Little Debbie is getting an early start on the holiday season with two new treats and the return of several familiar favorites. The 2026 Christmas collection brings a cozy hot cocoa flavor to the mini muffin lineup and adds festive Old Fashioned Donuts to the brand’s seasonal selection. Fans can also look forward to the return of Christmas Tree Cakes, brownies, gingerbread cookies and other holiday snacks. Whether you’re shopping for a sweet breakfast option or a treat to share during the festivities, there are plenty of familiar flavors and new additions to explore. Here’s what Little Debbie has planned for the season.
Hot Cocoa Mini Muffins Add a Cozy New Flavor
Little Debbie is bringing the familiar taste of hot chocolate to the breakfast and snack aisle with its new Hot Cocoa Mini Muffins. These bite-sized muffins combine rich chocolate flavor with toasty marshmallow-flavored bits, giving them a taste inspired by a warm mug of cocoa on a chilly winter day. Each muffin comes in an individually wrapped pouch, making the product convenient for busy mornings, lunchboxes or an afternoon snack. Unlike some of the brand’s more traditional Christmas treats, this new addition focuses on a classic winter drink rather than festive shapes or decorations. It is one of two new products joining Little Debbie’s 2026 holiday collection.
Big Pack Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts Bring a Festive Bakery Classic
A traditional glazed donut gets a seasonal makeover in Little Debbie’s new Big Pack Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts. The cake-style treats are designed to have a rich, moist center and a slightly crisp edge, with a sweet glaze and red and green sprinkles giving them their holiday appearance. Their old-fashioned style offers something a little different from the brand’s familiar tree-shaped cakes and brownies. The Big Pack format also makes them suitable for sharing at home, serving with morning coffee or setting out during holiday gatherings. The donuts are the second new addition to the 2026 lineup, expanding the brand’s seasonal choices beyond its usual snack cakes.
Christmas Tree Cakes and Brownies Return as Holiday Favorites
For shoppers who look forward to Little Debbie’s holiday collection every year, the return of its Christmas Tree treats will likely be welcome news. The familiar Christmas Tree Cakes are coming back in both vanilla and chocolate varieties. Each features the recognizable tree shape, a fluffy creme layer and festive sprinkles. Christmas Tree Brownies are also returning, offering a richer option with their fudgy texture, colorful holiday icing and candy ornaments. These products have become recognizable parts of the brand’s seasonal range, combining familiar flavors with decorations that make them stand out on store shelves. Their return gives longtime fans the chance to enjoy established favorites alongside the two new products arriving for Christmas 2026.
Gingerbread Cookies and More Seasonal Snacks Round Out the Collection
Little Debbie’s 2026 holiday lineup includes several other returning treats that offer a mix of familiar flavors and textures. North Pole Nutty Buddy Wafer Bars feature crispy peanut butter wafer layers dipped in white fudge, while Gingerbread Cookies bring soft, spiced flavors in traditional holiday shapes. Cherry Cordials add another option, with soft cookies topped with cherry-flavored creme and covered in a smooth chocolatey coating. The collection also includes Christmas Mini Muffins, which are vanilla-based and decorated with red and green sprinkles, along with Mini Christmas Tree Cake Donuts coated in white frosting and finished with red stripes and green sugar sprinkles. For shoppers who prefer individually packaged snacks, Christmas Tree Cakes, Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts and Cosmic Brownies will be available in single-serve formats. The full seasonal range is scheduled to roll out to grocery stores, mass merchandise retailers and convenience stores nationwide from mid-October through mid-December 2026.
