There’s one candy I gift my family every year without fail: M&M’s. I love to send a bag of the red and green Holiday Blend to my parents, who like to enjoy a handful from time to time. And when I’m shopping for stocking stuffers, a candy cane-shaped tube filled with M&M’s is always one of the most-requested items.
And lucky for M&M’s fans: There are even more options than usual to choose from this holiday season. In the last few months, the candy brand dropped Honey Roasted Peanut M&M’s, launched an all-new freeze-dried variety, and debuted a blue-toned mix that’s perfect for snacking all winter long.
Now, a returning fan-loved flavor is back in stores, but it’s only available for a limited time.
M&M’s Holiday Mint Chocolate Christmas Candy Returns
M&M’s Holiday Mint Chocolate Christmas Candy is back on shelves for the season. The returning bag features peppermint-flavored milk chocolate candies coated in festive red, white, and green candy shells.
The returning candy makes the perfect addition to a homemade sweet party mix and can add a refreshing burst of flavor to your next batch of reindeer food. Additionally, it’s a colorful mix-in for candy-filled cookies and can be used as edible ornaments for Christmas tree brownies.

On the brand’s website, reviewers didn’t hold back their praise for the minty sweet, with multiple people stating that it’s a flavor they look forward to all year. “If our holiday wishes were to really come true, the marvelous treats would be offered all year. We tried the year-round mint M&M’s, and there is no comparison,” said one person.
“I have waited 10 long months for their return,” someone else commented.
“These are my favorite M&M’s product,” shared another. “The light, almost crispy chocolate inside and delicate shell outside are delightful. The mint is tasty, not overpowering, and leaves your mouth refreshed and your taste buds wanting more.”
Some reviewers even love the limited-edition flavor so much that they stock up so they can enjoy it at their leisure. “I buy 36 packages every year and freeze them just so I can get through the year. I only wish they would make them all year-round,” said one fan.
You can snag 9.2-ounce bags of M&M’s Holiday Mint Chocolate Christmas Candy at U.S retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Target, and Walgreens—but only for a limited time. Whether you plan to make festive treats or simply enjoy them by the handful, you’ll definitely want to grab a few bags before they disappear.
