The Mule’s Ultimate Holiday Gift Packs: Because Thoughtful Gifting Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

The holidays are here, and with them comes the annual scramble to prove you care about the people in your life—without overthinking it or blowing your budget. Enter: The Mule’s Holiday Gift Packs, the perfect solution for those who want to give something fun, cool, and a little unexpected. These packs are so good, they’ll think you’ve been planning this for months (don’t worry, we won’t tell).

The Mini Pack

Let’s break it down.

The Mid Pack

The Mini Pack: The Perfect “Oh, I Totally Thought About You” Gift

$30 + HST (Savings: $50)
This one’s for the person who says they don’t want anything but secretly loves being surprised. Inside, you’ll find a Duck Fanny Pack (practical and stylish), a shoe charm to add a little flair to their kicks, a cookbook so they can finally level up from instant noodles, and $10 off Mule or Burro because tacos are better than anything you could cook anyway. It’s small but mighty, just like your effort this holiday season.

The Mid-Pack: For the One Who’s Hard to Impress

$50 + HST (Savings: $80)
Have someone in your life who rolls their eyes at “just another gift card”? This pack has you covered. With a cozy toque to keep their head warm and their ego cooler, a T-shirt that instantly elevates their wardrobe (Alex Leggett or Kyle Stewart, because options are key), TWO shoe charms for maximum personality, and a cookbook to inspire their inner chef, you’re giving them a whole vibe. Plus, they’ll get $20 off at Mule or Burro for when they need a little tequila therapy. It’s thoughtful, stylish, and way cooler than anything they’re expecting.

The Mega Pack: When You Want to Win the Holidays

The Mega Pack!

$70 + HST (Savings: $100)
This is the gift for someone who really deserves the works—or someone you want to impress just a little more this year. The Mega Pack is loaded with everything: a Duck Fanny Pack for all their essentials (and unmentionables), a toque, a T-shirt (choice of artist, naturally), THREE shoe charms for peak accessorizing, a cookbook to up their culinary game, and $30 off Mule or Burro. It’s the ultimate gift that says, “I see you, I know you, and I know you love tacos.”

Why These Packs Are the Ultimate Holiday Hack

Here’s the thing: shopping is hard, and figuring out what people actually want is harder. But with these packs, you’re giving them a mix of style, practicality, and indulgence—all in one convenient bundle. Plus, the savings are so good, you’ll feel like you got a gift too.

So, stop stressing about finding the perfect gift and grab one of these packs instead. It’s the thoughtful-but-effortless move that guarantees you’ll win the holidays—without losing your mind.

Happy gifting,
The Mule Team (Your Holiday Heroes)

PURCHASE IN-STORE AT ANY MULE LOCATION (HAMILTON, LONDON, AND CAMBRIDGE) OR BURRO (BURLINGTON)

NOVEMBER ONLY: The “HOT, HOT DEAL” You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Probably Do)

That's right, folks – it’s the “HOT, HOT DEAL” you've been waiting for (or didn’t know you needed)! Swing by The Mule or Burro this November and feast on this fiery combo:

  • 1 Chips & Dip

  • 3 Tacos

  • 1 Jarritos

All for a hot price that'll make you wonder if it’s 1995 and we’re selling used cars. But hey, who doesn’t want a bargain with a little bit of sizzle? This deal's here for November only, so get it while it's "hot, hot" and, who knows, maybe we’ll throw in a fistful of napkins for free.

New Menu Launch at The Mule Cambridge: You’ll Want to Make That Reso

Today’s the day, folks! The Mule Cambridge has rolled out a new menu, and you’re going to want to cancel any plans that don’t involve stuffing your face here. We know, we know, you’ve already had all the tacos, and you're emotionally attached to your favourites. But trust us, these new dishes are worth cheating on your usual order for—just don’t make it awkward when you come crawling back.

Meet Your New Obsession: The Olden Flame Negroni

We’ve taken the classic Negroni and turned it up to 11 with the Olden Flame Negroni. What’s in it, you ask? Oh, just a little Tanqueray, Lilet Blanc, and Licor 43 smoked into oblivion. It’s sophisticated, a little smoky, and pairs perfectly with pretending you know a lot about cocktails. It's basically an excuse to feel fancy, and we’re here for it.

The Buffalo Fried Chicken: Because You Deserve It

Let’s get real—there’s buffalo chicken, and then there’s Buffalo Fried Chicken. Ours comes with that perfect blend of heat and crispy goodness, drenched in Buffalo sauce, balanced with cabbage, grilled scallion ranch, blue cheese crumble (because we care about you), corn salsa, and cilantro. It’s the kind of dish that’ll make you question why you’ve wasted your life on mediocre wings. But hey, better late than never.

Pork Belly & Chorizo Nachos: They’re Real, and They’re Spectacular

Nachos should be a love language, and we’ve taken it to a whole new level with our Pork Belly & Chorizo Nachos. Seared pork belly and chorizo sausage with cheddar, queso, lime crema, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, green onions, and cilantro. We’re not saying these nachos will change your life, but we’re also not not saying that.

Don’t Miss Out—Make That Reso

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. THOSE ARE SOME OF OUR NEW FALL MENU ITEMS - SWING BY THE MULE, WHERE WE MIGHT NOT CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY CHANGE YOUR DINNER PLANS.

The Spicy Meatball Taco

This taco brings the heat and leaves you craving more. Taking a bite will make you feel like a dragon that just got angry and is dealing with the aftermath of being a fire-breather. What I’m saying is, it’s got some heat 🔥

NEW Summer Cocktails

Think of these as summer in a glass. Refreshing, vibrant, and the perfect sidekick for those warm, lazy evenings. They’re so good, you’ll wonder why every drink can’t be this cool.

With every 100 bottles of tequila sold, Tequila Tromba will plant a wild endangered agave, never to be farmed for tequila production. The Other Bird is passionate about sustainability (and tequila).
