A lot of things are going on for

the holidays here at General Mills. There is has been tons of positive feedback and much excitement focused on our new cereal that has just recently hit grocery stores across the country. This got us here at General Mills thinking of a whole bunch of fun holiday ideas.

The first thing that we were thinking is that we should do some caroling! Our new spokesperson “candy man” Lamar Odom and others will be participating in some Christmas caroling. The singers will be bringing around free boxes of cereal to each home.

With all the recent success of the cereal, we wanted to reach out and thank all of you that have been so supportive. You have really helped General Mills make this launch the best we have ever seen!

Another fun idea we had was to hold our first annual gingerbread cereal house-making contest. Using at least one box of gingerbread cereal, the person who builds the best gingerbread house will win courtside tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers. The winner will also score a meet and greet with Lamar Odom the candy man after the game.

We really want to thank all of you out there for helping this cereal become an instant favorite. We couldn’t have done it without you guys. And this Christmas we want to give back to you and your families as much as you have helped our family here at General Mills.

So be on the lookout for carolers and get your box of gingerbread cereal and get cracking on the gingerbread house! The candy man will judge the gingerbread houses. So make sure there is plenty of candy and it is totally edible because he is probably going to eat it!
