McDonald's is giving away early holiday gifts.

Starting Monday and through Dec. 24, the fast-food chain is featuring iconic holiday characters' favorite menu items and will give them away for free with a $1 minimum purchase. The McDonald's mobile app is needed to get the 11 days of daily deals.

Characters include Frosty the Snowman, whose favorite item is a McFlurry; Buddy the Elf, who prefers syrupy Hotcakes; The Grinch with an Egg McMuffin and Seinfeld's Frank Costanza with a Festivus freebie on Dec. 23.

The daily app deals end on Christmas Eve with free chocolate chip cookies in honor of Santa Claus. The company says this day's deal is the only that doesn't require a $1 purchase.

"What better way to celebrate and get into the holiday spirit than with free McDonald's menu favorites for everyone including Rudolph, the Abominable Snow Monster and yes, even Scrooge," McDonald's U.S. Chief Marketing Officer Morgan Flatley said in a news release.

The characters' favorite menu items follow special collaborations with musicians Travis Scott and J Balvin, who had their favorite meals available at restaurants for a limited time.

"These beloved holiday characters are the latest icons to have their favorite menu items featured at participating restaurants nationwide," McDonald's said in the release, adding daily in-app deals will celebrate the go-to orders of characters from classic holiday movies like Christmas Vacation, Gremlins as well as Die Hard, which it emphasizes "is a holiday movie."

Earlier this month, McDonald's brought back the McRib, its iconic barbecue sandwich with a cult-like following.
