Global quick-serve restaurant chain [KFC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-2k) teamed up with on-demand food delivery platform [Deliveroo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackers-cracking-hunger) to launch an eye-catching Christmas gift box activation that includes free Festive [Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsukimi-moon-viewing-burgers). The new Festive Burger boasts the juicy Original Recipe fillet, sage, a crispy hash brown, onion stuffing, mayo, and a tangy cranberry dressing. The pop-up uses over 500 sq ft of bespoke sustainably sourced and recyclable KFC wrapping paper and is located on the River Thames in Central London near the Tate Modern.

Joe Groves at Deliveroo said, “Deliveroo is a bit Christmas mad so when KFC came to us with this exclusive new menu item we knew it deserved something ridiculously festive to launch it to the Great British public and what says Christmas more than the gift of giving”.
