PS Seasoning Launches Limited-Edition Gingerbread BBQ Rub and Holiday Turkey Brine Kit

"Newstalgic" flavor blends holiday comfort with modern BBQ, while all-in-one turkey kits simplify Thanksgiving prep

IRON RIDGE, Wis., Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday season, PS Seasoning is unwrapping a nostalgic flavor with a bold new twist. The limited-edition Gingerbread BBQ Rub blends the familiar comfort of holiday cookies with the savory punch of backyard BBQ. Launching alongside the brand's returning customer-favorite Turkey Brine Kits, the two seasonal offerings are designed to bring festive flair—and flavor—to holiday tables.

Gingerbread BBQ Rub is part of a growing "newstalgia" trend—where traditional flavors are reimagined in fresh, unexpected ways. According to 2025 flavor forecasts, nostalgic and comforting foods are driving consumer interest, but with a modern edge. PS Seasoning's latest release hits that sweet spot balancing culinary creativity and flavor mastery: brown sugar, cinnamon, molasses, and vanilla collide with ancho chili and smoky undertones, delivering a savory-sweet crust that's both familiar and surprising.

"Everyone has a gingerbread memory—ours just happens to include ribs," said Yash Burgula, Director of Innovation and Development at PS Seasoning. "Our team wanted to reintroduce a classic flavor in a bold, exciting way—pairing smoky heat with nostalgic sweetness. It's all about comfort, warmth, and a little fun—that emotional connection that turns a meal into a memory."

Also returning this season is PS Seasoning's all-in-one Turkey Brine Kit, crafted to take the guesswork out of Thanksgiving prep. The kit includes a butcher-approved brine mix infused with savory herbs and spices, a BPA-free brining bag sized for turkeys up to 18 pounds, and a packet of Cock-a-Doodle Brew Honey Ale Rub. Developed for ease and exceptional results, the kit ensures a moist, flavorful centerpiece worthy of the holiday table.

Together, these seasonal offerings help home cooks embrace the flavors—and the memories—of the holidays with confidence and creativity.
