For more than 30 years, Lunchables Pizza has famously been enjoyed cold — just unbox, top and eat. However, fans have increasingly been heating up their pizzas at home and taking to social media to debate which way is best. Today, more than a third of fans now say they are opting to enjoy their Lunchables Pizza warm.¹ The Lunchables Pizza Grill turns that fan behavior into part of the fun: unpack, build your pizzas, light the fire and let them sizzle for a warm, melty take on the classic. Custom designed to fit all three pizzas in a pack, the Lunchables Pizza Grill is letting fans decide once and for all whether they’re Team Hot or Team Cold.
“Lunchables has always given fans the freedom to mix, match and make mealtime their own,” said Brittany Piszynski, Director of Marketing for Lunchables. “When we saw fans putting their own spin on our beloved Lunchables Pizza varieties and sparking a spirited debate on social media over the best way to enjoy them — hot vs. cold — we knew we had to get in on the fun. The Lunchables Pizza Grill celebrates the creativity fans already bring to a longtime favorite, while giving them a delicious new way that’s engineered to put their preferences to the ultimate test.”
As the lunchtime legend for decades, Lunchables brings adults and kids alike so many ways to enjoy mealtime with real, delicious food — from Cracker Stackers and Pizza to Nachos and more. The Lunchables Pizza Grill brings that same customizable spirit to one of the brand’s most iconic offerings, delivering another way for fans to enjoy the OG meal you never outgrow.
The limited-edition Lunchables Pizza Grill will be available on Walmart.com in October while supplies last. Every purchase will also include a coupon for one free Lunchables Pizza pack, giving fans everything they need to celebrate National Pizza Month their way.

MONTRÉAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 29, 2026--
FlightHub ™, a leading North American online travel agency, has released the third edition of its Unveiled list, revealing where travellers are going in 2026 . Drawing on booking data from October 2025 to August 2026, compared with the same period the previous year, this year’s report highlights destination shakeups, generational divides, and the impact of major global events. From shifting travel habits to emerging destinations around the world, the data offers a snapshot of how travel is evolving across Canada.

“2026 has been a transformative year for travel, with major events both at home and internationally,” says Henri Chelhot, CEO of FlightHub. “This year’s data gives us a unique snapshot of how Canadians travelled during the year, and we’ll be watching to see whether these patterns continue into 2027.”
New Hotspots Are Taking Off
Casablanca, Morocco emerges as the breakout destination of the year, with a dramatic 250 per cent increase in bookings compared to 2025. Other destinations saw significant growth, including Liberia, Costa Rica (145%), Aruba (118%), and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (109%).
Hanoi, Vietnam, is also one to watch, with bookings accelerating 98 per cent year over year. Meanwhile, Las Vegas, U.S. is stabilizing after a 40 per cent slump last year, with bookings up 1.3 per cent in 2026.
And the Top Destinations Go To…
Delhi, India is the most popular international destination for Canadians, climbing one spot to dethrone last year’s number one, Tokyo, Japan, now in second. London, U.K., Cancún, Mexico and Paris, France round out the rest of the Top 5, followed by Manila, Philippines, Lisbon, Portugal, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Hong Kong and Rome, Italy.
Closer to home, Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal and Calgary stay in the Top 4 inbound Canadian destinations, respectively.
But growth doesn’t tell the whole destination story. Among Canadians’ most popular international destinations, there was also a changing of the guard at the top.
Big Events, Big Travel
Host cities all saw real travel increases during this spring’s soccer tournament.
Vancouver saw a 34 per cent increase compared to last year, whereas Toronto experienced an 18 per cent increase. U.S. host cities also saw increases, including Kansas City (165%), Boston (78%) and New York/New Jersey (24%). For Canadian travellers, tournament travel was overwhelmingly domestic, with travellers largely moving between Canadian cities rather than crossing the border. Interestingly, there were no specific spikes around individual matches, with travel instead building steadily throughout the tournament.
Beyond soccer, Montréal saw a 32 per cent increase in travel around the Canadian Grand Prix from last year, while the Las Vegas Grand Prix saw a 22 per cent decrease. Meanwhile, the Winter Olympics in Milan/Cortina saw a 243 per cent surge compared to last year.
Where travellers went was also shaped by what was happening when they got there.
The Generational Divide
Gen Z gained the most share among generations in both markets, gaining 3.1 percentage points in Canada and 4.2 percentage points in the U.S. Millennials saw slight declines, falling 0.7 percentage points in Canada and 0.5 percentage points in the U.S., while Gen X dropped 0.8 and 1.9 points, respectively. Boomers are also pulling back, falling 1.4 points in Canada and 1.7 in the U.S.
“What makes Unveiled valuable is the bigger picture that emerges when we look at these trends together,” says Ayoub Hissar, Director of Communications at FlightHub. “Where travellers are going is only part of the story. What influences their decisions and how those behaviours change over time can tell us a lot about what travellers are looking for.”
The Canada-U.S. Corridor
Search interest in travel between Canada and the U.S. increased in both directions, though growth was stronger among U.S. travellers looking to Canada:
À la Québécoise
Québec travellers show some distinct travel patterns compared to the rest of Canada, including taking longer trips, averaging around 11 days compared to seven days for other Canadian travellers. They also tend to travel more in July and December, driven in part by Québec’s Construction Holidays.
“It’s been another busy year for FlightHub and the overall travel sector, and Unveiled really showcases some interesting trends,” said Ayoub Hissar, Director of Communications at FlightHub. “It will be fascinating to look back at this data in 12 months’ time to see if it is a marked change.”
Looking ahead, FlightHub is also using this year’s Unveiled to spotlight 10 worldwide destinations it recommends travellers have on their radar. To explore the full list and more findings from this year’s Unveiled report , visit: https://unveiled.flighthub.com/
