Is it too early to say “Season’s Greetings”? Not according to M&M’s. The shelled chocolate tycoon is always rolling out unexpected flavors we can’t help but indulge in, from Fudge Brownie to last Halloween’s spine-chilling Creepy Cocoa Crisp. Just this July, M&M’s even announced they’d be celebrating Christmas a little early this year…
The time has come to stuff your stocking with 2020’s sweetest holiday treat—Sugar Cookie M&M’s!
They’re All We Want for Christmas
Set out M&M’s for Santa this year, because this flavor is just as decadent as a freshly-baked batch of sugar cookies. The shell is made of white chocolate and sugar cookie flavoring, locking in a crispy and crumbly, cookie center. They won’t clash with your holiday decor, either; the red, green and white candy will make a perfect centerpiece (but good luck keeping hands out of the bowl).

Dear Santa, can you please bring Hot Cocoa M&M’s back, too?
When Will Sugar Cookie M&M’s Be Available?
Sugar Cookie M&M’s have just officially hit store shelves. The Share Size 3.22-ounce bag is retailing for just $1.89—a holiday bargain—and you can get a 7-ounce bag from Walmart for only $2.88 this holiday season. Keep an eye out for these festive M&M’s during your next grocery haul (or just get them delivered if you’re not too keen on heading in-store just yet).
We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of anything sweeter for the candy bowl this year!
Monster Cookies
This recipe combines several favorite flavors—peanut butter, butterscotch and chocolate—in one big cookie. Before baking, I like to press a few extra M&M's on top for added color. —Patricia Schroedl, Jefferson, Wisconsin
Santa’s Stuffed Belly Cookies
I have been seeing "surprise inside cookies" for a few years and really wanted to come up with my own version. After a little brainstorming, I came up with the idea of making Santa's belly cookies and filling them with miniature cookies. These are so much fun to give as gifts—just wrap in colored cellophane and tie with a festive ribbon. You can exchange the mini cookies for candy or anything you'd like; if desired, you can color the cookie dough red, too. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado
Beary Cute Cookies
These cheery and cute cookies will delight kids of all ages! I like to make fun foods but don't care to spend a whole lot of time fussing. So the idea of using candy for the bears' features was right up my alley. —Susan Schuller, Brainerd, Minnesota
Polka-Dot Macaroons
Macaroons studded with M&M's are easy to mix up in a hurry. That's good, because believe me, they never last long. —Janice Lass, Dorr, Michigan
Giant Monster Cookies
Who can resist gigantic monster cookies chock-full of goodies like chocolate chips, M&M's and peanut butter? If your appetite isn't quite monster-size, make them by heaping tablespoonfuls. This is the world's best monster cookies recipe. —Judy Fredenberg, Missoula, Montana
