Crisp autumn air and changing leaves are signs that Thanksgiving is just around the corner - and with it, a chance to gather with family and friends over favorite foods. Food is a big part of what brings people together during the holidays: 87% of Americans say food should be part of any holiday gathering, and 85% say food is one of the highlights of the holiday season.1
Whether hosting or attending an event, the familiar smell of roast turkey and potatoes wafting from the kitchen creates that festive atmosphere. This Thanksgiving, there are new ways to enjoy seasonal tastes with limited-time flavors from Lay's and poppi. You can now experience the joy of the season by sharing a bag with flavors inspired by the taste of beloved holiday dishes - enjoy them as is or get creative and incorporate them into a recipe.
The limited-time Holi-LAY'S lineup includes three brand new products perfect for autumn. Lay's Cheddar Scalloped Style Potatoes Flavored with Other Natural Flavors Potato Chips is a delicious blend of creamy and cheesy flavor inspired by the Thanksgiving staple, and Lay's Roasted Holiday Turkey Flavored Potato Chips balances roasted turkey flavor and rich gravy taste. Lay's Maple Bacon flavor delivers the perfect balance of sweet maple and smoky bacon taste in every crunchy bite. The Holi-LAY'S lineup is perfect for savoring the flavors of the season - have some as a snack or add them as an ingredient in your next dish.
"The holidays are all about gathering around the table with friends and family, and food plays an important role in those celebrations," said Denise Truelove, senior vice president of marketing, PepsiCo Foods. "With this year's Holi-LAY'S lineup, we're bringing fans flavors inspired by courses on the holiday table, so they can taste the joy of the holiday season before the table has been set and after it's been cleared."
Making their debut in time to join the Thanksgiving celebration, Lay's Cheddar Scalloped Style Potatoes, Roasted Holiday Turkey and Maple Bacon Flavored Potato Chips are available on shelves nationwide.
