Post Cinnamon Pebbles Cereal is Spiced and Sugary

— December 2, 2025 — Lifestyle
Fruit Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles cereals have become a mainstay favorite amongst consumers, so the Post Cinnamon Pebbles cereal has been developed by the brand as a further evolution of the range. The cereal consists of the brand's signature crispy rice flakes that are baked with cinnamon and vanilla to give it a deep flavor profile that differs from the existing options in the range. The cereal is launching at the right time to coincide with consumer embrace of spiced flavor experiences and comforting tastes during the cold weather months.

Post Cinnamon Pebbles cereal is arriving now at select retailers, but will receive a nationwide launch in the US starting January 1, 2026. The gluten-free cereal will come in three size options including a two-ounce cup, 11-ounce boxes and a 19.5-ounce family size.
