Coffee Mate Meets Harry Potter 2026

It's time! The full nationwide rollout of Coffee Mate's new Harry Potter Butterbeer creamers and cold foam is here!

The partnership launched it products at select retailers in December 2025.

They feature notes of butterscotch, caramel, and cream soda, available in regular, zero-sugar creamer, and cold foam formats to bring the Wizarding World flavor to your daily coffee routine.

This magical collaboration continues Coffee mate's tradition of pop-culture themed flavors, letting fans enjoy a taste.

The first Coffee-mate Harry Potter collaboration launched in July 2025, introducing limited-edition Toffee Cauldron Cake and Zero Sugar White Chocolate Peppermint Toad flavors, followed by Butterbeer options later that year, marking a magical partnership for the beloved wizarding world.

Inspiration: The flavors were inspired by treats from the Honeydukes sweet shop in Hogsmeade. 

After July, the nationwide rollout started in August 2025 for a limited time.

This initial release paved the way for the Butterbeer creamers and cold foams to join the magical lineup later in late 2025.

Amanda Zaydman, Nestlé's director of brand marketing for the coffee and beverage division, said:

“With the launch of our Harry Potter Butterbeer Flavoured Creamers and Cold Foam, we’re inviting fans to transform their daily brew into something truly enchanting. Our ongoing partnership with Warner Bros Discovery Global Consumer Products continues to inspire us to bring the flavours of the wizarding world to life in new ways, blending beloved storytelling with the Coffee Mate passion for flavour innovation."

Pricing is set at $4.49 for a 28oz creamer and $5.49 for a 14oz cold foam canister (prices may vary).

3 New Items

This is a history making moment as these mark the first Butterbeer creamer and cold foam products sold in the United States at nationwide retailers.

Apart from major grocery outlets you can also order these products via online retailers.

Patrick's Stary-Berry Shortcake Pie

The iconic SpongeBob television series premiered on Nickelodeon in 1999.

Patrick Star debuted as his sidekick and the rest is history. It took 22 years after the series initial launch for Patrick to get his own spin-off show in 2021. We always knew Patrick was a star. The Patrick Star Show premiered on Nickelodeon on July 9, 2021.

Now, he's getting more shine than ever with the release of his own Patrick-themed pie at Burger King to help promote the upcoming new SpongeBob movie released December 19, 2025 in theaters.

StarBerry Shortcake Pie 

Burger King's "Patrick's Star-Berry Shortcake Pie" is a menu item you can purchase alone or as a apart of a bundle.

BK SpongeBob Meal 2025

It appears to have had the most effort put into it apart from the other menu items related to thos particular promotion partnership. The "SpongeBob’s Krabby Whopper" is nothing more than. A regular cheese whopper with a yellow dyed square shaped bun. The "Pirate’s Frozen Pineapple Float" was merely a pineapple Fanta in slushy form with piña colada-flavored cold foam. "Mr. Krabs’s Cheesy Bacon Tots" are just tater tots filled with cheese and bacon bits. Arguably, all of these items could be made at home with regular ingredients.

Patrick's Pie however is the real treat! Served with strawberry and vanilla cream layers on a crunchy cookie crumb crust, topped with shortcake cookie crumbles and pink star-shaped sprinkles. The sugary delight contains 260 calories, 12 grams of fat and 35 grams of carbohydrates. At just $3 a slice, the Pie is a alternate to BK's regular menu option, the Hershey’s Sundae Pie.

In some select locations such as Latin American markets, including Mexico and Colombia, there is also "Patrick's Super King Sundae". No word on why other locations didn't get the sundae.

Patrick’s Sundae features vanilla ice cream with two servings of cookie crumble topped with strawberry syrup.

All items on the special SpongeBob menu, including Patrick's Pie and Sundae, are allegedly free of preservatives and artificial colors, as is the food in the lunchbox.

“At Burger King we do partnerships that are fun for the whole family and Oh Jellyfish! Arghh we ready for SpongeBob this month!” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King US&C. “This latest partnership with The SpongeBob™ Movie might just be our most exciting menu yet, with four delicious menu innovations, one-of-a-kind kids toys, and exclusive packaging including two special edition BK crowns.”

