The Giant Co. Takes Halloween Virtual

The Giant Co. Takes Halloween Virtual
The Giant Co. is offering eight virtual classes during the month of October, focused on creating healthy snacks.

The Giant Co.'s team of nutritionists is helping kids of all ages create spooky snacks live via Zoom throughout the month of October. The virtual classes will take place every Monday and Wednesday, aiming to further the grocer's new brand platform, For Today's Table, which launched last month.

The classes are all free to attend, but advanced registration is necessary for both the Mini Chef Mornings (meant for children age 6 and under) and Junior Chef Creations (meant for children ages 7 to 18). Registration and a complete list of ingredients are available online.

“The Giant Co. and our new For Today’s Table brand platform is all about bringing families together at the table to connect over a meal. What better way to show the importance of gathering together than by cooking along with your kids via our free virtual classes?” said Kilene Knitter, RD, LDN, regional nutritionist with The Giant Co. “While fall activities and the Halloween season might look a little different this year, there are still plenty of fun and delicious food ideas to get the kids into a festive and healthy spirit all month long.”

  • Oct. 5 at 10:30 a.m.: Witches Broomstick Snack
