With Christmas fast approaching and all those holiday parties to plan, food is on everyone’s radar. Or at least it seems that way based on Facebook’s most-shared brand posts from last week. Betty Crocker and Pillsbury showed off festive recipes, Amazon announced its new grab-and-go grocery store and Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts showed off new Dunkin’ Donuts-inspired flavors.
