For many, Christmas is a time for sharing. It's a time for good food and friends. It's a time to snuggle up with the family by the fire to open some shiny new presents from Santa Claus. It's a time to celebrate all of the good things in life! Of course, not everyone has that same feeling. There are a few stingy souls out there who look at their calendars in despair each year. They grimace when they see December 25th fast approaching. These scowling characters pop up each and every year. You've got your Ebenezer Scrooge. You've got your Krampus. You've got your Belsnickel. But the most famous Christmas-time grump has to be the Dr. Seuss creation, The Grinch.

The Grinch first made his appearance in the book back in 1957. The colorful book depicted a tale of a real mean and green fellow who just could not stand all of the joy happening at Christmas. That's when he got a bright idea. Dressing up as Santa, he could sneak his way through every house in the town and steal all of the Christmas cheer. All of the presents, all of the Christmas decorations, and all of the holiday snacks would be gone by the time each and every citizen woke up from their Christmas Eve slumber. He finally has a change of heart after a child from the village helps him see the true meaning of Christmas!

Some people love the classic tale because it shows that even those with a cold heart can change their ways. Others like it because they can relate to the Grinch's bah-humbug attitude regarding the holiday season. Us? Well, we like both of those things, but we also happen to like the fantastic visual style of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It provides a wonderful costume opportunity. We carry a ton of great Grinch costumes, and they're the perfect way to bring the Dr. Seuss classic to life in your home.

Let's start with adults. In our experience, it's rare to find a kid that's a true Grinch, because children get to bask in the magic of gifts, Santa Claus, and a pretty healthy chunk of time away from school. Adults, on the other hand? Well, we know quite a few adult Grinch-types. After all, life tends to take some twists and turns. Then combine that with the fact that the holidays can be a significant amount of work for some adults. That can make some people feel a bit bitter about the holidays, so it's not really surprising that adults end up walking down the path of mean and green. The good news is that even the stingiest of souls can grow their hearts a few sizes. The meanest and greenest of them all was able to change his ways, so perhaps all you have to do is follow in his footsteps to have a Christmas reformation! If you're feeling a bit Grinchy, then you might want to try one of our adult-size costumes. When you wear one of our Grinch Costumes for adults, you might just find yourself having a change of heart… or perhaps you'll keep feeling a bit Grinch-like, but you'll at least have the costume to match your stingy ways!

Most children love Christmas. If they've been good, then they can count on a massive stash of toys made by Santa's elves awaiting them on Christmas morning. Kids who haven't been so good…well, they might start feeling a little bit like a Grinch! If your child just isn't feeling the Christmas vibes, then they might fit perfectly into the role! Just check out some of our favorite choices below, so you can find a look that's as mean and green as the original Dr. Seuss character.

The Grinch might be the main character, but he might never have become the lovable character we know now without a certain little girl. Although the Grinch has remained mostly the same throughout the years, Cindy Lou Who has received a handful of different outfits and redesigns. In the original Dr. Seuss version, she's just a two-year-old girl in a pink dress who stumbles upon the Grinch in the middle of the night as she's getting a glass of water. The 1966 animated television special faithfully recreated her as a cartoon. The year 2000 brought us a live-action take on the character, and then again in 2018, we got to see her brought back to her roots in CGI. She always represents the pure-hearted nature of Christmas. So if you're looking to dress up like her this holiday season, then we have a Cindy Lou Who costume for you! We have plenty of different options that will help you jumpstart your holiday outfit.

We know that not everyone wants to be clad in Grinchly gear from head to toe. Sometimes just a few accessories or a simple costume t-shirt is enough to get the job done. When you're transforming into the Grinch, perhaps all you need is the scowling green face or some slender green fingers of the Seussical spectacle. Well, it just happens that we have all of the Grinch-style accessories that you could need for building an easy costume from scratch. Here are a few of our favorite options below.
