The pie is being launched by the brand as part of its The [Milk Bar Holiday Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cane-cornflake-ice-cream-cake) program and is said to be something of a hybrid between a cinnamon bun and cheesecake. The crust of the pie is covered with [Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-pebbles-cereal) to add additional crunchiness and satisfy those with a penchant for familiar sweet treats. The Milk Bar CinnaSwirl Pie is being made available online via the brand's website at a price point of $52 for a whole pie, while patrons can also pick up a slice in New York City and Los Angeles for $7 each.
