Actor Glen Powell is shaking up post-Thanksgiving traditions with a special condiment that brings a fresh twist to leftover sandwiches: Glen Powell cranberry mayo. Released just in time for the holiday through his Smash Kitchen brand, this festive spread promises to enhance leftover turkey and more, keeping the Thanksgiving celebration going in homes like the Powell family’s in Austin.
A Fresh Approach to Holiday Leftovers
Although classic holiday dishes are typically enjoyed during Thursday’s dinner, many agree the real treat is the leftover sandwich constructed the following day. Glen Powell, known for his role in “The Running Man,” took this tradition a step further by developing his unique cranberry mayo, now added to the Smash Kitchen lineup alongside staples like BBQ, yellow mustard, and hot honey ketchup.
The new cranberry mayo features organic mayonnaise blended with tart cranberries, designed either as a spread for sandwiches or a flavorful dip at holiday gatherings. The launch of this product was purposefully timed for Thanksgiving, allowing families to upgrade their leftover experience.
Powell Family Traditions Centered on Togetherness
Cyndy Powell, Glen’s mother, emphasizes the family’s deep commitment to making the most of their Thanksgiving leftovers.
“Thanksgiving basically has two parts: dinner, and then the main event is preparing leftovers the day after,”
Cyndy Powell said. This year, she’s planning to boost the flavor of her sandwich using Smash Kitchen’s new Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil in addition to the cranberry mayo. Their tradition is a cherished part of the festivities, celebrated with care in their Austin home.
Despite a busy career, Glen Powell prioritizes spending the holidays with family.
“We’re all planning to be together at home in Austin, which feels extra special these days,”
Cyndy Powell added. The star of “Anyone But You” remains hands-on in the kitchen and loves connecting with his young niece and nephew, embracing every aspect of family time.
“Being an uncle is his favorite job, so he definitely leans into playing with the kiddos. He loves taking advantage of his time at home to really embrace family time.”
Cyndy Powell remarked, highlighting his enthusiasm for both family and festive food traditions.
Smash Kitchen Cranberry Mayo: A Game Changer
As the holiday approaches, Glen Powell even arranged for others to sample the new Organic Cranberry Mayo, treating them to sandwiches that showcase the condiment’s vibrant flavor. For those who are not usually fans of mayonnaise, this blend might be a revelation. The combination seeks to capture the essence of classic cranberry sauce—tangy, sweet, and fresh—while delivering the creamy convenience of a spread.
The cranberry mayo easily transforms an ordinary turkey sandwich into something worthy of a special holiday meal, evoking the warm nostalgia of past holiday dinners. Its versatility also extends beyond sandwiches, serving as a unique, flavorful dip for party snacks and sides. Even skeptics found themselves surprised by how well it works as an all-purpose condiment for the Thanksgiving season.
For anyone seeking to elevate their leftovers or add an eye-catching dip to their gathering, Smash Kitchen’s Organic Cranberry Mayo stands out as a must-try for this year’s festivities.
Recreating Glen Powell’s Ultimate Leftover Sandwich
The secret to Glen Powell’s preferred Thanksgiving sandwich comes directly from his mother, often affectionately called Mama Powell. To craft his favorite version, she recommends starting with the basics: stuffing, turkey, sweet potatoes, and green beans.
“He loves the sauce just as much as the dish, so you can count on him to add a little extra,”
Mama Powell insists. A generous spread of cranberry mayo finishes the creation, giving it the perfect blend of flavors and textures.
For those inspired by Glen Powell’s holiday enthusiasm, keeping a jar of the cranberry mayo in the refrigerator ensures you can enjoy upgraded leftovers—and perhaps add a festive twist to your snacks and party dips well after Thanksgiving. The blend represents more than a condiment; it’s part of the larger spirit of sharing and celebration that marks the Powell family’s approach to the holidays.
Building New Traditions with a Celebrity Twist
With Glen Powell and Smash Kitchen leading the way, Thanksgiving leftovers are being reimagined from simple reheated meals to memorable events in their own right. The cranberry mayo captures the joy and vibrance of the holiday, inviting everyone to create new memories around the family table. As the holiday season continues, this inventive spread may well become a staple in households eager to savor every delicious detail of Thanksgiving.
