Sweet holiday treats are back on shelves.
Bakery brand Milk Bar is partnering with Got Milk? to launch a limited-edition holiday milk mix collection.
The line, which is inspired by Milk Bar’s cereal milk, features three dairy milk mixes: apple cider donut, pumpkin cinnamon and sugar cookie.
The limited-edition collection can be ordered online as a DIY set, which features all the materials needed to create the milk flavors, along with six Milk Bar cookies designed to pair with the milk.
McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams launched its dairy-free holiday flavors exclusively at Whole Foods Market locations.
Inspired by holiday treats, the dairy-free line features two flavors:
Gluten-free and allergen-friendly company Partake Foods brought back its limited-edition holiday cookies: crunchy holiday sprinkle and soft baked chocolate peppermint cookies.
The holiday sprinkle cookies are made with vanilla and red and green sprinkles, while the chocolate peppermint cookies are made with cocoa and peppermint and feature a chewy texture.
Califia Farms added a new matcha almond latte, its first multi-serve matcha latte. The ready-to-drink beverage is formulated from a blend of almond milk and matcha green tea powder. It contains 120 calories and 13 grams of sugar per 12-oz serving.
Health-forward snack maker 34 Degrees has added two new limited-time seasonal flavors to its line of sweet crisps: pumpkin spice and chocolate peppermint.
The wafer-thin crisps are designed to offer a guilt-free snacking option that can solve sugar cravings, according to the company. Formulated from chickpeas and coconut oil, and free from soy, nuts, eggs and dairy, a serving of approximately 15 crisps contains 120 calories. Both varieties are now available in major grocery retailers like Kroger and Sprout’s Farmers Market and online through Amazon.
“We may be 10 years late to the pumpkin spice craze, but there's still a strong demand for this seasonal flavor” said Craig Lierberman, founder and chief executive officer of 34 Degrees. “Thin like a cracker and sweet like a cookie, our seasonal flavors are delicious on their own or paired with a hot fall beverage.”
Blue Circle Foods is partnering with Spicewalla to launch Chili Lime Salmon Shorties, which are miniature salmon sausages, seasoned with Spicewalla’s chili lime seasoning and have been hardwood smoked.
The salmon sausage links can be served alone, with a sauce or wrapped in pastry and baked.
“Blue Circle Foods is hooked on bringing culinary twists, like ‘fins in a blanket,’ to dinner tables across America,” said Nina Damato, managing partner of Blue Circle Foods. “Salmon Shorties will reel-y impress guests with its versatility and clean ingredients. Quality and freshness are the cornerstones of our partnership with Spicewalla. Their dedication to taste and importing in small quantities from quality suppliers creates a fresher and more flavor-packed spice blend.”
STōK Cold Brew added its newest limited-edition flavor of cold brew: peppermint mocha.
“While we all wish that cold weather and the upcoming holiday season meant hunkering down and cozying up by the fire for the next few months, STōK knows that the reality is that there are always a million things to get done, no matter the season,” said Brittney Polka, vice president of ready-to-drink beverages and lead for STōK Cold Brew, at Danone North America. “It’s exactly why STōK Cold Brew launched Peppermint Mocha — because managing the winter season is more enjoyable with a glass full of the coffee-forward, winter flavors you love always in your gloved hand.”
Better-for-you snack brand MadeGood launched its drizzled crunchy oat bites, which are now available at Target, Walmart and Kroger locations. The bites are formulated with organic and allergy-friendly ingredients and topped with a vegan chocolate drizzle. They are available in chocolate drizzled birthday cake and vanilla drizzled cookies and crème flavors.
