The 'Hayu Pride Cookie' headlines a sweet and spirited collaboration between reality TV streaming service Hayu and Toronto’s beloved Craig’s Cookies in celebration of Pride Month. Featuring pink batter and rainbow sprinkles, the vibrant treat will be available from June 19 - 22. Customers who order a box of cookies at Craig’s Church Street, Leslieville, or Parkdale locations will receive a complimentary Hayu Pride Cookie while supplies last.
This limited-edition cookie celebrates Hayu’s commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ representation across its reality TV catalogue and Craig’s Cookies' dedication to year-round inclusivity. Proceeds from the campaign will benefit 'Friends of Ruby,' a local nonprofit offering mental health services, housing, and support for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth aged 16–29.
It’s more than a cookie -- it’s a colorful show of allyship, representation, and hometown pride.
