From reminding your family members that you’re single, to reassuring your grandparents that you still can’t cook, these same convos get old… fast. To keep things easy, breezy, and just a little bit sweet, Baileys and Funny Face Bakery are giving you the perfect (and most delicious) response to those same old questions with the Baileys Swap the Small Talk Pack, a limited-edition collection of cookies for adults 21+ that will do the talking for you, so you can spend less time on small talk and more time indulging.

Meet the Baileys Swap the Small Talk Pack – seven decadent cookies, each infused with the flavor of Baileys Original Irish Cream (non-alcoholic)* and perfect for dunking into festive Baileys cocktails. Each lip-smacking pack of cookies features Funny Face Bakery’s signature iced sugar cookies sporting a cheeky answer to one of the season’s most-asked questions, and some with just a sprinkle of playful shade. Plus, the pack includes two indulgent gooey cookies with flavors inspired by holiday cocktail recipes.

“This year, Baileys is here to make your cookie dunking a little more delicious – and your small talk a lot more bearable. We’ve partnered with Funny Face Bakery to whip up cheeky cookies that say what we’re all really thinking during those delightfully awkward holiday moments,” says Milly Shome, Director of Baileys & Liqueurs, Diageo North America.

The Baileys Swap the Small Talk Pack launches with a digital spot that reimagines classic holiday nostalgia with a dash of sass and a bite of humor, starring actor and podcast host Owen Thiele. With a Baileys cocktail in-hand, Owen serves up cookies and a whole lot of holiday truth, getting down to what the season is really about – indulging and dunking with Baileys.

“Baileys is one of our favorite holiday indulgences, and we are so excited to have created these delectable cookies that are the perfect reminder to treat yourself this holiday season,” shares Olivia Nickel, Head of Growth at Funny Face Bakery. “Our Baileys Hot Cocoa Cookie blends the delicious flavor of Baileys with classic cocoa and toasty marshmallow, and for something even richer, our Baileys Peppermint Mocha Martini Cookie takes inspiration from a Baileys Chocolate Martini recipe, bringing you chocolatey decadence with hints of mint and espresso.”

When asked what you bring to the function, there’s one obvious answer – a bottle of Baileys! Whether you’re feeling a classic like Baileys Original Irish Cream or are in the mood to indulge with Baileys Chocolate, the signature creaminess and notes of cocoa and vanilla create an unforgettable flavor experience when paired with your favorite holiday cookie. And if you’re looking to add something extra special to your holiday get-together, pair your bottle with the Baileys Swap the Small Talk Pack and show your friends the ultimate way to dunk the holidays. To spread even more holiday cheer, the first 25 Swap the Small Talk Pack orders will receive a bonus decorated cookie featuring a special message from Owen Thiele himself.

Baileys is available nationwide for those 21+ wherever spirits-based beverages are sold, and adults 21+ can find the Baileys Swap the Small Talk Pack at Funny Face Bakery’s New York City locations and for nationwide delivery at www.funnyfacebakery.com for $68.00 while supplies last.
