Are Mint M&M’s Discontinued? Here’s What Happened to Holiday Mint

If you’ve been looking for Mint M&M’s and wondering what happened to them, you’re not imagining things.

M&M’s has released several mint flavors over the years, including Holiday Mint Chocolate, a seasonal variety that developed a loyal following before disappearing from the regular lineup. That older version has since been described as discontinued, which helps explain why searches for “Mint M&M’s” can turn into a frustrating hunt.

Now there’s a new mint option in the mix: M&M’s Mint Crunchy Cookie.

Unlike the earlier mint varieties, Mint Crunchy Cookie has a crispy cookie center surrounded by milk chocolate and cool mint flavor, then finished with the familiar candy shell. The flavor builds on the Crunchy Cookie format M&M’s introduced several years ago.

The result is closer to a chocolate mint cookie than a traditional M&M. That distinction matters because it gives Mint Crunchy Cookie its own identity instead of simply bringing back an older seasonal flavor under a new name.

Early comparisons have leaned heavily toward mint-chocolate cookies, which makes sense given the combination of chocolate, mint and a crisp cookie center. The mint flavor is noticeable, while the cookie center adds more crunch than the older mint M&M varieties had.

Are Mint M&M’s discontinued?

The older Holiday Mint Chocolate version appears to be gone from the regular lineup. But mint M&M’s themselves are not entirely disappearing. Mint Crunchy Cookie is the newest version carrying the flavor forward, this time with a cookie crunch in the center.

Whether Mint Crunchy Cookie becomes a permanent flavor is still unclear. For now, it gives people searching for Mint M&M’s a current option without simply recreating the discontinued holiday version.
