Envy apples partners with Hallmark Channel's Andrew Walker

Envy apples says it is partnering with Hallmark Channel star Andrew Walker this holiday season to share his favorite apple with fans at the inaugural Hallmark Christmas Experience, a monthlong immersive event near Hallmark’s headquarters in Kansas City.

During the second weekend of the Hallmark Christmas Experience, Walker will be available to greet guests at the Envy sampling pop-up at select times Dec. 6-8, according to a news release. Visitors can receive complimentary Envy apples and enter to win daily prizes curated especially for "Hallmarkies" to elevate their at-home Hallmark movie nights this holiday season, the company said.

“Envy apples are a cherished part of my family’s holiday traditions,” Walker said.

Known for their balanced sweetness, crisp texture and floral aroma, Envy apples are Walker's go-to ingredient for effortless holiday entertaining, the release said; one of his family’s favorite dishes is Wintery Envy Baked Brie — a comforting blend of melted brie, cherry preserves, crushed pistachios and fresh slices of Envy apples to spoon up this sweet and savory delight.

Envy apples remain one of the top-selling premium apple brands in the U.S., according to Nielsen data for the Washington season ending June 2024, the release said. More information about Envy apples and holiday recipes is available at holidayswithenvy.com.
