The Iconic Pretzel Brand Turns Snack Time Into Play Time with New Cat-Tastic Kids Meal, Complete with Gabby's Dollhouse Headband

ATLANTA, August 5, 2026 – Auntie Anne's®, the beloved destination for freshly baked, hand-rolled soft pretzels, is making snack time even more magical this back-to-school season. Starting August 5 through September 30, the brand is teaming up with DreamWorks Animation’s Gabby's Dollhouse, one of the most popular children's franchises on Netflix, to launch its first ever Kids Meal. The ultimate snack must-have for Gabby’s Dollhouse fans will be available starting at $6.99 exclusively at participating mall and outlet locations nationwide while supplies last.
The Cat-Tastic Kids Meal introduces a brand-new pretzel experience for families, bringing together the fresh-baked magic of Auntie Anne's pretzel nuggets and the imaginative world of Gabby's Dollhouse in one irresistible package. The limited-edition meal comes in a specially designed Gabby's Dollhouse-inspired box and includes a small order of Pretzel Nuggets, a small drink, a dip, and a Gabby’s Dollhouse Headband. Kids can choose from four Pretzel Nugget options: Original, Pepperoni, Mini Pretzel Dogs, or new limited-time Mozzarella Stuffed Pretzel Nuggets, paired with their choice of dip: Cheese, Marinara, Honey Mustard, Hidden Valley™ Ranch, or Hot Salsa Cheese.
"This collaboration reflects exactly the kind of experience we strive to create for families at Auntie Anne's — one that goes beyond the snack and taps into something truly special," said Nathan Baldwin, Chief Brand Officer at Auntie Anne's. "Gabby's Dollhouse has an incredibly passionate fanbase, and we're proud to bring these two beloved brands together in a way that makes every back-to-school mall visit a little more memorable.”
