Texas Pete

Advent Calendar for Your Thanksgiving Leftovers

Agency: McKinney

Description

Thanksgiving is the biggest single-day food waste event of the year, and after the day, you've only got four days (12 meals) to eat all of your leftover meals before they go bad.

That’s why Texas Pete® is staking its claim as the official hot sauce for leftovers this holiday season with the launch of The Twelve Meals of Leftovers Advent Calendar (also on Instagram), flipping the script on a seasonal staple with possibly the first ever advent calendar that counts down to your Thanksgiving leftovers shelf-life instead of to Christmas! Containing 12 mini hot sauces for each leftover meal, the advent calendar aims to help inspire a second life for your leftovers with bold, flavor-first heat. Launching just in time for Thanksgiving, The Twelve Meals of Leftovers Advent Calendar sets the stage for holiday feasting and doubles as the perfect gift for passionate foodies, leftover enthusiasts and hot sauce fans. 

To battle leftover fatigue further, the Texas Pete® culinary team is providing 12 inspirational recipes, one for each leftover meal and sauce in the calendar, including: Cranberry Turkey Bahn Mi with CHA! Sriracha Sauce, Waffles Benedict with Original Hot Sauce, and a Buffalo Turkey Biscuit with Mild Buffalo Sauce. Recipes will roll out across social media throughout November and December.

This professional campaign titled 'Advent Calendar for Your Thanksgiving Leftovers' was published in United States in November, 2026. It was created for the brand: Texas Pete, by ad agency: McKinney. This Film medium campaign is related to the Food industry and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted 15 minutes ago.
