The holiday season is packed with activities, shopping, baking, decorating, and more. The good news is that meal prep services exist to help save you time in the kitchen during this hectic month. And one of the most popular services is offering a holiday twist – with a HelloFresh elf-themed box.
Now, you may be wondering, which elf? There are your standard North Pole elves. And there is the infamous Elf on a Shelf.
While both are good guesses, they are not the inspiration for the HelloFresh elf box. Instead, the meal prep service turned to everyone’s favorite pointy-eared character – Buddy played by Will Ferrell in Elf. But the news gets even better.
The company based its HelloFresh elf box on one of the funniest scenes in the iconic holiday film. That’s right – when Buddy makes spaghetti. The limited-edition meal kit contains everything you need to recreate that epic scene.
But if you have not seen Elf, you may feel a little confused about what is so special about spaghetti. Rest assured, it is not just any spaghetti. It is a special, sweetened version.
Fox Business describes it this way, “In the film, Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, explains that elves have four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup. In an attempt to bond with his biological father and stepmother, Buddy makes breakfast for his new family using many of those key food groups.”
The seasonal and limited-edition HelloFresh elf meal kit brings that recipe straight to your kitchen. It includes a step-by-step recipe card and pre-portioned ingredients. That is great news since it will allow you to focus your mental energy on your shopping list.
The kit is available for purchase starting December 5. They are available while supplies last. So make sure to snag yours quickly before it’s too late. However, there are a few important details to note. Each kit runs $14.99 and will serve two people. But you cannot purchase more than two kits per transaction.
Don’t let that put a damper on your holiday spirit, though. You can always place multiple orders if time (and funds) permit. And the best news is that the HelloFresh Elf kits are available to everyone, not just subscribers.
And HelloFresh put as much creative energy into their press release as they did the meal kit. The HelloFresh culinary development manager, Michelle Doll Olson, issued the press release on Tuesday. She said, “While drawing inspiration from the sweet spaghetti dish seen in the movie ‘Elf,’ we created a chocolate-forward version that stays true to Buddy the Elf’s dish, incorporating crushed chocolate cereal, various chocolate candies, marshmallows and of course, syrup.”
“With the option to eat with your hands or pair with a bottle of cola, Buddy the Elf Spaghetti is sure to make even South Pole elves smile,” she continued. This quote references a scene when Buddy finally finishes his sugary creation (using his hands as utensils). He washed it all down with a 2-liter bottle of soda.
And while the soda is optional, adding at least a glass would put the finishing touches on your HelloFresh elf-inspired meal. So make a note on your calendar and get ready to celebrate in style. Buddy’s style, that is.
