Fresh Del Monte will have holiday inspired tags on bananas and pineapples, and promotional packaging will be used for Del Monte bananas and Gold and Honeyglow pineapples , according to a news release.

The company has a new video campaign for the Del Monte Gold pineapple, filmed at its Carbon Neutral certified farm in Costa Rica.

“We have so much exciting news to share with our consumers this holiday season,” Pablo Rivero, vice president of marketing, said in the release. “It is our greatest joy to be able to embrace the holiday spirit by updating our packaging in such a uniquely festive way, and to highlight our sustainable pineapple program this year.”