“Our long-standing partnership with Burger King has always been built on bold ideas and shared creativity — but this SpongeBob campaign is next-level, said Michelle Hagen, Executive Vice President of Worldwide Partnerships at Paramount Pictures. “We’re diving deeper than ever into the world of Bikini Bottom and bringing fans the most epic FUN and never-been-done-before. It’s the ultimate mash-up of imagination and innovation.”

Les Razmoket à Paris 25ème Anniversaire 2025 : Célébrer les films Montres

Le 17 novembre 2025 marquera le 25ème anniversaire de la sortie du film Les Razmoket à Paris sorti en salles le 17 novembre 2000 aux Etats-Unis !

Le long métrage d'animation sorti par Paramount et Nickelodeon a rapporté 103 millions de dollars au box-office après avoir été réalisé avec un budget de 30 millions de dollars et a vu 20 millions de dollars dépensés en efforts promotionnels pour le succès du film, y compris des jouets dans les repas des enfants dans les restaurants fast-food.

Du 13/11/2000 au 10/12/2000, Burger King a fait la promotion des Razmoket à Paris. Pendant la promotion, Burger King a proposé 4 montres spéciales "ChatBack", chaque montre présentant une mini-conversation entre 2 Razmoket. Une montre était lancée par semaine et vendue pour 1,99 $ US avec tout achat de repas de valeur. Les quatre ont été rendus exclusifs pour une durée limitée seulement. On peut affirmer sans se tromper qu'au cours de cette période, seul un certain groupe d'enfants (maintenant connu sous le nom de Millennials) a pu expérimenter et participer à ce blitz promotionnel en tant que consommateur, qui est désormais gravé dans leurs souvenirs sous le signe de la nostalgie.

Les montres ont été conçues de manière unique et brillamment dans des couleurs vives et audacieuses allant du vert citron, du violet et du transparent, du bleu profond et de l'orange. Lorsqu'ils sont activés, les personnages des Razmoket « discutent » entre eux en utilisant des phrases inspirées du film. Chaque montre présentait une « conversation » entre deux personnages différents des Razmoket en appuyant sur un bouton. Ses bracelets étaient faits de caoutchouc épais et difficile à briser. Outre les caractéristiques des personnages, il était facile de lire l'heure pour un enfant ou un adulte. Chaque montre était amusante, adaptée aux familles et conçue de manière unique, à sa manière.

IL Y AVAIT 4 MONTRES PRÉSENTÉES. Ils comprenaient : Phil & Lil. la montre verte sortie la semaine 1. Kimi & Chuckie. la montre orange. sorti la semaine 2. Angelica & Susie. la montre violette. sorti la semaine 3. et Tommy & Dil. la montre bleue. sorti la semaine 4.

Contrairement à toutes les autres montres-bracelets jamais fabriquées. Il ne s’agit pas d’une Rolex moyenne, mais d’une concurrente contemporaine à part entière.

Krispy Kreme and Nestlé launch Quality Street Doughnuts

Fans of Nestlé's Quality Street are in for a sweet surprise – as the iconic chocolate brand teams up with Krispy Kreme for a mouthwatering new collaboration – bringing together two of the brand’s favourite chocolates just in time for Thanksgiving.

Together, the two brands have whipped up doughnuts inspired by two of Quality Street's most iconic chocolates – The Purple One and Caramel Swirl.

Too add, if you're more into a festive hot drink, the collaboration also includes a Purple One Hot Chocolate, which features roasted hazelnut syrup, and a Caramel Swirl Latte, which is topped with cream, sugar and drizzled in dulce de leche.

Both the hot drinks are served with the Quality Street chocolate they're based on.

Each doughnut has been magically crafted to capture the rich, gooey flavours fans know and love, complete with glossy toppings and indulgent fillings worthy of the festive season.

The Purple One – from €3.99

The classic Purple One from Quality Street features smooth caramel and a whole hazelnut wrapped in milk chocolate – and Krispy Kreme has given it a festive makeover.

Krispy Kreme's new interpretation of the flavour is a rich purple doughnut, stuffed with caramel cream and chocolate hazelnut filling, then finished with a glossy caramel icing swirl and crunchy hazelnut nibs on top.

The Caramel Swirl – from €3.99

The Caramel Swirl sweet – a silky milk chocolate shell filled with smooth liquid caramel – has also been reimagined.

