We’re bringing you Luc Belaire, 24¢ mini bottles of bubbly, and more – all delivered to your door in minutes on New Year’s Eve. It’s almost Too Good to Be True. Can’t wait to celebrate with Gopuff on Dec. 31.”

Nearly 80 percent of Gopuff customers said they plan to celebrate the new year at home and the number one beverage they plan to purchase for the holiday is Champagne.

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.
“Aramark Sports + Entertainment immerses guests in the extraordinary everywhere we serve, which includes finding innovative ways to bring pop culture trends to life inside a sports environment,” said Alison Birdwell, president and CEO of Aramark Sports and Entertainment. “We could not be happier to partner with the NFL’s most popular team mom, Donna Kelce, to bring her famous cookies to fans and support two incredible charities during the holiday season.”
