Rothesay, NB – October 3–5, 2025 – McDonald’s Restaurants on Hampton Road and Industrial Drive are proud to partner with the town of Rothesay for a special three-day fundraising event in support of the Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC), a new facility designed to bring together people of all ages and abilities.

Support the RICC through the Tim Hortons Holiday Smile Cookie Campaign (Nov 17 – 23)
2025-11-17 - 2025-11-23 | New Brunswick
Holiday Smile Cookie Week runs November 17 – 23, 2025
Rothesay, NB — Tim Hortons has announced that its annual Holiday Smile Cookie Week will take place from Monday, November 17 through Sunday, November 23, and the Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex (RICC) has been selected as the local charity recipient in the Kennebecasis Valley.
During this special week, 100 percent of proceeds from every Holiday Smile Cookie sold at the three Tim Hortons locations in Rothesay and Quispamsis — 8 Marr Road, 173 Hampton Road, and 3 Millennium Drive — will be donated to support the RICC community fundraising campaign and local Tims Camps.
The Holiday Smile Cookie is a festive white-chocolate sugar cookie filled with red and green sprinkles and hand-decorated with a cheerful white-icing smile. It’s the perfect way to spread holiday cheer while helping build a community facility that will serve generations to come.
“We’re proud to support this important community project,” said Dustin Springer, owner of the local Tim Hortons restaurants. “Our team has always believed in giving back to the communities we serve, and the RICC is something that’s long overdue.”
“We’re so grateful to the Springer Family and Tim Hortons for choosing the Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex as this year’s local Holiday Smile Cookie Week charity,” said Keri Flood, Campaign Coordinator for the RICC. “We encourage everyone to stop by their local Tims, grab a box for your family, friends, coworkers, or classroom, and help us make this community dream a reality.”
Proceeds will support the community fundraising campaign for the new Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex — a barrier-free, multi-use recreation hub for all ages and abilities. The project will include a new arena with an indoor walking track, the revitalization of the existing arena into a multi-purpose gymnasium and new home for the Rothesay HIVE, and a connecting social hub with café space and community policing office.
Pre-order forms are available for individuals, families, schools, and businesses wishing to place large orders (12 cookies or more). Forms must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance and dropped off at one of the three participating Tim Hortons locations.
Holiday Smile Cookies can also be ordered through the Tim Hortons App, Uber Eats, or Skip The Dishes, depending on availability.
Call to Action
Every Holiday Smile Cookie purchased between November 17 and 23 helps build a legacy of connection — a community hub rooted in Rothesay and built for generations to come.
