We know it’s not even Halloween yet, but it might just be time to say goodbye to those summery bounties, like peach pies and frosé freezes. We’re heading into pumpkin spice season, and you know what that means…the holidays—and all of the warm cinnamon spice and minty sweets that come along with them—aren’t far behind.
The spirit of the season is already back at Walmart, and with it comes the Peppermint Creme Pie we can’t help but crave!
This Pie Gives a Lot of Bang for Your Buck
This seasonal beauty was spotted this week in Walmart’s freezer section, and judging by that beautiful candy cane filling, it’s definitely made for holiday indulging! The commenters on @JunkFoodFoodies‘ Instagram post seem split on whether it’s too early for Christmas or just the right time to be rolling out the festive goodies. What do you think?
Walmart’s Peppermint Crème Pie is being sold under the Great Value umbrella and weighs in at a little less than two pounds. It comes with a chocolate cookie crust and a cream cheese-based, pink peppermint filling topped with piped whipped cream. The crowning glory? Crushed candy canes for extra minty-sweet flavor!
This type of pie can be enjoyed fully thawed to taste all of its creamy goodness or eaten slightly frozen for a differently textured treat. No matter how you indulge, this pie deserves a spot on your list of best Christmas desserts.
How Can I Buy a Peppermint Creme Pie?
It doesn’t look like this Peppermint Creme Pie is available for purchase yet on the Walmart site, but it’s there if you want to see all of the details. You’ll have to head in-store to get your hands on this creamy pie. One of the best parts of this pie is that it’s being sold for under $5!
If you need this Peppermint Cream Pie in your life right now, get to Walmart ASAP! We have a feeling this pie won’t be around for long.
