\"CC_DumDumHolidayPopsTITLEPLATE\"I’ve often talked about how I love oddball or specialty flavor spin-offs of classic brands. \u00a0From fruit-flavored Milk Duds<\/a> to cinnamon hot Dots<\/a>, there’s something I find particularly compelling about these releases, and I’m always pleased when new ones come out. \u00a0So I’m understandably excited that Spangler has released a whole assortment of specialty Dum-Dum holiday flavor pops for this year’s Christmas season!<\/p>\n

Sold in a ten ounce bag, the packaging is similar to their standard effort but clearly announces that this is a holiday assortment:<\/p>\n

The outer package highlights the holiday flavors found inside the package, and there are eight different pops in the variety, though the assortment also include a ninth pop – the standard Dum-Dum Mystery Flavor.<\/p>\n

As is the standard for Dum-Dums, each flavor pop \u00a0has its own individually designed wrapper. \u00a0They’re all fun, though my favorite of the bunch is probably the gingerbread. \u00a0[Note: This would seem to bring home the idea that 2013 is the year of the gingerbread-flavored candy<\/a>.] \u00a0Here it is:<\/p>\n

Those are all eight of the specialty holiday flavor wrappers. \u00a0To close out, here is the Mystery Flavor which I think is the same wrapper that is found in non-holiday assortments:<\/p>\n

The Dum-Dums holiday pops assortment is a brand new seasonal specialty edition for 2013, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of it. \u00a0 I think it’s a knockout concept and I am confident that these will return next year and become an annual tradition in the years that follow.<\/p>\n

That’s everything for today’s entry in our Twelve Days of Christmas! \u00a0See you next time!<\/p>\n
