LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KFC is getting into
the holiday spirit with limited-edition, original holiday buckets
for your Original Recipe® (and Extra Crispy™) fried chicken,
available in restaurants nationwide starting today (Nov. 25). KFC's convenient bucket meals have been
bringing people together around the dinner table for generations,
making it easy for families and friends to spend quality time with
one another, and this limited-time holiday bucket is sure to be the
centerpiece of any festive gathering.
Select KFC bucket meals purchased at your local KFC or online at
kfc.com will be served in a collectible holiday bucket featuring
artwork designed by award-winning children's book author and
illustrator Nicholas John Frith
(Hector and Hummingbird; Hello, Mr.
Dodo! and A Werewolf Named Oliver James),
depicting a picturesque Kentucky Fried holiday setting, complete
with a portrait of Colonel Santa
(Sanders) himself. From decorating the tree to wrapping up
the perfect presents, the new nostalgic bucket design captures the
special holiday moments that Colonel Sanders himself cherished
during the most wonderful time of the year.
Holiday-themed packaging has gained popularity in recent years,
but the holiday bucket has been part of KFC history for decades.
From Japan to South Africa, KFC has a long history of custom
buckets, with holiday-themed designs from all over the world
starting in the 1970s. However, this is the first time KFC U.S. has
introduced an original illustration to the bucket design.
This year, Colonel Santa is putting a spin on KFC's longstanding
holiday bucket tradition, coming to town to share gifts with the
fried chicken fans who have been nice. Fans can enter for a chance
to win one of the uniquely KFC gifts in the holiday bucket
illustration by snapping a photo of their favorite item and posting
it to Instagram with the hashtags #SecretSanders and #Entry.
In honor of KFC's famous secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices,
there are 11 different gift options available. Here are few hints
of the gifts you'll find hidden within the holiday bucket:
A white suit, a black tie…all of these belong
up high.
I resemble a toy soldier; you could also call
me a doll. I was made to crack nuts, but these days I'm used to
deck the halls.
Take me outside to help you in the snow. What
will we build in this white wonderland? The world will soon
know.
Transform into Father Christmas so you can go
from roof to roof. All you need is this outfit and some boots that
are weatherproof.
The contest closes on December
22 at 11:59 p.m. EST and
all gifts will be shipped to winners by December 23. No purchase necessary to enter or
win. KFC holiday bucket contest entries are subject to the
following terms and conditions.
