KFC Canada offering vinyl record of holiday tunes as the top of its iconic bucket of chicken

KFC Canada wants you to listen to the lid of its iconic bucket this holiday season.

The famed fried chicken restaurant is offering a limited-edition bucket lid that doubles as a vinyl record with four classic holiday instrumentals — We Wish you a Merry Christmas, Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and The Twelve Days of Christmas — alongside the sounds of chicken frying, finger licking, paper wrapping and 11 herbs and spices, depending on the tune.

Between Dec. 9 and 16, fans of the fried chicken will have a chance to receive a copy of this festive collectable through a random draw. People interested can comment on the Kentucky Fried Carols post at KFC Canada’s Instagram account and tagging a friend.

“You’ll be surprised how soothing the sound of chicken frying is when layered into a classic holiday carol,” says Dhaval Bhatt, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Toronto’s Courage Inc., who produced the Kentucky Fried Carols record.

“This is an ultra limited edition which is sure to become a collectible.”

KFC Canada’s marketing manager Jordan Sequeira said in a statement that it’s been 55 years since the company released a Christmas album with RCA records.

“In a digital age, people gravitate to all things analog,” Sequeira said. “The nostalgia takes you back to what’s important for the holidays — coming together with family. And what better way than with good food and classic music. A KFC bucket with a lid that’s a record was an obvious answer.”
