According to the supplier, the limited-edition mints are ideal for stockings or as a seasonal treat, as well as provide an alternative to confectionery – which has had a steady decline if 7% in value sales since 2019.
The supplier claims that sugar confectionery is rising in popularity during the festive season, with a sales growth of £1.9m in 2019 compared to the previous year. Mentos Candy Cane aims to help retailers tap into the demand and give them an opportunity to drive mint sales.

The Mentos Candy Cane mints will feature four humorous messages on the red packaging, including ‘You make Christmas sweeter’, ‘Sweetest season greeting’, ‘Peace, love & joy’ and ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’.
