Published by Jon Self on

Get ready for a colorful BBQ with Green Minion Mustard from French’s, celebrating Illumination’s new film arriving in theaters.

Theme park fans and movie lovers, fire up your backyard grills because a massive wave of cinematic mayhem is headed straight for your kitchen table. Universal and Illumination are gearing up for the theatrical release of Minions & Monsters on July 1, 2026. To celebrate, they have teamed up with the world’s number one mustard brand for a delightfully chaotic transformation.

Get ready to meet Green Minion Mustard. Through an exclusive partnership with McCormick & Company’s French’s brand, the iconic yellow bottle is getting a wild, monstrous makeover inspired by the upcoming animated blockbuster.

Green Minion Mustard: Goomi Takes Over the Factory

In a brand-new animated campaign video released by French’s, the Minions are hard at work inside the mustard factory. Chaos ensues when Goomi, a hilarious, not-so-massive new monster debuting in the upcoming film, takes over the production line. The result of Goomi’s mischief? Turning the brand’s classic condiment a completely green shade!

The limited-edition lineup features exciting products that will add a splash of color to your summer cookouts:

  • French’s Goomi’s Green Mustard: This is the classic, tangy yellow mustard you know and love, but with a vibrant visual twist. It is crafted using spirulina, a natural, plant-based colorant, so there are absolutely no artificial flavors or colors. It is available online now and will hit select retail shelves nationwide starting June 1.
  • French’s Minion Yellow Mustard: If you prefer to keep your condiments traditional but still want to join the fun, this classic yellow mustard bottle comes wrapped in limited-edition, film-inspired packaging that perfectly captures the comedic spirit of the Minions.
  • French’s Minions & Monsters Limited-Edition 2-Pack: Available exclusively online while supplies last, this collector’s pack includes one bottle of Goomi’s Green Mustard and one bottle of Classic Yellow Mustard in film-inspired packaging. Even better? It comes with a gift with purchase: a limited-edition mustard bottle topper shaped like the new Minion character, James.

Immersive Fan Events and Digital Fun

The collaboration officially kicked off with a massive, interactive launch event at The Grove in Los Angeles. Lucky fans in attendance got to “push the button” to watch French’s Classic Yellow Mustard transform into Goomi’s Green Mustard in real time while enjoying free hot dogs and pretzel bites.

If you couldn’t make it out to Hollywood, don’t worry! Frenchs.com has officially launched a custom digital experience. Fans can explore monster-themed recipes, entertaining inspiration, and interactive elements to keep the party going all summer long.

“French’s has always been part of summer’s biggest moments, from ballparks to backyard cookouts. Partnering with Illumination’s Minions & Monsters reimagines that tradition with a surprisingly colorful and undeniably fun, green twist,” said Tabata Gomez, chief growth & marketing officer at McCormick & Company, Inc.

Additionally, Universal Orlando Resort begins its summer celebration on May 23. During that celebration, Minion fans get an early look at Illumination’s upcoming film, meet the new characters Henry and James through interactive photo ops, and enjoy themed treats at Minion Cafe, like the Monster Marshmallow Lemonade. We plan to be at Universal Orlando Resort on May 23 to see all the Minion mayhem.
