Get Ready to Spread Joy This Holiday Season With Hidden Valley Ranch’s “Ranch On a Branch”

By Heather Taylor, Advertising Week
You’ve heard of Elf On a Shelf but what do you know about the Ranch On a Branch? Hidden Valley Ranch is welcoming the holiday season with the launch of “Ranch On a Branch” — a limited-edition collectible boxed set featuring a plushie named Ranchie and a storybook companion sharing his big dream.
What Is a Ranch On a Branch?

Great question! The Ranch On a Branch goes by the name Ranchie. He’s more than a cute little friend who wants to brighten your day. Ranchie knows he’s a bottle on a branch but he dreams of one day becoming a bottle of real Hidden Valley Ranch.
The magic of the holiday season is showcased throughout the Hidden Valley Ranch story. By spreading little acts of joy and lifting up the lives of others, you can, indeed, transform Ranchie turn into a real bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch.

If you purchase the collectible, you’re encouraged to move Ranchie to a new spot each day. A tree branch today, a pantry shelf tomorrow, a spot on the windowsill the day afterward. Ranchie’s movement will remind you to continue spreading joy to people and animals in your life.
