Bakery brand Milk Bar is partnering with Got Milk? to launch a limited-edition holiday milk mix collection.

The line, which is inspired by Milk Bar’s cereal milk, features three dairy milk mixes: apple cider donut, pumpkin cinnamon and sugar cookie.

The limited-edition collection can be ordered online as a DIY set, which features all the materials needed to create the milk flavors, along with six Milk Bar cookies designed to pair with the milk.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams launched its dairy-free holiday flavors exclusively at Whole Foods Market locations.

Inspired by holiday treats, the dairy-free line features two flavors:

• Peppermint mocha and brownie bites: a dairy-free blend of peppermint-spiked mocha ice cream, swirls of chocolate ganache and gluten-free brownies.
• Gingerbread house: a dairy-free blend of oatmilk-based cream, swirls of Guittard chocolate and gingerbread cookies.

Gluten-free and allergen-friendly company Partake Foods brought back its limited-edition holiday cookies: crunchy holiday sprinkle and soft baked chocolate peppermint cookies.

The holiday sprinkle cookies are made with vanilla and red and green sprinkles, while the chocolate peppermint cookies are made with cocoa and peppermint and feature a chewy texture.

Health-forward snack maker 34 Degrees has added two new limited-time seasonal flavors to its line of sweet crisps: pumpkin spice and chocolate peppermint.

The wafer-thin crisps are designed to offer a guilt-free snacking option that can solve sugar cravings, according to the company. Formulated from chickpeas and coconut oil, and free from soy, nuts, eggs and dairy, a serving of approximately 15 crisps contains 120 calories. Both varieties are now available in major grocery retailers like Kroger and Sprout’s Farmers Market and online through Amazon.

“We may be 10 years late to the pumpkin spice craze, but there's still a strong demand for this seasonal flavor” said Craig Lierberman, founder and chief executive officer of 34 Degrees. “Thin like a cracker and sweet like a cookie, our seasonal flavors are delicious on their own or paired with a hot fall beverage.”

Quality and freshness are the cornerstones of our partnership with Spicewalla. Their dedication to taste and importing in small quantities from quality suppliers creates a fresher and more flavor-packed spice blend.”

STōK Cold Brew added its newest limited-edition flavor of cold brew: peppermint mocha.

“While we all wish that cold weather and the upcoming holiday season meant hunkering down and cozying up by the fire for the next few months, STōK knows that the reality is that there are always a million things to get done, no matter the season,” said Brittney Polka, vice president of ready-to-drink beverages and lead for STōK Cold Brew, at Danone North America. “It’s exactly why STōK Cold Brew launched Peppermint Mocha — because managing the winter season is more enjoyable with a glass full of the coffee-forward, winter flavors you love always in your gloved hand.”
