You can make your Ring doorbell sound like The Grinch for the holidays

Taunt everyone who comes to your door with the sound of The Grinch

If your halls are decked for the holidays, there may be one part of your Christmas decor that you overlooked: your doorbell. Yes, your doorbell can play a part in your holiday decorating and general vibe — that is if you have a Ring doorbell, which you can set to sound like The Grinch for the holiday season.

To celebrate the renewal of the "'Tis The Grinch Holiday Podcast" on Amazon Music, Wondery+ and other podcast platforms, Ring still offers Grinch Quick Replies for its video doorbells during this holiday season.

Greet visitors with The Grinch during the holiday season thanks to Ring doorbell cameras

Each message features The Grinch responding to a visitor with his signature Grinchy grumpiness. Some of them are very Christmas-themed, but some could even be used year-round.

Here are all the messages:

• “Huh? A visitor? To THIS house? Max! Should I scare them away? (dog barks) Ugh, fine … you’re no fun. They’ll be right there.”
• “Oh, thank goodness. They’re trying to make me sing songs and bake cookies in there. Me! The Grinch! But now that you’re here, you can do it! They’ll be right there. Don’t you move!”
• “OK, hello? Hi. (coughing) Seems like there’s a bit of a snafu with the roast beast in there. Wooo, that is stinging my eyes! Too much Who-Sauce! Sorry, please leave a message.”
• “Hello, it’s The Grinch. What do you want? No! Don’t answer that. Instead, please leave a message after the weird sound I’m about to make. (Makes weird sound).”
• “Oh my … Oh, my word … there’s just so much paper, and tape, and bows and smiling. So much laughter! I’ve gotta get out of here! Leave them a message!”
• “Oooohh!! Look who it is! Are you stopping by for a bit of festive cheer? Yeah, whatever. Yuck. Unfortunately, there is plenty of cheer to go around, but now you can have my portion! They’ll be there in a bit. Enjoy!”
