Kraft Dinner and BeaverTails Team Up for a Nostalgic Summer Collaboration
Summer is shaping up to be a season of creative food partnerships, and the latest one might be the most Canadian yet. Kraft Dinner Canada has joined forces with iconic pastry brand BeaverTails to launch a limited-time menu that blends two beloved comfort food staples in unexpected new ways.
The BeaverDog: A Hot Dog Wrapped in BeaverTails Batter
The first standout item on the KD Takeover menu is the BeaverDog. This dish features an all-beaf hot dog enveloped in BeaverTails’ signature fried pastry batter, then finished with a generous drizzle of creamy Kraft Dinner cheese sauce and a squirt of ketchup. It’s a savory twist that reimagines the classic BeaverTails pastry — typically associated with sweet toppings like cinnamon sugar and chocolate — as a vehicle for a hot dog and mac-and-cheese combo.
KD Takeover Poutine: A Cheesy, Bacon-Topped Indulgence
The second offering takes another deeply Canadian staple and gives it the Kraft Dinner treatment. The KD Takeover Poutine layers crispy bacon and fresh chives over a rich base of creamy KD cheese sauce. It’s a hearty, indulgent dish that leans into the comfort food appeal both brands are known for, merging the satisfying crunch of poutine with the familiar flavor of Canada’s favorite boxed macaroni and cheese.
Limited Time Only — Available Through Early August
Both the BeaverDog and the KD Takeover Poutine are available at participating BeaverTails locations across Canada now through August 9th. Fans of either brand will want to act quickly, as the collaboration is strictly a seasonal affair with no indication of a possible extension.
Kraft Dinner’s Ongoing Culinary Collaborations
The BeaverTails partnership is just the latest in a series of creative collaborations from Kraft Dinner Canada. Earlier, the brand teamed up with five Canadian bakeries — SanRemo Bakery in Toronto, Les Délices Lafrenaie in Montreal, Goodies Bakeshop in Winnipeg, and Calgary’s Ambrosial Cheesecake Shop and The Cheesecake Cafe — to create the KD Mac & Cheesecake. That dessert-meets-comfort-food hybrid features Kraft Dinner’s signature cheese sauce baked into a graham cracker crust and folded into cheesecake batter, blurring the line between sweet and savory in a way that has sparked plenty of conversation.
With these partnerships, Kraft Dinner continues to find new ways to keep its brand relevant and exciting, tapping into Canadian nostalgia while encouraging people to think of KD as more than just a quick weeknight dinner. Whether you’re drawn to the BeaverDog, the poutine, or the cheesecake experiment, there’s no denying that this summer’s collaborations are making comfort food anything but ordinary.
