The six iconic holiday flavors of Hershey’s KISSES are back to spread holiday cheer.
Move over, original Hershey’s KISSES. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a classic favorite. But this time of the year, there are six other holiday flavors waiting to be devoured. Their adorable packaging makes them a perfect stocking stuffer…and their chocolatey goodness? Never fails to satisfy sweet cravings. Of course, the best part is eating them straight from the bag, because there’s nothing quite like the joy of removing those foil wrappers and then popping the bite-size chocolates into your mouth! And did I already say the holiday KISSES have adorable individual wrappers?
Hershey’s KISSES finally restocked their holiday varieties, which include the Grinch Milk Chocolate, Cherry Cordial, Sugar Cookie, Candy Cane, Mint Truffle, and Hot Cocoa. While these treats are already available on the Hershey’s website, fans are awaiting their arrival at stores. If you haven’t tried some or any of these variations, we’re giving you the sweet details on each:
- Grinch Milk Chocolate: This actually gives you the classic Hershey’s KISSES flavor, but in Grinch-themed wrappers. Such a perfect snack for seasonal viewings of the Christmas film.
- Cherry Cordial: You can’t miss this bag of chocolates wrapped in shiny red foils. It has a strong cherry taste and smell, but balanced by the milk chocolate. The amount of cherry filling might surprise you, too!
- Sugar Cookie: This variation has captured the sugar cookie flavor, made better with white chocolate crunchy cookie bits. Some fans are reminded of the Cookies and Cream flavor when getting Sugar Cookie flavor.
- Candy Cane: Another white chocolate-based treat is the Candy Cane KISSES. They’re famously known for their red stripes with candy cane flavoring and bits of candy cane inside.
- Mint Truffle: Want to refresh your holiday cookie recipe? Try adding the Mint Truffle KISSES variation, which combines dark chocolate with cool mint. A lot of fans actually wish for this flavor to be available all year round!
- Hot Cocoa: Get nostalgic with Hot Cocoa KISSES, featuring chocolate-covered candies with a marshmallow creme filling. The candies are wrapped individually in brown foil with marshmallow designs.
Other Sweet Delights to Try from Hershey’s
Reese’s is another popular candy brand under The Hershey Company. And if you happen to be a fan of the milk chocolate-peanut butter combo, you’ll love these new releases from Reese’s:
- Reese’s Sugar Cookie Cups – This holiday offering upgrades the classic peanut butter cups that we love, and this time, they have sugar cookie bits inside! These are now available in stores, so make sure to grab a bag and add them to your candy dishes for an extra burst of sweetness.
- Reese’s Filled Pretzels – While these are not specifically for the holiday season, Reese’s Filled Pretzels are expected to hit the snack aisles this month. Pretzels and peanut butter are also a good combination; no doubt about that. The only thing that might be missing from this item is the milk chocolate. 👀
- Reese’s Red Velvet – The classic cake flavor will soon be in your favorite peanut butter cups. Reese’s Red Velvet will feature red velvet-flavored creme on top and milk chocolate on the bottom. These are rumored to be released in January, most probably after the Christmas candies are gone.
Meanwhile Kit Kat, another Hershey brand, is yet to announce its official holiday offerings for the year. But if you’re looking for something new from the iconic chocolate wafers, give Kit Kat Vanilla Flavored Candy Bar a try. It’s classic, light, and coated in (not so) sweet vanilla creme.

From The Club
Hershey’s KISSES has some of the most varied seasonal offerings I’ve seen. I’m hoping to get all holiday variations in one pack once they hit the stores. The Cherry Cordial and Hot Cocoa are crowd-favorites, and I can see why. Their filled centers make them extra special! However, the Grinch Milk Chocolate is my top priority. I love everything Grinch and I don’t have complaints with Hershey’s OG KISSES flavor. So what’s not to love?
