Seasonally Enhanced Snack Cakes

These New Hostess Cakes Come in Four Flavors for the Holidays

— November 5, 2022 — Lifestyle
Infusing everyday of the holiday season with a touch of festivity is quickly becoming a larger movement within the food market, which is being supported by products like these new Hostess cakes.

The snack cakes include familiar treats, which have been given a seasonally inspired overhaul to make them great as a sweet indulgence that will also enhance one's sense of cheeriness. The cakes include the Holiday CupCakes, Holiday HoHos Hot Cocoa & Marshmallow Flavored Donettes and Mint Chocolate Flavored Twinkies. The limited-edition treats are arriving at grocery stores nationwide now.

General Manager Christopher Balach commented on the new Hostess cakes saying, "With the holiday season right around the corner, consumers are anticipating the return of special flavors that capture the joy, delight and traditions of the season. From the classic chocolate sponge cake and refreshing mint flavor of our Mint Chocolate Flavored Twinkies to the rich and creamy hot chocolate flavor of our Hot Cocoa & Marshmallow Flavored Donettes, we think consumers will love our holiday snacks.”
