While Santa Claus isn’t coming to town yet, his mini chocolate versions are coming to the grocery aisles, all thanks to his friends from the Hershey’s Company. This season, we will be getting mini Santa Claus candies in the form of our all-time favorite Kit Kat treats as their holiday specials.
While Hershey’s has released their holiday-themed Kisses, such as The Grinch and Candy Cane, they have yet to come up with Kit Kat. Now joining them is the Kit Kat Santas, which features individually wrapped Santa Claus-shaped Kit Kats. What’s even cuter is the stamped beard, hat, and even the belt buckle to resemble Santa Claus, whom we know of growing up.
The chocolate part features the same as Kit Kat, with its crispy wafers encrusted with milk chocolate. They’re the perfect treats to add to your dinner table after a feast or put inside a Kit Kat fan’s stocking stuffers.
Nestlé, who, by the way, is a creator of Kit Kat, has long been releasing Kit Kat Santas in other countries. This is the first time the US has made this batch of Kit Kat Santas special.
You don’t have to search for them as these Kit Kats will be available to retailers nationwide. These treats will roll along with the rest of Hershey’s festive lineup, such as the Reese’s Shapes assortment, Sugar Cookie Hershey’s Kisses, and Twizzlers Merry Berry Punch.

More From Hershey’s
Hershey’s just released some of the best treats this year, and we’re definitely here to get more! Expect more releases next year, but for now, let’s enjoy the treats that we have. Gift them to someone who loves chocolates, or you can just store them on your refrigerator for snacking.
Here are some of the most recent Hershey’s releases:
Reese’s Red Velvet Peanut Butter Cups
This treat has been a long-standing wait at Hershey’s, and some have questioned if it’s real. Finally, Reese’s has come to light to reveal their Red Velvet Peanut Butter Cups that will make their debut in February 2025. Yup, these red velvet-flavored treats are a Valentine’s special release, so we may have to wait longer for them.
It features the top half of the chocolate being replaced by red velvet-flavored cream while the bottom still bears the same milk chocolate. The filling has the same peanut butter as the Original cups.
Kisses Holiday-themed Variations
As mentioned, Hershey’s has also brought back a ton of Kisses chocolate variations in holiday flavors. They’re already available to get at Hershey’s website while they’re still coming soon to stores, so it’s better to check out your local grocery store for that. In case you haven’t tried any of them, here’s a sneak peek:
- Grinch Milk Chocolate – Just the classic Hershey’s milk chocolate in The Grinch-themed wrappers for you to enjoy.
- Cherry Cordial – These treats are more than just those pretty red foils. It features a strong cherry taste due to the filling, but it is balanced well with milk chocolate.
- Sugar Cookie – Features a sugar cookie flavor made with white chocolate crunchy cookie bits. It resembles the Cookies and Cream flavored Kisses.
- Candy Cane – We’re in a candy cane frenzy, so expect Hershey’s to release their own. This candy features a white chocolate treat with bits of candy cane pieces inside.
- Mint Truffle – They make the perfect add-on or ingredient to your holiday cookies. It combines dark chocolate with cool mint, which gives off a refreshing taste to your mouth.
- Hot Cocoa – This unique Kisses flavor features a chocolate-covered treat with a marshmallow creme filling inside, just like your typical hot chocolate drink.

From The Club
As a Kit Kat lover, I’ll be sure to get this Santa treat while they’re still available. Imagine a much bigger and probably more Kit Kat treats than the usual piece-for-piece I buy. I guess I’d have to forgive myself for eating too many sweets, and it would be better to burn them before New Year’s Eve. 😅 For now, I’ll enjoy the sweets that come along with the holiday.
