As a baking enthusiast, coffee drinker and sugar addict, I was immediately sold on them. Why wouldn't I want holiday flavored sugar? Yessssss plsssss. Of course I immediately needed to have them which turned into a problem because like everyone else, I COULDN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE. Nothing motivates me more than not being able to find something and refusing to accept defeat and pay 5x the price online, my wild goose chase began! I swear this happens to me every year though! There is always some new limited holiday item out that I just have to have but can never seem to find in stores. Small town probs, I guess?
I started checking all the local grocery stores in my town + Walmart. McCormick stated they would be released at Walmart and select retailers nationwide. They also suggested using their online store locator which I did, however none of the stores listed in my area had any in stock. I also had no luck stalking Amazon and Walmart online, however I read a lot of comments that Walmart has been restocking often. Several people also said you could order online + pickup if your store was in stock.
I kept checking the store locator on McCormick's site and one day, a new location for my local grocery store chain was added. Thinking it was a long shot but still determined to find them, I decided to go check and I lucked out! This store had all of them in-stock on a small little shelf near the endcap of the baking aisle. I know Walmart has an entire McCormick free standing display for theirs, however I expected other stores to have a smaller display in the baking aisle or in the seasonal, holiday section. My particular store didn't have them in any type of displayer, just sitting together on a little metal rack. They were technically in the baking aisle though- hopefully that helps if you're still on the hunt!
I haven't tried any of them out yet but I'm excited to use for hot chocolate and cookies this season! I was fortunate enough to find all flavors but I'm most excited for the Salted Caramel and English Toffee. Sadly no one ever seems to make enough of anything limited edition but I'm sure based on the demand that they are trying to make as many as possible. I also think we can expect them to come out again next year. I'll post an update once I try them all out + let you know how they are!
I'll also go ahead and link them all for you in my Amazon Storefront here. If you want to catch them, I suggest adding them to a wish-list + then keeping an eye for restocks! You'll be able to find them faster and it should show when they are back in stock to purchase.
Which flavor sounds the yummiest to you?
