While Thanksgiving tables are full of love and gratitude there are always a few side dishes everyone expects - but not everyone likes. This year, JELL-O is offering a new colorful twist.

The new “No Thanks” Thanksgiving molds build on that heritage in a modern, timely way at a moment when playful, nostalgic formats are returning to the spotlight and consumers are seeking fresh takes on familiar dishes.
