Everyone has a comfort show. For some, it’s the soothing (and slightly menacing) sound of Succession that lulls them to sleep. For others, it’s classics like Gilmore Girls or The Bear. But for millions of fans, comfort TV means one thing: The Office.
The hit NBC sitcom — starring Steve Carell as the zany boss of a small paper branch in Scranton, Pennsylvania — premiered in March 2005 and wrapped up in May 2013. To celebrate 20 years since the show first hit our screens (and brought us Jim, Pam, Dwight, and a whole lot of “bears, beets, and Battle Star Gallactica”), HelloFresh is teaming up with The Office to release three limited-edition, themed meal kits inspired by the series.

These special “The Office Eats” kits, as the brand calls them, are available this week (Oct. 27) and are marketed exclusively to HelloFresh subscribers. Each kit is priced at $24.99 with free shipping and includes two servings. For context, HelloFresh meals typically start at around $9.99 per serving, and the company regularly offers promo codes and discounts.
So, what’s on the menu for The Office fans? Here are the highlights.

Pretzel Day Kit
$24.99

Unlike the other meal kits, this one is available through the rest of October, so you still have another week to snag it before you have to wait “364 days until the next Pretzel Day.”
Everyone remembers Pretzel Day — the one moment a year Stanley found true joy, sprinting to the front of the line to load up his pretzel with every topping offered. Now you can do the same at home with a kit that includes everything you need to make a Stanley-approved pretzel — no coworkers to battle required.

Kevin Malone’s Famous Chili
$24.99

Then, of course, we have Kevin’s famous chili. A Malone family recipe, this concoction was spilled all over the office floor in Season 5 during the Casual Friday episode, when Kevin dropped to his knees — oven mitts and all — to try and salvage what was left.
The moment has become a viral fan favorite for years, endlessly memed and turned into everything from T-shirts to golf ball markers. Now you can try making it yourself at home — just hold on tight to the pot.

Michael Scott’s Fun Run Alfredo
$24.99

Rounding out the trio is Michael Scott’s fettuccine alfredo — the same meal he devoured before running the “Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure.”
While Michael spent the final half of the race dry heaving on the side of the road, you can enjoy this one stress-free. Pro tip: pair it with a crisp beer like Stanley, Creed, and Oscar would, and skip the jog.
“The Officeis packed with unforgettable food scenes, so our goal was to blend culinary creativity with pop culture to bring these dishes from the screen straight to the dinner table,” said Michelle Doll Olson, Senior Culinary Development Manager at HelloFresh, in a release. “As long-time fans, we wanted to stay true to what made these dishes so memorable on the show, while ensuring they’re just as enjoyable to cook and eat at home!”
These limited-edition “Office Eats” kits are available now, but only for a short time. So sign up for HelloFresh and host your own Dinner Party — just try not to let your unstable girlfriend throw a Dundee through your flat-screen TV. At under $30 per kit, we can’t think of a better way to spend your “salary plus benefits, babe!”
