KFC is giving away vinyl records as a way to drum up business throughout the holiday season. Coming into 2024, vinyl record sales had been on an upswing even overtaking CDs for most sales at one point. Recent trends show the two might be nearly neck-and-neck once again, but that hasn’t stopped KFC from using vinyl records to get people excited about its buckets of chicken. In a social media-based promotion unveiled this week, KFC announced it is giving away bucket toppers that double as playable vinyl records. Each record contains a collection of Kentucky Fried Carols including “Jingle Bells,” “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” and “Deck The Halls.” The record is actually printed on paper lids like the ones you’d find on its buckets of chicken. The lids were then covered in a vinyl coating and etched to create the a playable record. Currently the records are only available to Canadian residents.
