The General Mills Rudolph Cereal is a new breakfast food product being launched with the holiday season in mind to offer kids and kids-at-heart with a tasty option to enjoy. The cereal features hot cocoa-flavored bits along with marshmallows to give it a crunchy hot chocolate-inspired flavor experience. The marshmallows are shaped like Rudolph's nose, green holiday trees and a blue elf hat.
The General Mills Rudolph Cereal is branded with the namesake character himself on the front along with a series of red and green color accents. The cereal will only be around for the winter months to make it a Christmastime exclusive for avid fans of the iconic claymation film to pick up for themselves and their families to enjoy.
