Lindt Quietly Dropped a New Holiday Candy Fans Call ‘Melt-in-Your-Mouth Good’

Can you believe we’re only a month and a half out from the start of 2026? One minute, we’re raving about cool orange cream creations by the pool, and the next, we’re bookmarking cozy casserole recipes to make for dinner. While we’re still coming to terms with the fact that we’re at the tail end of apple season, there is one silver lining: Bring on all the peppermint.

From pretzels to cookies, this is the one time of year we get a free pass to indulge in all our favorite sweet, minty treats. Chocolate-coated candy cane marshmallows? Chef’s kiss. Chocolate peppermint almonds? Good luck trying not to rip the bag open before you reach the checkout.

And, if there’s one candy cane combination we can’t resist, it’s white chocolate and peppermint. Lindt seems to agree, because it’s introducing an all-new peppermint-filled white chocolate treat that’s giving some of our seasonal staples a run for their money.

Lindt Debuts New Peppermint White Chocolate Snowflakes

Lindt is kicking off the winter holidays with new snowflake-shaped chocolates that blend rich white chocolate and crunchy peppermint candy bits, offering a textural experience that sounds divine. It’s giving peppermint bark, but smoother and silkier, meaning it’s less likely to leave pesky candy cane pieces stuck between your teeth, which, honestly, we can get behind.

“You can taste the peppermint but it’s not in your face,” one reviewer shared. “The peppermint bits almost have a cookie-type crisp to them. They leave your mouth feeling refreshed. I could eat the entire bag.” Need we say more?

According to other early reviews, fans say these snowflakes are “melt-in-your-mouth good” and are “smooth and creamy at every turn.”

“10/10,” one fan raved. “They did not last long at all in my house…kiddos and hunny devoured them all. Taste, texture, and quality are perfection!”

In addition to the new offering, Lindt is bringing back its Classic Recipe Snowflakes, a milk chocolate version of the candy, without peppermint. So, it’s the perfect choice for anyone who doesn’t vibe with the sharp, cooling sensation of this popular winter flavor.

Even better? Lindt is selling an assorted bag filled with both milk chocolate and peppermint snowflakes, as well as separate bags of each flavor. Pile them onto a tray for a festive appetizer or snack to tide guests over until dinner. Or drop one or two snowflakes into a cup of coffee (or hot cocoa) for a cozy peppermint mocha moment at home.

The new Peppermint White Chocolate Snowflakes have already been spotted at Target and Walmart, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they’ll be making their way to more retailers in the coming days.

From peppermint bark-flavored mocktails to peppermint Kit Kats, it sometimes feels like we’ve exhausted all avenues for mint. But let’s face it: when houses are lined with Christmas lights and “Love Actually” is on for the third night in a row, we’ll always find room for one more peppermint treat.
