# Gelatinous Holiday Desserts Create Wild Desserts with Gingerbread and Candy Cane Jell-O Pudding By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-11-24 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-jello-pudding References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/candy-cane-gingerbread-flavored-jell-o-instant-puddings/) & [kaboodle](http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/jello-limited-edition-gingerbread-flavor-4-boxes-instant-pudding-pie-filling) Inspired by popular Christmas flavors, the gingerbread and candy cane Jell-O pudding packs are great for creating easy and instant desserts this holiday. For those who don't like the overly rich flavors of pudding, the gingerbread and candy cane Jell-O pudding mixes each feature a different holiday recipe for you to try. Jell-O takes the traditional desserts and integrates them into delicious recipes like Gingerbread Trifles and [Candy Cane Oreo Parfaits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-cookie-pudding), creating delectably creamy results. These mixes can also be used for fillings as well so master chefs can exercise their imagination with these festive ingredients and create some [gingerbread tarts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-cream-cheese), candy cane cakes, alcohol-infused treats or anything else your mind dreams of. Unfortunately, these mixes are only being sold for a limited time, but don't forget you can always stock up on a stash. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Holiday-themed Dessert Mixes:** Opportunity for food companies to create limited edition or seasonal dessert mixes featuring holiday flavors and recipes. - **Instant & Versatile Dessert Mixes:** Opportunity for companies to offer quick and easy dessert solutions that can be used as fillings or bases for various desserts. - **Pudding Alternatives:** Opportunity for companies to develop dessert mixes that cater to consumers' preference for less rich or heavy dessert options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in this industry can capitalize on the trend by developing and marketing holiday-themed dessert mixes that offer convenience and versatility. - **Retail:** Retailers can leverage this trend by stocking up on limited edition or seasonal dessert mixes that cater to consumers' demand for festive desserts. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses can offer unique holiday-themed desserts using these instant and versatile dessert mixes, catering to guests' taste preferences for seasonal flavors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jarred Festively-Themed Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jar-joy-holiday-desserts.md) - [Mexican Cuisine-Inspired Puddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelloo-pudding.md) - [Cookie-Topped Jelly Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jell-o.md) - [Gelatin Dessert Jelly Beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-jelly-beans.md) - [Next-Gen Gelatin Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelee.md) - [Indulgent Seasonal Dessert Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-desserts.md) - [Humorous Jelly Dessert Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jell-o-2.md) - [Festive Jelly Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-cosmo-cocktail-jelly-cake.md) - [Sour Candy Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-candy-squares.md)
