KFC is also bringing back its Personal Pot Pie.
In addition to these new and returning menu items, KFC is launching a brand campaign called Cluck Turkey. This "smear campaign" calls on consumers to ditch turkey and embrace chicken with KFC.

"For us, it's about comfort, connection, and craveable food. The Extra Crispy Festive Feast and our first-ever Gravy Flight are designed to bring that joy back to the holiday table — at a price that brings everyone to the table, because the holidays should taste as good as they feel."
