The holiday season is almost here, and that means new festive candies to enjoy. Hershey’s is famous for their holiday treats like Reese’s trees and Grinch Hershey’s Kisses, and now they have a new one: Kit Kat Santa. It’s the first time Kit Kat has changed its classic wafer shape for the holiday season, offering a new twist on an old favorite.
Kit Kat Launches Santa-Shaped Candy for the First Time
Kit Kat has always been synonymous with its signature break-apart wafers coated in milk chocolate. For years, the brand has embraced its slogan, “Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.” But this holiday season, they’re putting a spin on that tradition by introducing Kit Kat Santas—snack-sized versions of their famous wafers shaped like Santa Claus.
Each individually wrapped Kit Kat Santa features all the familiar elements of Saint Nick, including his hat, beard, and belt buckle. The candy includes two Kit Kat logos imprinted on Santa’s shoes, making it unmistakably part of the Kit Kat family.
These Santas maintain the same crispy wafer and milk chocolate combination that fans love, but now in a fun, festive shape perfect for holiday celebrations.
A New Holiday Tradition for Kit Kat Fans
While this is Kit Kat Santas’s first appearance in the U.S., the concept has been introduced previously. Kit Kat fans in other countries, such as those who enjoy Nestlé-produced Kit Kats, have had access to similar holiday-themed versions for years.
Kit Kat Santas even have special fillings in some regions, like unique cookie pieces. American fans can finally join the fun with Hershey’s new Kit Kat Santa launch.
Introducing a seasonal shape follows in the footsteps of other Hershey’s holiday staples, like Reese’s peanut butter trees and pumpkin-shaped treats for Halloween. Kit Kat Santas are designed to add a festive touch to holiday dessert tables, stocking stuffers, or just as a delightful snack during winter festivities.
Other Holiday Treats from Hershey’s
Kit Kat Santas aren’t Hershey’s holiday lineup’s only exciting new treat. Alongside the Santas, Hershey’s has also introduced other festive offerings for the season, including:
- Sugar Cookie Hershey’s Kisses: A blend of white creme & sugar cookie bits that taste like the classic holiday cookie.
- Reese’s Sugar Cookie Cups: These peanut butter cups have a creamy sugar cookie filling & mix two favorite holiday flavors into one delicious treat.
- Twizzlers Merry Berry Punch: Twizzler bites shaped like Christmas trees, perfect for adding a fruity twist to your holiday candy selection.
These new things are now in stores all over the country, so people can buy them before the winter parties.
Conclusion:
Hershey’s has new Kit Kat Santas for the holidays. They are fun & festive treats that give a new twist to your favorite candies. Whether you want to fill stockings, decorate your table, or have a snack, these Santas will bring holiday cheer to your celebration.
So, this year, instead of just breaking off a piece of the traditional Kit Kat, why not enjoy a bite of Santa Claus himself?
