Holiday Sour Candies

Sour Patch Kids Released Festive Candies in Time for the Holidays

— November 26, 2021 — Lifestyle
'Sour Patch Kids' is a long-established brand that specializes in children's candies that has now released a special edition lineup of holiday sour candies. 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.

Whether looking for a convenient stocking stuffer, a fun holiday activity, or some tasty sour snacks, Sour Patch Kids' holiday lineup has something for everyone.
