November flew by, and now we’re in the final stretch of the year!

As we wrap up 2024, we’re thrilled to share some festive cheer with you.

In collaboration with Blaze Partners, we produced the Maine Spirits Holiday commercial—a production we shot just a week before Halloween (yes, our team can channel holiday vibes early). Check out the commercial below.

A question for our Facebook friends:
What is your favorite holiday movie?

At KF - we're big fans of "Christmas Vacation". 🎄 Thomas even dressed up as Cousin Eddie for Halloween one year. 😅 And yes I'll try and find a photo for those interested.
