Ahead of the theatrical release of MGM’s highly anticipated animated sequel “The Addams Family 2” on Oct. 1, Kellogg Company is teaming up with the iconic studio to bring fans a new way to experience their favorite macabre clan: breakfast. This July, the creepy, kooky, and mysteriously spooky Addams Family is joining the breakfast table and beyond with “The Addams Family 2”-inspired cereals and snacks and in-pack giveaways of the first animated Addams Family movie.
The limited-edition spooky cereals — Kellogg’s® Froot Loops®, Kellogg’s® Chocolate Frosted Flakes™, and Kellogg’s® Apple Jacks® — are each transformed for Halloween with marshmallow-shaped monsters, ghosts, and bats that intermingle with your favorite breakfast cereals. Plus, beloved Addams Family characters, including Wednesday, It, and Lurch, make a special box appearance alongside Toucan Sam®, Tony the Tiger®, and more.
For even more Addams Family fun, boxes of Kellogg cereal, snacks, and more are marked with a download notice offering a free digital download of the first animated Addams Family movie.
“A timeless Halloween classic, ‘The Addams Family’ has brought families and friends together for years,” said Laura Newman, senior marketing director of Kellogg All Family Cereal. “This collaboration enables families to bring the oddly lovable Addams Family spirit home with our spooky cereals, trick-or-treat-ready snacks, and a free download of the first animated Addams Family movie within specially marked boxes.”
Along with Kellogg cereals, Kellogg’s® Froot Loops® Jumbo Snax, Pop-Tarts® Frosted Spooky Chocolatey Fudge Bites, and Rice Krispies Treats® Original Big Bars are getting a Halloween transformation. Featuring “The Addams Family” characters and Toucan Sam strutting in festive costumes, all varieties are available in single-serving pouches or bars for trick-or-treaters.
“A fan-favorite for decades, ‘The Addams Family’ continues to resonate with audiences of all ages across the globe,” said Stephen Bruno, chief marketing officer of MGM. “With this exciting new Kellogg collaboration, we are giving fans an entirely new way to experience everyone’s favorite macabre clan beyond this October’s movie release, whether it’s enjoying a bowl of spooky cereal or nibbling on an out-of-the-ordinary trick-or-treat snack.”
