These black and white Oreo candy canes are said to boast the taste of the iconic cream-filled wafer cookies, offering a novel way for fans of the sweet treats to indulge in a favorite Christmas ritual.

Across the food industry, brands have been launching unexpected flavor crossovers, especially ones that keep their best-selling treats top-of-mind during seasonal events and holidays.
