Videos: RITZ — A Taste of the Holidays

In this 3-part series A Taste of the Holidays, immigrant families across America welcome Bon Appétit test chef, Rachel Gurjar, into their home to share their family traditions and teach her to make a holiday recipe, using pantry staple, RITZ Crackers. The campaign includes long-form (22min) episodes and many social media cutdowns, from 5 mins to 6 seconds. See more of them HERE. Enjoy!

Ep. 1: The Hosman family [whole episode]

Ep. 2: The Akinmowo family [whole episode]

Ep.3: The Magsaysay family [whole episode]

Our recipe ingredient sections bring me so much joy, so here they are as GIFs.
