HelloFresh Celebrates ‘Friends’ 30th Anniversary With ‘Rachel Green’s Trifle’ Kit

HelloFresh is the latest company to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic TV show, “Friends,” with the release of the “Rachel Green Trifle” meal kit.

As a throwback to Season 6, Episode 9 of the popular show, “The One Where Ross Got High,” the limited-edition meal kit will allow buyers to recreate the famed shepherd’s pie-meets-English trifle recipe that Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) comically failed.

RetailWire got a chance to test out the HelloFresh meal kit, which you can check out below.

@bernadettegiacomazzo @HelloFresh US recently released a collaboration with #Friends that taught users how to make the "Rachel Green Trifle"! It was Shepherds Pie on one side (I substituted the ground beef for #Boca grounds) and a proper English trifle on the other.

HelloFresh revealed that its goal was to pay tribute to the iconic sitcom while teaching its customers a fun way to make a (surprisingly delicious) meal.

“FRIENDS is an iconic show, and the Thanksgiving episodes are especially memorable, so recreating Rachel’s English trifle-meets-shepherd’s pie mashup was an exciting culinary challenge for us,” said Michelle Doll Olson, senior culinary development manager at HelloFresh US, in a statement accompanying the press release announcement surrounding the meal kit. “Drawing inspiration from the original dish, our goal was to capture the humor and fun of the episode while ensuring the recipe is still tasty. Whether you choose to enjoy each recipe on its own or bravely mix them together, this sweet and savory dish is sure to be a hit at your FRIENDSgiving this year!”

Rachel Green’s Trifle kits will be available starting on Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. ET on a first-come, first-served basis for $34.99, and they come with free shipping. No subscription to HelloFresh is needed to purchase the meal kit.

HelloFresh Is the Latest Company To Collaborate With ‘Friends’

HelloFresh isn’t the only company celebrating the iconic “Friends” sitcom’s 30th anniversary. At the top of the month, McDonald’s Spain announced it was releasing “Friends”-themed “Adult Happy Meals.”

In collaboration with the well-known sitcom, the Spain franchise has released a series of figures that showcase each of the six cast members, according to Deadline. The adult-only Happy Meal comes with fries and a drink. You can choose between a Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, McRoyal Delux, CBO, or McChicken. The meal also includes “Monica’s Marinara,” a special sauce created specifically for the “Friends Box.”

The worldwide branch of the fast-food company also released a social media campaign in which it transformed a McDonald’s restaurant into the famous Central Perk coffee shop from the hit show, replete with the recognizable orange couch.
