Turkey brand Butterball is announcing its partnership with chef-focused brand Hedley & Bennett to create the first-ever, custom-designed Thanksgiving Hosting Pants.

According to the Butterball Togetherness Report: 2025 Thanksgiving Outlook, nearly a quarter of all holiday hosts feel that cooking a turkey is intimidating, including 37% of millennial hosts. Additionally, 24% want everything to be perfect, and 18% try to have fun, but get caught up in holiday hosting tasks. Most alarming, 5% would rather stand in line at the DMV for their REAL IDs than host Thanksgiving this year.

However, 68% of hosts agreed that wearing the right clothes helps them feel ready, capable and comfortable for the task at hand. On Nov. 10 and 17, 2025, holiday hosts can visit www.ThanksgivingHostingPants.com to order their free pair of Thanksgiving Hosting Pants, while supplies last.

The pants are designed in Butterball blue and feature a turkey-inspired print. Key features include a pocket for a meat thermometer, a phone pocket, a towel loop, additional loops for kitchen utensils, a bottle opener and a collection of iron-on patches.

"Thanksgiving can be intimidating, especially if you're the one in the kitchen responsible for putting a perfectly golden-brown turkey on the table," said Christa Leupen, director of purpose and consumer communication at Butterball. "We've made tender, juicy turkeys for more than 70 years; our Talk-Line experts have answered millions of questions; and this year, we're thrilled to help hosts find confidence and comfort in these fun and functional Thanksgiving Hosting Pants, inspiring a little swagger in the kitchen."

"Hedley & Bennett has been on a mission since 2012 to inspire and empower creativity and confidence in the kitchen by making the hardest working, best-looking aprons and kitchen gear in the world," said Ellen Bennett, founder and chief brand officer of Hedley & Bennett. "We know that the gear you wear can make you look and feel the part, whether you're a head chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant or roasting the Thanksgiving turkey for the first time, and we're delighted to help holiday hosts reclaim the joys of cooking and gathering this holiday season."
