A Giant milestone: Honoring 100 years of bringing people together.
FAIRPORT, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This Thanksgiving, Green Giant®, the iconic canned vegetable brand, proudly celebrates its 100th anniversary by partnering with Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dench — the duo whose heartwarming Thanksgiving tradition began by chance with a simple text and inspired millions. To mark the occasion, Green Giant® is hosting Jamal and Wanda's 10th Thanksgiving together, complete with their favorite holiday recipes made with Green Giant® canned vegetables.
Green Giant's canned vegetable products began in 1925 in the Minnesota River Valley, with a mission to bring quality vegetables to American families. The name comes from the company's introduction of the large, sweet "Green Giant Great Big Tender Peas" that same year. Over the last century, Green Giant® farmers and researchers have led the way in innovation, offering new vegetable varieties and perfectly steamed canned corn, that have become pantry staples across generations.
In 2025, Green Giant® celebrates 100 years of nourishing families with wholesome, USA-grown canned vegetables – continuing a tradition of quality and togetherness.
"Wanda and I are thrilled to celebrate our 10th Thanksgiving together, and partnering with Green Giant® makes it even more special," said Jamal Hinton. "Green Giant® has been part of so many holiday traditions, and we're excited to make new memories with their vegetables at our table."
"I am so grateful we're able to continue to get together. I can't believe it's been 10 years since that mistaken text," said Wanda Dench. "For us, the holidays are all about connections and making memories. Sharing our 10th year – alongside Green Giant's® 100th anniversary – makes this year feel especially meaningful."
Join Green Giant®, Jamal, and Wanda this Thanksgiving as they honor the power of connection, good food, and unforgettable memories.
