Football Fans (and Swifties) Can Munch on Mama Kelce’s Cookies
Introducing: Mama Kelce’s Cookies! Aramark Sports + Entertainment, the award-winning food and beverage partner at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Chiefs) and Lincoln Financial Field(Philadelphia Eagles), has teamed up with Donna Kelce, the mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce, to bring her famous chocolate chip cookie recipe to football fans at both stadiums this holiday season.
Fans who attend games on Christmas Day in Kansas City and Philadelphia will be able to order the same sweet treat that Mama Kelce delivered to her sons on Opening Night of Super Bowl LVII, right before the NFL stars faced off as the first brothers to ever compete against each other in the Super Bowl.
The Aramark culinary teams will freshly prepare Mama Kelce’s cookie recipe for fans. All proceeds from cookie sales will benefit Operation Breakthrough based in Kansas City and the Eagles Autism Foundation based in Philadelphia, and Aramark will match the donation to each organization 1:1.
“I am so excited to work with Aramark to bring my cookies to Chiefs’ and Eagles’ fans on Christmas day,” said Donna Kelce. “In this season of giving, it means so much to raise money for two great charities through an old-fashioned bake sale.
“My chocolate chip cookies have been a staple in our house for a long time, so it’s very special to share the recipe that my sons love with fans during the holidays. It’s even sweeter because the Eagles Autism Foundation and Operation Breakthrough will benefit; usually, it’s just my boys!”
Fans will be able to purchase Mama Kelce’s Cookies in packs of two at the following locations:
- GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium – Kingdom Lodge in Section 136
- Lincoln Financial Field – HeadHouse Plaza, Club Markets, and Suite Level
And for those who can’t make it to one of the games, they can follow Mama Kelce’s recipe here.

S Korean Favorite EGGDROP to Open Stores in Philippines
EGGDROP, Korea’s premium Korean egg sandwich brand by Golden Hind Co., Ltd, announced the opening of its second global store in the Philippines following Bangkok, Thailand.
EGGDROP’s entry into the Philippines follows a 10-store agreement in Thailand, the brand’s first country of global expansion. It completes a multi-franchise agreement to open five stores in the Philippines.
EGGDROP will launch two stores in the Philippines in the first half of 2024, followed by three additional stores in the second half of the year in key locations.
EGGDROP’s entry into the Philippine market is part of Golden Hind’s aggressive overseas expansion strategy, which aims to provide Filipino consumers with a new gastronomic experience that is both delicious and healthy.
Starting with its first store in 2017 and completing the opening of 298th stores in South Korea (as of November), EGGDROP has achieved sustained sales growth in a short time thanks to its sensational product design, healthy and delicious “egg food” concept, and Instagrammable food and package design.
Building on this growth in Korea, EGGDROP has recently received franchise inquiries from more than 30 countries around the world, including the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and India.
“We are very excited to announce EGGDROP’s second international expansion,” said Youngwoo Noh, CEO of Golden Hind. “We look forward to providing a fun experience for consumers in the Philippines,” said Mr. Noh. “In addition to Thailand and the Philippines, EGGDROP is actively seeking master franchise partners in other countries such as the U.S. and Japan to strengthen the brand’s presence globally.”
EGGDROP is a premium egg sandwich brand inspired by “complete food” eggs which cook a healthy meal around scrambled eggs made with 1 grade eggs and fresh ingredients.

Nassau Candy Updates Decades Box Nostalgic Candy Gift Sets
Nassau Candy, leading manufacturer of specialty and private label confections, is unveiling a new look for its popular Decades Box Nostalgic Candy Gift Sets. The re-design serves up a more interactive experience, making the Decades Boxes more giftable, while featuring a new assortment of nostalgic goodies.
Each new Decades Box has the signature look and feel of the decade while still creating a cohesive presentation when merchandised together. But what makes the re-design extra fun and interactive are hidden facts about that particular decade incorporated into the design. This is intended to spark memories, conversation, and add to the nostalgic experience.
Not only does the new art make the Decades Boxes more appealing gifts, it also makes merchandising simple. The new package art is vertical on one side and horizontal on the other, allowing for multiple merchandising options.
Also new for the re-launch is the addition of a 2000s box. It joins the current line, which features 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s boxes.
“Nostalgic candies are the most sought-after confectionery items,” said Dana Rodio, director of brand strategy for Nassau Candy. “Our re-designed Decades Boxes offer up their longtime candy favorites all in one place, while transporting them back in time with nostalgic imagery and fun facts. That’s why the entire Decades Box line has long been a favorite gift for milestone birthdays and as party centerpieces.”
The fully re-designed Decades Boxes are available and shipping. To see the entire line and other Nassau Candy gifting options, visit, www.nassaucandy.com.
