Put down the peppermint, because this Christmas is all about Oreo candy canes.
Just when we thought Christmas couldn’t get any better, all of our favorite holiday treats are returning. Reese’s once again gave us the gift of cookie skillet kits. Oreo hopped on the sleigh, too, recently debuting these adorably delicious cookie house kits. But milk’s favorite cookie wasn’t about to stop there.
Because we love weird candy canes of all kinds, we think it’s time to give this flavor a try. Oreo candy canes are back for 2021!
Is the Candy Cane Really Oreo-Flavored?
Yes! The Oreo candy canes are black and white, the black stripes acting as your classic cookies and the white stripes as your creme filling. Every box comes with 12 candy canes which are perfect for sharing at the holiday party or for eating right off the Christmas tree.
The Oreo candy canes are 5″ tall, which is about average for peppermint, so you won’t be missing out on any flavor. They’re the ideal stocking stuffer or white elephant gift for the foodie who loves quirky Christmas treats.
Decorate your candy canes with chocolate and sprinkles. Here’s how!
Where to Grab Your Box
It’s just not the holidays without a candy cane in hand. While we haven’t seen Oreo candy canes in stores just yet, they’re already available online. Amazon has them right now, ready to ship straight to your doorstep in time for Christmas. They’re a bit of a splurge at $6, but if you have Amazon Prime, the candy canes should arrive in no time.
You can also snag some other specialty items from Oreo this year. Oreo Cookie Dunking Sets might be back at Walmart sooner than you think. All in all, it’s gonna be a pretty sweet holiday for Oreo, so don’t miss out on the best snacks of the season.
