“At Mars, we like to say we’re consumer obsessed, and that especially rings true during the holiday season as we look forward to delighting our fans with seasonal twists from fan-favorite brands like M&M’s and Dove,” said Allison Miazga-Bedrick, senior director at Mars Wrigley. “No matter what holiday you are celebrating, it's a wonderful time for people to come together and feel a sense of belonging and enjoying the newest seasonal flavors from M&M’s and Dove can make it a whole lot sweeter.”

A twist on classic M&M’s, the Espresso Dark Chocolate Candies feature a smooth and rich espresso flavor with creamy dark chocolate that is coated in festive-colored candy shells.

On the other hand, Dove Promises Silky Smooth Holiday Brownie Batter contains a gooey brownie batter-flavored filling inside the brand’s classic milk chocolate shell that is wrapped in Christmas-tree patterned foil.
