According to social media conversations, parents are 40% less positive about breakfast when it involves their kids. Eggo wants to turn that stat around.
“For years the ‘L’Eggo My Eggo’ slogan has been about conflict,” said Laura Newman, Marketing Director with Eggo. “But in truth, Eggo is often the one thing parents and their kids can agree on during hectic mornings. That’s why we’ve created a new tagline: ‘L’Eggo With Eggo’. It’s time for Eggo to embrace its role as the morning win that it is, because small wins can make parents feel like heroes.”
Since parents often jump on social media to vent about their morning mishaps, Eggo is partnering with a hype squad of celebrity parents including actress Melissa Joan Hart, gymnast and entrepreneur Shawn Johnson and pro football star Mark Ingram II to surprise parents with personalized social videos that show solidarity and encourage them to L’Eggo With Eggo.

For optimal mileage out of your kid’s holiday pjs this year without having to eye roll when you see a Santa-Claus-clad child rounding the corner in February, consider these 5 super cute holiday prints that are more evergreen… pun intended.

Even thought Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween event has been cancelled this year, there’s still plenty of fun to be had this fall season at Walt Disney World. The special time of year will run from Sept. 15 to Oct. 31 at the Magic Kingdom where you’ll not only be able to soak up all things autumn, but you’ll be able to dress the part, too!
That’s right––for the first time ever, adults will be able to dress up during regular operating hours! Usually, only guests 14 and under can don dress-up duds but this year the parks are allowing everyone to get in on the fun.
Per usual, adults will still not be able to wear costume masks and required face coverings are still a must. If you’re unsure what will be acceptable upon arriving at the park, check out Disney’s Know Before You Go page and Costume Guidelines.
In addition to the exciting costume news, Disney parks are also prepping for fall with a new Halloween-themed brood of characters in their own costumes. And as always, lots of tasty treats that include a Pumpkin Spiced Waffle Sundae, Not So Poison Apple Cupcake and Orange and Black Sugar Churros await.
“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” If anyone knows how best to spread holiday cheer, It’s Buddy the Elf. International Delight is partnering with the beloved holiday movie Elf to release a special edition of coffee creamers that taste like they are straight from Santa’s workshop.
These flavors, only available through the holiday season, include Frosted Sugar Cookie, Peppermint Mocha, and new Caramel Waffle Cookie.
Caramel Waffle Cookie Creamer is filled with notes of rich caramel and toasty waffle cookie.
Frosted Sugar Cookie Creamer brings a holiday treat to your morning cup, like a sweet and crumbly cookie alongside your coffee with a festive frosting finish.
Peppermint Mocha Creamer offers a classic winter flavor combo of sweet and peppermint and rich chocolate in one creamer.
