Treasury Wine Estates’ wine brand Blossom Hill has announced it will return to TV screens for the first time in four years through a partnership with Comedy Central.

This winter, the brand will team up with Comedy Central, where viewers can enter an exclusive competition to win tickets to the iconic Comedy Central's FRIENDSFESTIVE event.


Attendees will also be able to enjoy a glass of Blossom Hill at The Comedy Central Bar as the exclusive Wine partner and Bar sponsor, whilst Blossom Hill branding will be visible across the site. In addition, Blossom Hill will hit TV screens with a ticket competition advert, reaching over 5 million consumers.

Comedy Central’s FRIENDSFESTIVE event will run in two locations across the UK this festive season; Blackpool Winter Gardens: 5th – 19th November and London Truman Brewery: 25th November – 19th December, December, where fans of FRIENDS can recreate some of the most iconic Christmas moments from the hit TV show.

“This partnership with Comedy Central fits perfectly with our Blossom Hill brand aligning with our core audiences. As the #1 wine choice for refreshment, Blossom Hill is ideal to enjoy at the ultimate Comedy Central's FRIENDSFESTIVE event,” Ben Blake, marketing director, EMEA at Treasury Wine Estates, said.

“The Comedy Central partnership will help us to continue building momentum for the brand whilst maintaining relevancy amongst our key audiences, especially over the festive season – a time for gathering with friends and creating memorable moments.”

The Blossom Hill brand has recently unveiled a pack refresh across its Rosé varietals and is now moving on to updating the packaging across its classics range, available from 1 November. The brand said the packs saw significant improvement in likeability and purchase intent in consumer testing.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
