Butterball and Hedley & Bennett Team Up for Thanksgiving Hosting

This Thanksgiving season, families can expect to see a fresh approach to holiday hosting as Butterball, the beloved turkey brand of the U.S., joins forces with renowned chef gear brand Hedley & Bennett. In an innovative partnership, they are introducing the first-ever Thanksgiving Hosting Pants, designed specifically to empower and inspire hosts in the kitchen. This collaboration aims to alleviate the stress of holiday cooking by providing both style and functionality.

The Need for Confidence in the Kitchen

According to a recent survey by Butterball, the Togetherness Report 2025 Thanksgiving Outlook, nearly 25% of holiday hosts feel overwhelmed by the task of cooking a turkey. Among Millennial hosts, this number rises to 37%. With many striving for perfection, it’s no surprise that 18% of participants admit to losing track of the fun amidst the hustle of holiday preparations. Surprisingly, 5% stated they would prefer waiting in line at the DMV than hosting Thanksgiving this year.

Recognizing this anxiety, Butterball's initiative encourages a shift in mindset. A significant finding shows that 68% of hosts feel more prepared tackling the day’s challenges when they wear the right attire. This insight prompted the creation of the Thanksgiving Hosting Pants, which are accessible for free through their website.

Stylish and Functional Design

The Thanksgiving Hosting Pants are crafted in a vibrant Butterball blue and feature playful turkey-inspired prints. These pants are not only fashionable but also designed with key functionalities to enhance the cooking experience. Noteworthy features include:

• - A bespoke pocket to securely hold the recommended meat thermometer from Butterball’s Turkey Talk-Line experts.
• - A pocket specifically designed for the 1-800-BUTTERBALL hotline, ensuring help is always within reach when holiday cooking challenges arise.
• - A towel loop to keep hosts mess-free, plus extra loops for spoons, brushes, whisks and more.
• - A built-in bottle opener to ensure hydration and fun during the festivities.
• - A collection of fun iron-on patches for customization, allowing hosts to express their unique style while cooking.

Christa Leupen, Butterball's director of purpose and consumer communication, highlighted the importance of confidence in the kitchen. She stated, “Having made turkeys for over 70 years, we wish to support hosts by helping them feel comfortable and confident with the innovative Thanksgiving Hosting Pants.” On the other hand, Ellen Bennett, founder of Hedley & Bennett, emphasized the mission of empowering creativity in the kitchen, whether one is an experienced chef or preparing a turkey for the first time.

Giving Back This Holiday Season

Beyond providing fun and functional cooking gear, Butterball is committed to giving back to communities in need this season. They have pledged to donate 10,000 whole turkeys throughout November, along with a $100,000 contribution to Feeding America to support food banks nationwide, aiming to provide approximately 1 million meals. This initiative highlights Butterball’s belief that everyone deserves the joy of a festive meal.

Support for Hosts

For those needing more than just pants, Butterball’s Turkey Talk-Line remains available throughout the holiday season to assist both novice and experienced hosts. With the experts available via phone, text, and social media, they provide support and share recipes, ensuring that everyone can create unforgettable holiday meals.
