Christmas is around the corner and our social media feeds are filled with festive-themed culinary creations. In these videos, we usually observe positive figures like Santa Claus, elves, reindeer and angels being represented. But that's not all. There's a grumpy yet beloved character who is also remembered around the Christmas season: the Grinch. For the uninitiated, Grinch is a fictional character created by the famous author Dr. Seuss. He is recognised as a festive spoilsport - someone who is against the idea of Christmas and the positive emotions associated with it. Recently, a viral video showing a man making a "Grinch pancake" for his kids has taken the internet by storm. In a rather ironic twist (given the subject of the creation), it has won a lot of hearts online and spread good cheer on Instagram.

In the Instagram reel by @thedadsocial, we see a man laying strips of bacon along one side of a heated pan outside his house. He then takes a nozzle bottle and begins an outline of the Grinch's face and a Christmas tree. He fills the different parts of the sketch with coloured batter: green for the face, red and white for the Santa cap, yellow for the eyes and so on. As the pancake cooks, he also cracks two eggs on the expansive pan and begins to make the other dishes for the festive breakfast.
He flips over the Grinch and Christmas tree pancakes to allow them to cook on both sides. Later, he is seen plating them separately with what looks to be a side of oranges and berries. The text on the video reads, "POV: You're a dad and this is your best attempt at Grinch pancakes!" Watch the complete reel below:
