If you frequent JOANN like I do, not only are you prematurely aging yourself (granny life 4 life, tbh), but you’ve probably noticed something odd. This year, the Halloween season began in July. Honestly, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is chopping down trees and roasting chestnuts on an open fire and being all…happy. Bleh. That is, unless you’re lazy and cranky like me and your creaky old bones prefer to sit in a rocking chair while you shove candy into your face and sharke your fist at teenagers. I don’t know about you, but this holiday season I plan to do my fist-shaking while I devour some Christmas M&M’s. And lucky for me (but unlucky for those pesky teenagers), there’s a whole new variety of holiday M&M’s for me to enjoy: Toasty Holiday Peanut M&M’s.

New M&M’s? It’s a (very early) Christmas miracle! But are Toasty Holiday Peanut M&M’s different from Peanut M&M’s?
Yes, they are! That is, unless you’re like me and you always get some funky burnt Peanut M&M’s in your bag. Well, still. All things considered, they are different. Toasty Holiday Peanut M&M’s reportedly feature notes of spiced sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. On top of all that, the peanuts are roasted with caramel. If you ask me, it’s pretty much impossible to screw that up. Any burnt morsels will be coated in sugary, syrupy goodness. Might these even be an improvement on the holy grail of all M&M’s? That’s for you to decide!
So, when and where can you get these? The thing is, it’s not clear just yet. The Toasty Holiday Peanut M&M’s were spotted on Walmart’s website, but with no clear release date. If you’re impatient, you could grab Peanut M&M’s, Caramel M&M’s, and an old bag of Toasty Vanilla M&M’s and mix them all up in your mouth. Sure, you’ll look like a psychopath. But maybe, just maybe, you’ll have a taste of this new M&M’s flavor before the rest of us.

Having worked at Michaels for the past 10 years, I always looked forward to putting craft pumpkins out on the shelves on 4th of July weekend. Soon the other decor followed but one thing to keep in mind for craft stores such as Michaels and Joann – crafters buy months in advance to make their creations to sell at shows which typically start in August. They can’t just make 100 items overnight. Many ask even earlier so they can use the dog days of summer to beat the heat as they finish their collections for the fall craft shows.
When you walk into a grocery store or a Target and see seasonal stuff that early – THAT is way too soon.
New flavors of M&Ms should be available everywhere not just a few stores.
I would love to see mint m&m’s year round! I love them and have used them in chocolate chip cookies! They are delicious!
Please sell the Mint M & M’s all year long instead of just at Christmas time!!!!!
I thought they were coming out with a white chocolate M&M? I want that! Lol thank you.
