Starting with the 2011 Christmas season, Mars has been releasing sets of holiday-themed standard-sized M&M’s packages.\u00a0 Though they’d been producing large-size packs with holiday themes and graphics for years, these standard-size holiday packs were new.\u00a0 Since their introduction, we’ve seen two different Christmas holiday sets (both standard and Mint<\/a>), a Valentine’s Set<\/a>, and even a delicious Candy Corn Halloween Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, I’m going to take a look at the twelve different standard-sized M&M’s pack designs that Mars created for the Easter Holiday season.<\/p>\n

The following pack designs were first introduced during the 2012 Easter holiday season, but returned for a encore appearance in 2013.\u00a0 There are twelve different packs altogether, six each of Milk Chocolate and Peanut variety.\u00a0 Here they are:<\/p>\n

And as with the previous holiday releases, each variety saw two different package back styles:<\/p>\n

It’s a fantastic set of twelve packs, and I really enjoy the fun they have with the mascots on these.\u00a0 I’ll be curious to see if these same pack designs come back for a third year next year or if Mars comes up with a new-look set.\u00a0 As a collector it would be fun to see them switch it up by giving us something new – but I wouldn’t be surprised to see these return.<\/p>\n

One last piece to share today is a little Easter Fun-Size pack of M&M’s Minis.<\/p>\n
