Grab a fork and enjoy a bowl for National Mac and Cheese Day.

From blue boxes to grandma’s recipe, National Mac and Cheese Day celebrates all versions of the iconic comfort food. While Mac and Cheese can be both simple and complex, that dish has wide appeal. From a child’s favorite meal to an adult’s ultimate indulgence, a bowl of cheese and pasta can bring big smiles.

July 14 is National Mac and Cheese Day. While people do not necessarily need a food holiday to celebrate that cheesy pasta goodness, it is a good reason for many brands to mark the occasion with special events. Let’s grab a fork and dig into a bowl or two.

Here’s a few ways to celebrate National Mac and Cheese Day.

VELVEETA Shells & Cheese

For some people, that Liquid Gold is irresistible and this year a few people have even more reason to enjoy some today. Shouldn’t it be time to celebrate the “shells” of the world?

If you are a Sheldon, Shelly or some version of a “Shell,” you could have chance to win a free box of creamy VELVEETA Shells & Cheese. Check out VELEVEETA’s Twitter feed for all the details. But you might want to hurry, only 1,000 freebies are available.

Stouffer’s

After the big launch of the Mac and Cheese on Tap promotion, Stouffer’s is back with another irresistible giveaway for National Mac and Cheese Day.

Today on Stouffers’ twitter account, 10 lucky people will receive an assortment of Stouffers treats. Check out the Twitter account for all the details.

Baby Shark Mac and Cheese at Walmart

While that Baby Shark song is pretty cheesy, the Baby Shark Mac and Cheese at Walmart is even cheesier. Available exclusively at Walmart, this Mac and Cheese brings some “fin” fun to the table. Plus each box has an activity to do while the Mac and Cheese is cooking.

At just 50 cents a box, it is definitely worth buying at least one box. Although, you might have that song stuck in your head longer than it takes to eat dinner. The Baby Shark Mac and Cheese will be available starting the week of July 27.

These ideas are just a couple of options for National Mac and Cheese Day. Whether you make grandma’s recipe, head to Noodles and Company or enjoy another version of Mac and Cheese, the food holiday is a reason to celebrate this comfort food.
