HelloFresh is tapping into a major summer lifestyle trend: Canadians want to spend less time grocery shopping and meal planning and more time enjoying road trips, cottages, outdoor activities and time with family and friends.

More Dock Time: Skip the stress, and spend that time where it counts, by the water, with friends and family.

This summer, HelloFresh is meeting Canadians exactly where summer happens.

To kick off the season, HelloFresh is launching the “Taste of Summer” campaign with the HelloFresh Big Green Fridge Tour, bringing fresh meals, seasonal ingredients and summer inspiration directly to travellers at some of Ontario’s busiest ONroute locations.

The activation is built around a relatable seasonal insight. During summer, Canadians are constantly on the move and meal planning often becomes an afterthought. Whether it is heading to cottage country, spending the day outdoors or taking a weekend road trip, HelloFresh is showing up at the exact moment convenience matters most.

At the centre of the activation is the iconic HelloFresh Big Green Fridge, a recognizable brand symbol that travellers will encounter in high traffic ONroute environments during peak summer travel weekends.

At each stop, consumers will:
• Encounter the Big Green Fridge activation
• Receive FREE Taste of Summer meals
