In celebration of Friends' 30th anniversary, fans of the 90s sitcom have been treated to a range of nostalgic collabs, including Rachel Green’s Trifle Kits from HelloFresh.
In one fan-favorite Thanksgiving episode of Friends, Rachel begins layering sweet trifle ingredients and mistakingly adds on a few savory additions. HelloFresh's limited-edition meal kit invites people to make their own version of the infamous Shepherd’s pie-meets-English Trifle recipe with a custom trifle dish that keeps the sweet side separate from the savory side.
This humorous meal kit marking a milestone anniversary serves six and can be purchased without a HelloFresh subscription, making the recipes for Beef Shepherd’s Pie and a Classic English Trifle perfect for creating and sharing this Friendsgiving.
