We’re still three months from Christmas, but brands are already dropping festive products left, right and centre.
M&S just unveiled new seasonal sweets and treats, Mince pies have been spotted for sale in Sainsbury’s, Quality Streets are back in stock (and sadly shrinking) and now Pringles is getting in on the action too.
The snack giant has just dropped a brand new festive flavour, but it’s a mystery… literally.
Tubes of Santa’s Secret Flavour are launching in the UK for the first time ever and they promise to be a ‘playful puzzle for the taste buds’ as shoppers will have to work out what they’re eating.
The new Pringles will be available exclusively in Tesco from Wednesday, September 10, before they’re rolled out in other major UK supermarkets in early October.
The tubes will cost £1.95 and will only be available for a limited time, so you’ll want to try them while you can.
This follows the successful launch of a Super Mario mystery flavour back in January this year, with the crisps selling out. Guesses included wasabi, spicy meatball, cheesy nachos and melted popcorn, but it was later revealed to be Spicy Pickle.
But if you aren’t keen on solving the mystery, you’re in luck as Pringles is also bringing back two other iconic seasonal products very soon – with no guessing needed.
Turkey and Pigs in Blankets flavours will be returning to supermarket shelves in October, bringing a classic taste of Christmas with them.
A Pringles spokesperson said: ‘Our Mystery Flavour seriously got people talking – and tasting – so we knew we had to bring the fun back for Christmas.
‘Snackers loved trying to guess the secret blend, and this new festive edition is amping up that excitement once again.’
They added: ‘Santa’s Secret flavour is rich, surprising, and not what fans would expect from Pringles. With our classic Roast Turkey flavour and Pigs in Blankets flavour back too, it’s the ultimate line-up to kick off the festive season.’
If Pringles aren’t your favourite, there are plenty of other other new snacks to sink your teeth into.
Nik Naks recently announced they’d be launching a new twist on their classic products.
The brand, which has been a lunchtime staple since 1982, revealed Twisters – shaped to look like a whirling, twisting tornado.
These will be available in two fan favourite flavours: Nice ‘n’ Spicy and Tangy ‘n’ Cheesy and the new look is a huge milestone for the brand.
Walkers also added two brand new flavours to its permanent range.
Shoppers can now get their hands on Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken flavours.
The Sticky Teriyaki crisps are both ‘sweet and tangy’, while the Masala Chicken ones have a ‘rich and creamy’ taste, giving you a ‘bite-sized’ version of the UK’s favourite Indian dish, Tikka Masala.
