Jelly Belly gears up for 2013 holiday season with new product offerings

FAIRFIELD, Calif. — Jelly Belly announced this week the addition of two new product offerings that will be available for the 2013 holiday season.

First is the Jelly Belly Countdown to Christmas Calendar. The calendar is filled with 24 tiny bags of Jelly Belly Kids Mix jelly beans, one bag for each day leading up to the holiday. The oversized, colorful advent calendar depicts Mr. Jelly Belly in a winter holiday scene adding Jelly Belly beans to a tree as decoration. Each numbered window in the box-sized calendar opens to reveal one of the tiny bags of jelly beans.

Jelly Belly beans contain four calories per bean and are fat free, peanut free, dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian and OU Kosher certified.

The Countdown to Christmas Calendar ships in July in 6-count cases.

Also from Jelly Belly comes the new Gummi Christmas Lights, Christmas light-shaped gummie candies that make for good stocking stuffers, the company noted. Gummi Christmas Lights come in four flavors: blueberry, very cherry, green apple and orange. They are available in a 6-ounce Jelly Belly Gift Bag in a 12-count and 10 lb bulk cases beginning in August.

Gummi Christmas Lights also are fat free, peanut free, dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian and OU Kosher certified.
