Additional partners across categories such as kids’ daywear, accessories, gifting, decorations, food gifting, plush, seasonal confectionery, boxed cards, activity packs, games and puzzles, stationery, tech accessories and more, will also be revealed later this year.
“This is a fun, classic brand with perennial Christmas appeal, proven success at retail and strong demand from the U.K. public,” says Rob Wijeratna, joint managing director, Rocket Licensing. “We’re therefore really looking forward to the Grinch’s sixtieth anniversary later this year, which will drive this success to even greater heights.”
