Is there any way to guarantee I will get the red box and not the blue special eddition packaging? These are for a large party and have to be correct.

Not unless you order directly from Nabisco or one of their direct suppliers. They are on the south side of Chicago (and yes you can smell the cookies being baked for MILES) . Call: (773) 925-8133 Still no guarantee, just information

Hi! Will I receive the boxes with the original picture if I order them today?

Thats a good question. I don't know. There could be the old boxes in a warehouse somewhere. The only way to find out is to order them to see which box you get.

Are these in the original box? My mother in law just ordered without checking the reviews and now I’m worried we will get the wrong ones for our party

Mine came in the red original box but that was for a party in September. I know some people complained about getting the blue winter edition boxes in the past and i was nervous too. Hope u get the right ones!!!
