *Avengers: Secret Wars*). She was one of the leads in *Jurassic World Rebirth*. She voiced a main character in *Transformers One*. Disney reportedly wants her to play Mother Gothel in the upcoming live-action remake of *Tangled*. It makes sense that everyone wants to work with Johansson. Her movies have made more than $10 billion worldwide. Over the past few weeks, Johansson is on the verge of adding two more franchises to that lengthy list of credits: DC Studios’ *The Batman* series and **Mike Flanagan**’s *Exorcist* reboot.

With **Sean Spicer** (kind of?) back in the news, will we see McCarthy’s version of the former White House press secretary face off against **Ashley Padilla**’s version of the current White House press secretary?
