Don’t give up just yet, and hang in there, as there are exciting new releases waiting for you after you accomplish your task.
You and your colleagues might want to celebrate with a feast from KFC’s new Festive Feast Deals for a job well done. Or you might want to motivate your team while having an all-nighter with some new munchies from Bonchon or Taco Bell.
There are different ways to chill and hang in there at this busiest time of the year. It’s how you make it through it with flying colors, of course! Now, if you’re in for a celebration, then read along.
Bonchon
Fried chicken brand Bonchon is bringing America’s favorite snack with a spin of Korean flavors. Say hello to the new MoPo Corn Dog, which is a perfect snack for when you’re cramming that paper! 😉
As a popular choice in Korean cuisine, this trendy and crunchy snack is sure to capture people’s tastebuds with the popular cheese stretch that you’ve probably seen on social media for quite some time now. You can now test this Korean-style corn dog for a stretch, as Bonchon offers this for a suggested price of just $4.99.
The MoPo Corndog features melty mozzarella cheese that will put cheese lovers into a frenzy. It is covered in a crispy breading with embedded potato dice cubes all over. It is served together with your choice of dipping sauce, like Ranch, Spicy Mayo, Bibimbap sauce, Kewpie Mayo, or Cucumber Wasabi. Like their chicken flavor coating, it can also be enjoyed with sweet and savory options by brushing it with their signature Soy Garlic sauce or rolled in cinnamon sugar.
To celebrate its launch, customers who dine in or order the MoPo Corndog online this weekend from Friday, December 6 until Sunday, December 8, will receive a MoPo Corndog for free. If you’re ordering online, just enter the promo code “CORNDOG” at the checkout to score the free snack. But do note that the offer is limited to one person per day while supplies last.
What are you waiting for? Get your MoPo Corndog while they’re frying at participating Bonchon locations nationwide. They’re available for dine-in, pick-up, and delivery.

KFC
Are you up for a festive feast? Better let KFC handle that as they’re serving their best recipe: fried chicken and some side and dessert favorites. This holiday season, KFC is serving up both value and joy as they roll up their holiday meal sets: Festive Feast Deal and Chicken & Tenders Feast at participating locations.
The exciting part? The chain is launching its vibrant and playful Christmas-themed bucket! Called “Buckets of Joy,” it was designed and created by the well-known illustrator team Yeye Weller, along with some holiday merchandise that is inspired by streetwear fashion. This exciting collaboration features the following merchandise with printed Yeye Weller designs on it:
- Clothing (t-shirts, sweaters, and hoodies)
- Beanie
- Socks
- Tumbler and mug
- Wrapping paper
While wrapped in Yeye Weller illustrations, you can also bring the Festive Feast Deal to the dinner table. You can get the following menu items from the meal deal, all for a suggested price of $25.99 (may vary per location):
- Six pieces of fried chicken
- Six pieces of the brand’s new Original Recipe Tenders
- Your choice of two large homestyle sides
- Three sauces
But if you are hosting a bigger gathering of colleagues, you may get the Chicken & Tenders Feast. It features the following menu items:
- Eight pieces of signature fried chicken
- Eight pieces of Original Recipe Tenders
- Your choice of three large homestyle sides
- Four pieces of biscuits
- Four sauces for dipping
Each of these festive feasts can be ordered in restaurants, in the app, or at KFC.com for deliveries or quick pick-ups. Hurry and get them at participating KFC locations for a limited time.

Taco Bell
Taco Bell is joining in fast food’s Chicken Nugget war as they unveil their own version. But what makes them different from the likes of McDonald’s and Wendy’s? Well, according to Taco Bell, they are made with marinated chicken breast, where the flavoring of the marinate is Jalapeño buttermilk, so expect the spice to stay in every bite. To make things more exciting, customers can choose to dip their Chicken Nuggets in three sauces:
- Jalapeño Honey Mustard – Combines spicy jalapeño with honey and mustard for a sweet and tangy taste.
- Taco Bell’s Bell Sauce – Smokey tangy sauce with hints of chili peppers.
- Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Sauce (New)
Taco Bell’s Chicken Nuggets is best paired with Nacho Fries as they’re coming back once again in a value meal with the nuggets.
While we’re excited to taste these fiery new releases, there are more Taco Bell releases that are on the watch as per the Live Más LIVE event in February. Check out these menu items that might look familiar to you:
- Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie – Inspired by Taco Bell’s very own Mountain Dew Baja Blast drink, the pie is said to have a smooth texture with buttery curd and hints of lime flavors.
- Churro Chiller Shakes – With available flavors of Sweet Vanilla, Mexican Chocolate, Dulce de Leche, and Wild Strawberries.
- Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights – Mini fried donuts with Dulce de Leche filling inside. This was inspired by the chain’s Cinnabon Delights dessert.

From The Club
I could really feel the December air and holiday season with these new releases that are making their way on our favorite chains’ menu items. I’m mostly excited to bite on Bonchon’s MoPo Corn Dog as someone who loves cheese-pulling from the mozzarella cheeses found on corndogs. I would also love to have KFC’s Buckets of Joy with their cute Christmas-themed designs by Yeye Waller. As for Taco Bell, I’d love to have a bite of those spicy jalapeño Chicken Nuggets! We all deserve these treats after working hard for the whole year!
