Reese’s is back, baby! Following the remarkable success of the 2024 ad from last year, the #1 candy brand in the US will triumphantly return to the Big Matchup with even more humor and creativity. The anticipation from fans and consumers is palpable as Reese’s promises to deliver another unforgettable comedic experience that will resonate with audiences nationwide.
Last year’s commercial had the internet buzzing and snack aisles emptying. The ad, which aired during the most-viewed Big Game ever, garnered millions of views across social platforms and sparked a viral debate, ultimately leaving fans screaming ‘YES’ for the new Reese’s Caramel Big Cup. The campaign earned critical acclaim, ranking #2 in Kantar’s League Table and System 1’s rankings, and received an A+ from the Kellogg School of Management list. Building off the success of Reese’s Caramel Big Cup as the #1 CPG innovation of 2024, Reese’s is cranking up the fun once again. This year’s spot is set to deliver something so rich, so decadent, it’s bound to erupt with excitement. Because the only thing better than one Reese's ad on Game Day is having Reese's ads two years in a row.
“The positive reception of our 2024 ad from customers and consumers helped generate great commercial success for the brand and Reese’s Caramel Big Cups. For 2025, we knew we had to go bigger and bolder,” said Ryan Riess, vice president of brand strategy and creative development, The Hershey Company. “If last year’s spot taught us anything, it’s that people want more Reese’s in their lives. So, here we are – back for round two!”
The 30-second spot, created by Erich & Kallman, will feature Reese’s signature wit, a few surprises, and of course, that iconic peanut butter and chocolate combo that’s always game-day ready.
