An activity often associated with holiday gatherings involves consuming alcoholic beverages while watching the animated or live-action adaptations of the Dr. Seuss story, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”. Specific actions or events that occur within the film trigger a pre-determined action, typically the taking of a drink. For example, participants might drink whenever the Grinch smiles, a Who sings, or Max displays a certain behavior.
The appeal of such activities lies in their ability to enhance the viewing experience, fostering a sense of communal participation and lighthearted competition. The practice provides a structured framework for social interaction and can contribute to a more memorable and entertaining holiday celebration. The trend has emerged organically, spreading through social media and word-of-mouth, becoming a staple for some during the holiday season.
