Head of Development at Heavenly Desserts Chris Coghanon spoke on the partnership with CleanCo saying, "No one’s looking for balance in winter – it’s cold, it’s dark, and dessert is the only sensible response. This campaign is about pure indulgence done properly, and that small moment of joy you don’t have to overthink. And with CleanCo, we’re showing that alcohol-free can still mean elevated, social, and full of personality.”
