The holiday season is upon us, and food companies are getting creative with new product offerings to make the most of the festive spirit. From leftover gravy bottles to sorghum-based snacks and nonalcoholic pickle beer, there’s something for everyone this season.
Kraft Heinz is making post-Thanksgiving meals easier with a limited-edition squeezable gravy bottle designed specifically for leftover sandwiches. Inspired by the iconic Moist Maker sandwich from the ’90s sitcom “Friends,” the gravy bottle aims to enhance the flavor of Thanksgiving leftovers. With nearly half of Americans considering gravy a must-have ingredient in their leftover sandwiches, Heinz is catering to this growing demographic of millennial hosts who are redefining holiday celebrations.
Meanwhile, tennis star Novak Djokovic is venturing into the snack industry as a co-founder of Cob Foods, a manufacturer of corn-free popcorn made from sorghum. The environmentally friendly snack promotes soil biodiversity and regenerative agriculture while offering antioxidants and prebiotic fiber for digestion support. Sorghum, a resistant starch, can naturally boost the body’s GLP-1 levels to keep you fuller longer, making it an ideal snack for health-conscious consumers.
In the world of beverages, Athletic Brewing is pushing the boundaries of nonalcoholic beer with the launch of Dill Dreams, a pickle-flavored gose that taps into the trend of savory and umami flavors. With the nonalcoholic beer market projected to reach $5.5 billion by 2034, Athletic Brewing is at the forefront of innovation in the industry. By experimenting with unique flavor profiles and concepts, the brand aims to set new benchmarks for what’s possible in nonalcoholic brewing.
As we indulge in holiday feasts and festivities, these new product offerings add a touch of novelty and excitement to the season. Whether it’s leftover gravy bottles, sorghum-based snacks, or pickle-flavored nonalcoholic beer, there’s no shortage of delicious innovations to enjoy this holiday season. Cheers to a season filled with tasty treats and festive delights!
