Ferrero’s Baby Ruth brand is continuing its multi-year collaboration with the New York Yankees and in 2025, the collaborators are reintroducing exclusive stadium treats and retail promotions for the baseball season.
Fans attending games at Yankee Stadium will once again have access to the popular Baby Ruth milkshake — a chocolate-based dessert topped with a full candy bar — as well as limited-edition Baked Pinstripe Bars — a themed confection that aligns with the team’s iconic uniform design. These desserts provide a unique indulgence not widely available elsewhere.
Additionally, the partnership includes a Yankees Fireworks Night sponsored by Baby Ruth, and this activation is sure to enhance the gameday experience with a postgame spectacle. Outside the stadium, select 7-Eleven stores will offer discounts and free samples tied to the promotion.
