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).
Let’s break it down.
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
$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)
DRAG THE HOLIGAYS | DECEMBER 7
Troy Boy Entertainment is coming to town and they’re bringing KW’s finest drag. Join us for Drag the Holigays on December 7, featuring Lucy Purr, Mr. TroyBoy Parks, Farra N Hyte, Rachael Temptation and Sapphyre Poison Doors open at 8:30pm and the show starts at 9.
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.

NEW SUMMER MENU
Big news: our new menu just dropped and it's ready to blow your mind. Last week, I had the pleasure of hanging with the team and we had a blast testing these new creations, and now it’s your turn to dive in. If you're in Cambridge and craving something kajunga, this is your moment.
By the way, it’s 100% gluten-free. You’re welcome.
Some big hitters:
Whipped Cotija
This one is all about creamy, dreamy goodness. It’s the kind of flavour that makes you close your eyes and feel the fuzzies. You might find yourself in a blissful food coma, and that's okay.
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.
And those are just the highlights. Our new menu is packed with unique flavours and interesting takes on classics that’ll make you fall in love with food all over again. We’re keeping it 100% gluten-free - as always. Pure, delicious magic.
So go say hey to our Cambridge crew and give them your best Ramsey review. 😇
