Just when you thought that every iteration of Oreo cookies had already been dreamed up, the brand has announced the launch of several new Oreo products, including Oreo Loaded.
Last week, Mondelez International announced that six new Oreo innovations would be coming in 2025. One of the stars of the new lineup is a product called Oreo Loaded, which will hit store shelves on January 3, 2025. As the brand described it, "These cookies feature the signature Oreo chocolate cookie with original Mega Stuf level creme and are loaded with bits of real Oreo cookie pieces." In other words, it's like your favorite sandwich cookie stuffed with pieces of even more Oreo cookies – it's Oreo inception.
Other new products in the 2025 Oreo lineup include Oreo Frozen Treats and a new flavor of the brand's signature Oreo Thins.
