Insights

This promotional campaign and market research report, while interesting from a marketing perspective, has minimal direct financial impact on Campbell's (CPB) stock. The State of the Sides Report and -edition candle collection are primarily brand awareness initiatives rather than revenue-driving activities. While the data shows strong consumer engagement with side dishes (with 55% preferring sides over turkey) and highlights Campbell's strategic position in the holiday cooking market, especially among Gen Z consumers (45% favoring mac and cheese), these marketing efforts are routine seasonal activities that don't materially affect the company's financial outlook or stock performance.

 Sides Enthusiasts Can Now Enjoy the Scents of their Favorite Holiday Side Dishes Year-Round with
Limited-Edition Candle Collection

CAMDEN, N.J. , Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Campbell's® officially kicked off Sides Season™ with the launch of the 2024 State of the Sides Report.  The report offers a detailed look at the holiday side dishes and recipe trends that Americans will enjoy as they gather around the holiday table.

"For generations, Campbell's has been at the center of holiday traditions and tables, bringing flavor to family tables across the country," said Marci Raible, Vice President, Integrated Marketing, Campbell's. "As we celebrate the third year of our State of the Sides Report, it's clear that side dishes are the cornerstone of holiday meals and memories—and Campbell's is an essential ingredient in creating these beloved dishes."

This year's State of the Sides Report reveals the nation's passion for side dishes and the ways we connect during the holidays:

  • More than 55% would rather pile their plates with side dishes than the turkey itself, reaffirming that sides are the true star of the meal.

  • Nearly 40% admit they'd be perfectly content with a plate full of only side dishes, proving that the variety and flavors of sides are what make Thanksgiving special.

  • Nearly 45% are joining Friendsgiving celebrations, where they can experiment with new sides and connect over shared meals with friends.

Beyond the dinner table, the State of the Sides Report examines popular Thanksgiving activities enjoyed by Americans, such as watching a Thanksgiving Day parade, playing and watching football, and even curating the perfect cooking playlist to set the mood while preparing their holiday feast.

New this year, Campbell's has partnered with CAMP, the premier family experience company, to create Campbell's Limited Edition Candle Collection: The Scents of Sides Season. The candle collection includes four exclusive scents inspired by some of the top side dishes of this season.

  • Jalapeño Cheddar Mac & Cheese – The spiced aroma of warm, gooey cheese baked to perfection with a hint of jalapeño adding a kick to the scent of melty cheddar.
  • Apple, Fennel & Herb Stuffing – The smell of savory fennel, thyme and rosemary in this stuffing-inspired candle will instantly transport you to Thanksgiving dinner.
  • Everything Bagel-Seasoned Mashed Potatoes – A creamy, buttery scent complemented by notes of garlic that brings the cozy, savory aroma of mashed potatoes to your home.

Visit CAMP on Monday, Nov. 18 to purchase the candle collection, retailing for $30. These fun and fragrant candles offer a delightful way to experience your favorite holiday side dish flavors beyond the holiday table.
