All the New Hershey’s Holiday Candies Hitting Shelves for Christmas 2025

Now that Halloween has come and gone, folks have already begun hanging Christmas lights, erecting Christmas trees, and thawing out Mariah Carey. Can’t we wait until after Thanksgiving!? There is one annual holiday tradition I am okay with before Thanksgiving: the release of Christmastime sweets. Hershey’s recently invited me to a virtual event to check out all of their incoming goodies, here’s all the holiday candy hitting shelves NOW! 

Candy Cane Kisses and a New Hershey’s Kiss Flavor 

I’m happy to report that not only will the iconic Candy Cane Kisses return, but Hershey’s will also release a brand new flavor of Hershey’s Kisses: Snickerdoodle. These new cookie-flavored kisses will feature cinnamon and tiny bits of cookie in each Kiss. If these are anything like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Hershey’s Kisses, I will be first in line to pick up several bags!

New Kit Kat Shape and a New Holiday Flavor

After the Vampire-shaped Kit Kat Counts were a huge hit for Halloween, Hershey’s has continued the KitKat shape trend and will be giving us Kit Kat Santas! Sporked editor-in-chief Justine Sterling wrote in her review that the Counts were “very wafer-forward,” and I’m hoping that will be the case with these as well. The Kit Kat Santas will also join the iconic Reese’s Christmas Trees in a new assortment bag. (I’ve always personally believed that the Christmas Tree is the best form of Reese’s but further scientific testing may need to be done.) 

But that’s not all for Kit Kats! Hershey’s is also rolling out a whole new Kit Kat flavor: Peppermint Stick. These are covered with peppermint-flavored cream featuring candy bits. Candy cane, who?

Hershey’s x The Grinch

Hershey’s tells us that there will be three different unique Grinch-inspired Hershey bars featuring Cindy Lou Who, Max the Dog, and of course, the Grinch himself. The Grinch will also make an appearance on special themed foil Hershey kisses as well.

Reese’s mini Christmas trees

Now for the moment everyone’s been waiting for: the holiday Reese’s news! After the Unwrapped Reese’s Pumpkins were a success, Hershey’s is doing the unwrapped Reese’s thing all over again—this time with the Christmas tree shape. Will they be as perfect as the full-sized Reese’s Christmas Trees? Check back for our review.
