The New Strawberries & Creme M&M’s Are So Much Better Than We Expected

I went to crazy lengths for this new M&M’s flavor. When’s the last time you traveled 1,000 miles from home for candy? Technically speaking, I was already in Orlando for work when I heard that the M&M’s Store in Disney Springs was selling this Valentine’s Day 2025 M&M’s flavor a few months early. So, I braved Disney’s version of airport security to get the new(ish) White Chocolate Strawberries & Creme M&M’s for you good people. 

Per Sporked’s own Jessica Block, this combination of flavors isn’t even close to new for M&M’s. Previous versions include the White Chocolate Strawberry Shake M&M’s, which received a whopping 2/10 for their artificial, syrupy taste. There was also a White Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake flavor released all the way back in 2016. Anyone else feel like M&M’s is just beating their heads against a wall trying to perfect this combination? Let’s find out if the third time’s the charm for M&M’s combining white chocolate and strawberry…

New M&M’s Flavor!

Strawberries & Creme M&M’s

Walmart

Pros: Previous white chocolate M&M’s have been hit or miss for me, but this is good. I think going for a less specific flavor concept probably worked in their favor—it’s a lot easier to nail the broad “strawberries & creme” idea than strawberry milkshakes or strawberry shortcake. I believe these are likely the best of the three attempts at this combination of flavors.

Cons: Hey, almighty M&M’s corporation, I can solve your problem. I know why these white chocolate/strawberry M&M’s keep underperforming: It’s the white chocolate. Seriously! You’ve already done a milk chocolate/strawberry M&M that did pretty well. Here’s a free idea for you: Put out a dark chocolate/strawberry M&M out for Valentine’s Day 2026 and watch the shelves clear out.

Where can I find these for myself?

Good news: You don’t have to road trip down to Orlando for these like I did. Strawberries & Creme M&M’s are already available on Walmart’s website. Beyond that, just take a stroll through the Valentine’s section of your local grocer/convenience store and you’re likely to find them. Here’s a tip: I find seasonal candy reliably early in the checkout line at Sheetz gas stations.
