PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- To help families embrace the magic of the holiday season, Keebler® is encouraging consumers to create moments of togetherness through the release of two new tasty products: Elf® Limited-Edition Keebler Gingerbread Fudge Stripes and Keebler Pretzel Pie Crusts.

Elf Gingerbread Fudge Stripes

In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, Keebler is celebrating the 20^th anniversary of iconic holiday movie, Elf, with the release of Elf Limited-Edition Keebler Gingerbread Fudge Stripes. This exclusive release is a festive take on Keebler's beloved Fudge Stripes, featuring the sweet taste of gingerbread complemented by delicious white fudge. Ernie and his Elves created these delectable cookies with four unique designs based on fan-favorite scenes from the film, along with special packaging that celebrates two decades of the iconic holiday movie.

Keebler Pretzel Pie Crusts

Keebler is elevating holiday baking with the release of its Pretzel Pie Crusts, a salty and sweet take on the brand's ready-to-eat crusts. While delivering homemade desserts around the holidays can be tedious and time-consuming, with Keebler, it doesn't have to be. New Keebler Pretzel Pie Crusts enable families to spend more time enjoying the process of seasonal baking together without having to start from scratch. These ready-to-eat crusts are perfect for both bake and no-bake pies. Consumers can simply add their favorite fillings, and within minutes, their holiday creations are ready to be served.

"We are excited to help spread holiday magic this season and offer families delicious ways to create more meaningful moments," said Alicia Mosley, Vice President of Marketing at Keebler. "With our tasty holiday offerings, everyone can enjoy moments of togetherness, whether they're creating holiday desserts with our new Pretzel Pie Crusts or celebrating the 20^th anniversary of an iconic film with the Elf Limited-Edition Keebler Gingerbread Fudge Stripes."

For even more holiday magic, consumers can interact with Ernie through Keebler's immersive digital platform, Open for Magic. The platform offers fans the chance to connect with Keebler's Ernie the Elf and everybody's favorite human raised by elves, Buddy the Elf, by building a virtual gingerbread house with their families. Additionally, bakers can get inspiration for their holiday dishes through new seasonal recipes.
