Kerrygold Augmented Reality Christmas Star

The Brief & Background

Christmas is a key consumption moment for Kerrygold—a time when people come together and the brand’s iconic gold packaging graces dinner tables around the world.

Kerrygold’s advertising has always celebrated the joy of togetherness and the simple pleasures of sharing a home-cooked meal.

The latest campaign builds on this tradition, emphasizing that life’s simplest moments are often the most meaningful—and that Kerrygold has the power to make them even more memorable.

To extend this idea the Kerrygold brand and packaging teams partnered with Return2Sender to explore how augmented reality could add a touch of magic (and encourage purchase).

The result was the Kerrygold Christmas Star — an Instagram filter that transformed the brand’s iconic packaging into a shimmering 3D gold star. Shoppers could place this star into any festive scene and share it for a chance to win.
