With the Tiny Kitchen x Big Meals campaign, McCormick helped people to prepare extra-special holiday gatherings at a time when families were more eager than ever to be reunited with one another after years apart. The campaign unfolded with the help of Emmy Award-winning actor Eric Stonestreet and McCormick identified three well-deserving hometown heroes who made a difference in their communities during the pandemic.
Each recipient was given a Tiny Kitchen with everything they needed to prepare a big holiday feast for celebrating with friends and family. The state-of-the-art kitchen included a full-size oven, sink and "every appliance and gadget needed for meal preparation," plus a pantry stocked with groceries and a full stock of spices, seasoning mixes and extracts for creating flavor-packed dishes.
