SNAX-Sational Brands has launched its 2024 holiday #SnackGiving campaign in partnership with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. The two entities continue their shared mission of supporting pediatric patients.
The #SnackGiving campaign centers on limited-edition flavors like Cookie Pop Iced Gingerbread and Candy Pop Peppermint Hot Chocolate, which combine indulgent holiday-inspired tastes with the company’s signature low-calorie, better-for-you popcorn. Proceeds from these products contribute to Ryan Seacrest Foundation's initiatives, such as operating Seacrest Studios in pediatric hospitals, which provide creative outlets for young patients through media-focused activities.
This year’s #SnackGiving campaign introduces recipes by pastry chef Samantha Benjamin, which has the potential to enhance consumer engagement by encouraging creative uses for the popcorn. Additionally, the company is expanding its philanthropic efforts with hospital visits featuring family-friendly activities and live demonstrations of Benjamin’s recipes.