Krispy Kreme’s take is just as indulgent, featuring a caramel cream filling, a rich chocolate glaze, a drizzle of golden caramel, and a sprinkle of shimmering gold sugar for that festive finishing touch.

Both doughnuts are available to buy from Krispy Kreme shops and online from today (November 3) and will also be stocked in selected supermarkets across the UK.

The Caramel Swirl® Latte – from €4.64

Krispy Kreme has also expanded the collaboration to include a Quality Street-inspired drink.

The Caramel Swirl Latte is the perfect festive pick-me-up to pair with the new doughnuts.

The Purple One® Hot Chocolate – from €4.64

A cozy hot chocolate infused with roasted hazelnut syrup and served with The Purple One sweet on the side. 

The announcement came via Krispy Kreme’s UK Instagram account. Subject to availability, the offer is only for a limited time. No word on if this new invention is made available exclusively to the UK or will other territories around the world will see a roll out as well.

Guy Meakin, Krispy Kreme's UK President shared his excitement for the collaboration and said:

“We’re thrilled to partner with Nestlé and the Quality Street brand to celebrate the start of the festive season in a truly joyful way.

Both of our brands have a long history of bringing people together, and this collaboration is the perfect expression of that spirit. What better way to step into the season than a dough-licious combination of Krispy Kreme’s melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts inspired by festive favourites Quality Street.”

Kate Alexander, Head of Food & Commercial Channels at Nestlé Professional, shared her excitement:

“We’re delighted to be bringing the spirit of Quality Street to Krispy Kreme this festive season.

Our iconic flavours have been part of Christmas celebrations for generations, and this exciting collaboration is a delicious new way for fans to enjoy them.”

Starbucks Drama! Layoffs, Protests, and Nervous Breakdowns

Thinking about walking your poodle tomorrow morning while sipping some Starbucks and doing some sidewalk window shopping? Well, think again! It's over!

Starbucks has sent it's costumers into a frenzy! A nearby Starbucks may be harder to come by in the coming weeks as the seemingly ubiquitous coffee chain is set to close hundreds of stores across the U.S.

Reports of mass hysteria and nervous breakdowns quickly erupted. Fans of the popular beverage chain simply can not handle the devastating news of their favorite coffee shop abruptly making such a decision.

There's no turning back now and all signs lead back to operation, "Back to Starbucks", spearheaded by company CEO, Brian Niccol. The restructuring plan, began this week, with signs posted in the windows of some shuttering locations.

After Niccol took the helm back in September 2024, he set out on a mission to improve the company’s performance, quality and speed of food and drink delivery. All while “elevating the in-store experience” to recapture the mojo of the 54-year-old chain.

The company is eliminating 900 corporate positions, while an undisclosed number of retail employees will be notified this week that their stores, and their jobs there, will be ending.

North American same-store sales were down 2% in the third quarter, following a downward trend that saw a similar 2% decline in fiscal year 2024, according to financial filings.

From the outset of his Back to Starbucks plan, Niccol pointed a finger at underperforming stores in the U.S. that failed to deliver on the coffeehouse experience.

This may be due to the constant criticism the company has faced over the years.

A significant amount of controversies have plagued the successful business with complaints of alleged human and labor rights violations in its supply chain, such as forced labor and child labor, particularly in Brazil and Guatemala.

As well as mistreatment of employees, it's union-busting tactics and a recent push for a strict new dress code that sparked baristas' walkouts.

Their have also been political boycotts, particularly around the Israel-Hamas conflict, and previous incidents like the Philadelphia arrests in 2018 that ignited a racial bias discussion. Even the infamous "Oleato Drinks" debacle, where olive oil-infused coffee drinks faced backlash after several customers reported experiencing stomach problems after consuming them in 2023 and 2024. Some even suggest the company was low key trying to poison its guests for strange reasons unknown to the public.

Starbucks workers protest 2025 shutdown

On September 25, 2025, barista workers rallied at the Starbuck’s store at Clark Street and Ridge Avenue in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood, one of the locations targeted for closure. However, as planned, the store officially shut down September 27.

This latest food chain massacre will include locations in Pittsburgh, N.Y., Montana, New Jersey, Massachusetts, even Toronto and Vancouver of Canada.

Let's see what happens next!!!
