Mars Chocolate North America is ringing in the holidays with the return of some sweet favorites and the introduction of new seasonal treats.
“Chocolate is a quintessential part of so many family celebrations, and Mars Chocolate brands have been integral to holiday traditions for generations,” said Roy Benin, chief consumer officer for Mars Chocolate North America. “Each year, we develop a wide winter holiday assortment based on valuable input from consumers. This year, we’re introducing some exciting new products and, of course, we’re bringing back our perennial classics.”
Returning favorites include red and green M&M’S Brand Candies and Dove Brand Promises Milk and Dark Chocolate Snowflakes, which are each individually wrapped in silver and blue or red and silver foil with a snowflake design embedded on top.
