Candy-Inspired Holiday Movies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

M&M’s x 'Red One' Collaboration Brings Humor to Holiday Movie Nights

— November 13, 2024 — Marketing
M&M’s is making movie nights a little sweeter this holiday season by teaming up with Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming action film 'Red One.' While the film tells a thrilling tale of Santa’s disappearance, fans will also notice another 'Red' character vying for the spotlight -- M&M’s own Red, determined to make his mark in the holiday fun.

Through this whimsical campaign, M&M’s spokescandies launch a playful takeover, hijacking trailers and posters and engaging with the film’s stars, including Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, to humorously demand a role in the holiday spectacle. While Red One may focus on Santa’s rescue, M&M’s reminds us that the 'real Red One' deserves attention too.

In Canada, fans can immerse themselves further with exclusive M&M’s x Red One popcorn buckets at select theaters, adding a festive touch to their holiday viewing. This campaign is all about celebrating connection, laughter, and a sprinkle of chocolatey fun in every holiday gathering.
