Oreo Candy Canes Are BACK and Here to Satisfy Your Holiday Sweet Tooth

Just when we thought Christmas 2019 couldn’t get any better, all of our favorite holiday treats are returning. Reese’s once again gave us the gift of cookie skillet kits. Oreo hopped on the sleigh, too, recently debuting these adorably delicious cookie house kits. But milk’s favorite cookie wasn’t about to stop there.

While we love all things peppermint, we think it’s time to give a different holiday candy a try. Oreo candy canes are back for 2019!

Is the Candy Cane Really Oreo-Flavored?

Yes! The Oreo candy canes are black and white, the black stripes acting as your classic cookies and the white stripes as your creme filling. Every box comes with 12 candy canes which are perfect for sharing at the holiday party or for eating right off the Christmas tree.

The Oreo candy canes are 5″ tall, which is about average for peppermint, so you won’t be missing out on any flavor. They’re the ideal stocking stuffer or white elephant gift for the foodie who loves quirky Christmas treats.

Decorate your candy canes with chocolate and sprinkles. Here’s how!

Where to Grab Your Box

It’s just not the holidays without a candy cane in hand. While we haven’t seen Oreo candy canes in stores just yet, they’re already available online. Blair Candy has them right now, ready to ship straight to your doorstep in time for Christmas. They’re as budget-friendly as they are tasty, only $3.85 per package.

You can also snag some other specialty items from Oreo this year. Oreo Cookie Dunking Sets are back at Walmart for around $18 on November 1, and Peppermint Bark Oreos will be back on shelves sooner than you think. All in all, it’s gonna be a pretty sweet holiday for Oreo, so don’t miss out on the best snacks of the season.
