Good news, Spy x Family fans. As the new season comes to a close, we’re getting that long-awaited fast-food collaboration featuring the hit anime’s characters. A Spy x Family burger is here, but you don’t have to travel all the way to Japan to try it. Rather than a Japanese chain, Trill Burgers has teamed up with Toho International to deliver the official Spy x Family burger experience.

From December 6 to 31, 2025, Spy x Family fans can sink their teeth into the Spy x Family burger from Trill Burgers at their two Houston, Texas locations. The burger consists of two smashed beef patties, American cheese slices, pickles, beef goulash, a Lil’ Smokey sausage, a fried egg, and sour cream.

We can see some of the inspiration behind the burger. Yor makes a dish similar to goulash for the Forgers when she’s trying to find something she can cook without causing gastric distress to everyone in the family. We would have expected to see maybe a peanut sauce in there to represent Anya, but the Spy x Family burger from Trill Burgers is probably unique enough as it is.

“Team Trill Burgers is thrilled to partner with Spy x Family for our first in-store anime collaboration,” Trill Burgers co-founder Bun B said. “This collab is a huge deal for Trill Burgers – Spy x Family is a global show and we’re proud to bring this unique experience to fans. We love bringing these one-of-a-kind partnerships to our community and continue to cement Trill Burgers as a truly versatile brand.”

The collaboration between Trill Burgers and Spy x Family also includes a pair of t-shirts that feature the Forger family.

The Spy x Family burger is available at both Trill Burgers locations in Houston, Texas until December 31, 2025.
