Included in this holiday lineup are 'Candy Cane Tubes,' 'Red & Green Gummy Ornaments,' Xtreme Ski Chalet Cookie Kits,' and 'Coal Gummies.' The diversity of these products offer variety to consumers with a sweet tooth.
The Coal Gummies are actually black raspberry flavored, but they are meant to look like a bag of coal because of the connection between coal and the holidays. The Candy Cane Tubes cost $2, and are Sour Patch Kids-branded candy canes. The Red & Green Gummy Ornaments are small, bagged sour candies that are shaped like tree decorations, and the Chalet Cookie Kit is a large cookie-house building kit for holiday festivities.
