As inflation continues into 2025, many consumers may find themselves at a loss for what to do for Valentine’s Day on a budget. One QSR is back with an annual tradition that helps customers enjoy the holiday at home (with Sliders, of course).

This week White Castle announced the return of its “Love Kit” to help customers celebrate the February holiday regardless of how far they live from an actual White Castle location.

The Love Kit, which launched for the first time in 2024, has been beefed up for the new year.  Serving up to five people, it contains 20 frozen Sliders: eight Classic Cheese Sliders, six Original Sliders and six Jalapeño Cheese Sliders. It also comes with one pouch of pickles, 10 Strawberry Cheesecake Desserts-on-a-Stick and VIP coupons redeemable for up to 12 Sliders post-Valentine’s Day.

“We were told to 'think outside of the box,' and the team did a masterful job filling this box with enticing menu items," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle in the announcement. "Whether you live two blocks or 2,000 miles away from a Castle, the Love Kit lets you celebrate Valentine's Day … without leaving the comfort of your home."

The limited edition Love Kit is available for $99 at the brand’s fan store at www.HouseofCrave.com.

White Castle has been transforming its restaurant dining rooms on Valentines Day into “Love Castles” since 1991. On Feb. 14, over 300 locations will feature reservation-only seating, themed decorations, hostesses and tableside service. Reservations are now open for this year at OpenTable.

Members of the brand’s loyalty program, Craver Nation, also receive additional discounts in honor of the romantic holiday. On Feb. 14 members will receive a BOGO free dessert-on-a-stick, BOGO free French Toast Sliders now through April 20, and BOGO free Breakfast Sliders Feb. 1-28. If Craver nation members place an in-store order on Valentine’s Day itself, they will a BOGO free Combo reward.
