2000 Reese’s Bites - The Grinch and Cindy Lou Who

 

How the Grinch Stole Christmas x Hershey Kisses (Christmas 2002)

 

How the Grinch Stole Christmas x Hershey’s Kisses (Christmas 2002) was a festive licensed holiday promotion that paired Hershey’s iconic bite-sized chocolates with the mischievous charm of Dr. Seuss’s Grinch, capitalizing on the character’s enduring popularity following the 2000 live-action film. Released for the 2002 Christmas season, the product featured classic milk chocolate Hershey’s Kisses wrapped in themed foils showcasing the Grinch and other Whoville imagery, often in bright green and red holiday colors. These seasonal Kisses were marketed as stocking stuffers, candy bowl fillers, and baking decorations, blending Hershey’s long-standing holiday traditions with playful pop-culture storytelling. The collaboration remains a nostalgic example of early-2000s holiday branding, remembered by collectors and fans for its cheerful packaging and its role in bringing a beloved Christmas character into everyday seasonal treats.

Max - How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Universal Studios 2000)

 

Max the dog from How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the Grinch’s loyal and gentle companion, best known for his patience and good-natured personality despite his owner’s grumpy schemes. Often portrayed as a small, brown, scruffy dog with expressive eyes, Max serves as both helper and moral contrast to the Grinch—obediently pulling the makeshift sleigh, wearing antlers, and enduring holiday mischief with resilience. Across book, animated specials, and live-action films, Max is depicted as sympathetic and affectionate, subtly encouraging the Grinch’s journey toward kindness and ultimately sharing in the joy when his heart finally grows three sizes.
