Trolli Just Released a Holiday Version of Its Fan-Favorite Sour Candy

The holiday season delivers no shortage of sweet treats, from limited-edition flavors from M&M, Reese’s, and Lindt to the classics we eagerly anticipate each year. But while holiday confections often lean toward rich, warm flavors like peppermint, cinnamon, and chocolate, one flavor profile rarely makes the festive lineup: sour. 

Typically only top-of-mind on movie nights and road trips, sour candy isn’t typically the first snack you think of for holiday gatherings. But Trolli is changing the traditional treat game with a seasonal twist on its iconic gummies—and they’ll be a fun, unexpected addition to any holiday party.

Trolli’s New Sour Brite Abominable Snowmen Gummies

Trolli, a brand known for its bright colors, bold flavors, and irresistibly chewy textures, has unveiled a brand-new holiday treat we can’t wait to sink our teeth into. The latest candy creation takes inspiration from the frosty folklore of the Abominable Snowman, a character you might recognize from holiday classics like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This time, the mythical giant of the North Pole makes an entrance not as a furry, ferocious foe but as a squishy, squiggly, and perfectly harmless sour candy.

These limited-edition gummies come in three dual-flavored combos: strawberry-lime, blue raspberry-guava, and mango-passion fruit, each coated with Trolli’s signature sugary layer that adds an extra crunch to the chewy texture. 

The candy company has introduced several fun, playful shapes to its collection over the years, including Sour Brite Eggs, Gummy Bears, and Planet Gummi. This first-ever holiday-inspired shape takes the form of a tall monster with four stretchy limbs—although you might find it more closely resembles a sloth or barrel monkey. Regardless, if you’re a fan of the other popular Trolli shapes, especially Sour Brite Octopus, this seasonal treat will be right up your alley.

Sour candy fans already feel like these are a holiday must-buy, saying, “I mean, we can’t try them, right?” One shopper on Instagram found them at Hy-Vee, while another reported seeing them at Walmart. As the holiday rush picks up, more retailers will likely stock these limited-time treats, so keep an eye out as your candy cravings spike.

If you want to add something different to your holiday snacking or give your gingerbread house more character, these sour snowmen are just the thing. Their bright flavors and quirky personalities are a fun twist on the usual candy canes and chocolates. Plus, they make the perfect snack for your holiday movie marathon—Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, anyone?
