Summary
AGrand Theft Auto Onlineplayer recently shared an encounter where they were mugged by a certain Christmas-themed character, only for the perpetrator to be served quick justice by an NPC. The world ofGTA Onlineis celebrating the festive season, but one unsavory character is out to spoil the holiday spirit by randomly targeting players' pockets.
GTA Onlinehas been going strong for over a decade, and at the end of every year, Rockstar Games celebrates the holiday season with numerous additions to the multiplayer sandbox.Snow is a mainstay ofGTA Online’s year-end festivities, as well as holiday-themed clothing, liveries, collectibles, game modes, etc. In keeping with theGrand Theft Autoseries' satirical nature, Rockstar also came up with a character inspired by none other than The Grinch and started including it inGTA Online’s holiday updates from 2022.
Theinappropriately-named Grinch parody inGTA Onlinepops up as a random event where it emerges from a cloud of green smoke, runs up to an unsuspecting player, and robs some cash and snacks from their inventory. A newvideo posted to theGTA Onlinesubredditby user PenguinT22 shows that they were a recent target of the game’s notorious Grinch-inspired character. The encounter begins with the Grinch parody running up to the player’s car inGTA Online, pulling them out, and escaping with $10,000 and some snacks.

However, the troublemaker’s victory was short-lived, as it was hilariously mowed down (and presumably killed) by an NPC’s car seconds after running away from PenguinT22.GTA Online’s rather dated NPC AIcan often be frustrating to deal with, but every once in a while, the stars align to conjure up incredibly amusing moments like such in the game. Thanks to the NPC’s serendipitous accident, PenguinT22 likely got their stolen money and snacks back, as well as the Grinch parody’s outfit, which can only be obtained after killing it.
With the holidays in full swing, theGTA Onlinecommunity is quite lively right now. WithGTA 6aiming for a fall 2025 launch, though, some have pointed out that this may very well be the last time they celebrate the festive season inGTA Online. Hopefully, Rockstar will keep its tradition of holiday updates intact forGTA 6’s online mode. A new rendition of the Grinch parody character showing up in Leonida to robGTA 6’s online players sounds like a hilarious prospect.
