The General Mills x Bridgerton range has been announced by the brand in anticipation of the popular Netflix series' return to help fans commemorate the event in a decidedly delicious way. The product collaboration consists of items from Betty Crocker and Pillsbury, which are each themed with a Regency-era inspiration to offer fans the perfect snacks to enjoy when watching the latest season.
The products include the Pillsbury Bridgerton Petite Blueberry Scone with Lemon Icing, which is ready to bake right out of the tube-style packaging. The Betty Crocker products include the Petite Strawberry Scone Kit, Crème Puff Kit and the Petite Sponge Cake Kit, which are returning after being previously launched last year.
The General Mills x Bridgerton range is launching to coincide with the release of season 4 of the Shondaland-produced Bridgerton on Netflix with Part 1 arriving January 29 and Part 2 on February 26, 2026.
