“Shrek” Is Bringing Far Far Away to BoxLunch With New Collection and Special Events!

It’s been quite some time since audiences last took a trip to the kingdom of Far Far Away, but with Shrek 5 finally making its way to theaters next summer, it looks like the beloved DreamWorks franchise is getting ready to step back into the spotlight.

And while we still have a little longer to wait before Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and the rest of the gang return to the big screen, fans now have another way to celebrate the world of everyone’s favorite ogre.

BoxLunch has officially teamed up with Universal to introduce an exclusive Shrek Far Far Away Collection, bringing the familiar characters and world of the animated franchise to a new assortment of merchandise available both online and in stores across the United States.

But the collection isn’t the only thing arriving as part of the celebration.

To mark the launch, BoxLunch is also hosting a series of special in-store events designed to bring a little of Shrek’s world into the real one, complete with themed activities, photo opportunities and a few surprises for fans.

Among the experiences is Shrek’s Swamp, a themed photo booth where visitors can capture their own memories inspired by the iconic home of the green ogre. And at select locations, including Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, California, and Memorial City Mall in Houston, Texas, fans can also visit Fiona’s Flower Cart to create their own bouquets.

The first round of events took place October 24 and 25 at Westfield Fashion Square and Florida Mall in Orlando, Florida. Additional celebrations are scheduled for November 7 and 8 at Memorial City Mall and American Dream in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

And with Halloween right around the corner, there is another reason for fans to get into character.

During the special two-day events, guests who arrive dressed as a character from Shrek can receive 30% off Shrek merchandise. The same discount will also be offered at BoxLunch stores nationwide on October 31, giving fans another opportunity to celebrate the franchise in costume.

But perhaps one of the more unusual additions to the festivities is a nationwide Golden Onion Search.

On Halloween, every BoxLunch location across the United States will have a hidden Golden Onion waiting to be discovered. The first person to find it at each store will get to keep the special prize and receive a $25 BoxLunch gift card.

Fans who purchase merchandise from the new Shrek collection can also receive one of five exclusive Far Far Away postcards while supplies last.

With the next film arriving in June 2027, it’s clear that the world of Shrek is beginning to make its return beyond the screen as well. And considering how much of the franchise’s appeal has always come from its humor, memorable characters and rather unconventional take on fairy tales, bringing those elements into real-world experiences feels like a fitting way to welcome audiences back.

The exclusive Shrek Far Far Away Collection is available now at BoxLunch stores nationwide and through BoxLunch.com, with additional in-store celebrations continuing into November.

Shrek 5 is scheduled to arrive in theaters worldwide in June 2027.
