The Grinch Olympic Figure Skating Commercial (2018)

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas figure skating commercial for the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

I loved this commercial when I first saw it in 2018 featuring as it does the individual who is arguably the world's most famous Christmas character, The Grinch.

This version of the classic Grinch story is from the film that featured Illumination's computer-animation and the voice of Benedict Cumberbatch. This commercial was creative enough to add in figure skating and the PyeongChang Olympics. In this short T.V. spot, we find The Grinch playing, of course, the starring role and imagining what it would be like to win a gold medal on the ice.

Who did win gold in the 2018 Olympics? The Men's gold medal went home with Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu, the Ladies' Singles medal went home with Russia's Alina Zagitova, the Pair Skating medal went home with Germany's Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot, the Ice Dance medal went home with Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and finally, the Team medal went home with Canada's team.

See the T.V. spot for yourself here. It's short, cute and will make you smile.


The commercial is not clear how The Grinch placed but he certainly was and is a crowd favorite. He is proof that Everyone Can Dream!

Merry Christmas!

I usually have a few retired Grinch items and new, used and vintage skating-themed items.

I loved them all and would definitely have trouble picking a single mug from this collection. How about you?

A great collector set, this version of the animated movie came bundled with a snow globe.
