DALLAS, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It's not Cinco de Mayo without guacamole. Avocados From Mexico™ (AFM), the number one selling brand of avocados in the U.S., is partnering with Mission® and Modelo® to help shoppers turn their Cinco festivities into CincOMG-worthy celebrations.

In fact, avocado consumption during the first four weeks leading up to Cinco de Mayo has grown +27% over the last 5 years according to data from Nielsen2. The partnership between the three iconic brands is fueled by fun in-store displays, consumer savings, sweepstakes, digital and social activations to inspire shoppers to create delicious party snacks and recipes. The program launches in-store beginning April 11 – May 9, 2022.
"Cinco de Mayo represents a great opportunity to showcase the essence and origin of Avocados From Mexico – the spirit of Mexicanity," said Stephanie Bazan, Vice President of Shopper and Trade Marketing at Avocados From Mexico.
