KITKAT is celebrating Ramadan 2024 with the return of its iconic Limited Release Iftar Bar, paying homage to the Muslim community's tradition of breaking fast daily.
This 30-piece bar is now available, with all proceeds supporting Food Banks Canada. Nestlé Canada Inc. officially announced the bar's comeback, emphasizing its commitment to meaningful representation. Unlike the standard four-piece bar, the Iftar bar features thirty pieces, divided into three parts and ideal for enjoying during the meal consumed after sundown. Each set of 10 pieces represents the ten days of each Ashra, featuring moon-inspired iconography.
"Last year's Iftar bar resonated widely with Canadians celebrating Ramadan," says Riona Coller, Marketing Leader, Confectionery at Nestlé Canada. "We're thrilled to officially offer a limited run, furthering our community engagement, and embodying the spirit of service during the holy month with proceeds to support Food Banks Canada. We're honoured to play our part and anticipate many more meaningful celebrations across diverse communities in the years ahead."
The limited release is now available on kitkat.ca while supplies last.
