Pumpkin Pie M&M's: A Perfect Impulse Buy for Fall

Fall is here, and with it comes a wave of pumpkin-flavored products that fly off of the shelves as you know from our previous article, Maximizing Fall Sales with Pumpkin Spice and Seasonal Flavors. Another one of the best seasonal items to stock up on is Pumpkin Pie M&M’s as consumers are actively seeking out this pumpkin-flavored treat. These limited-edition, bite-sized chocolate candies combine the sweetness of milk chocolate with the warm spices of pumpkin pie, making them a perfect fall treat. Placing these bags of M&M’s near the checkout counter at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even liquor stores is an excellent strategy for boosting impulse buys during the busy fall season.

Why Pumpkin Pie M&M’s Are a Must-Have

The pumpkin-pie flavor taps into the strong seasonal demand for fall-themed treats. With the familiar taste of pumpkin pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, combined with M&M’s signature milk chocolate, these candies are a perfect addition to Halloween candy selections and other autumn-inspired snacks. The limited-edition nature of the product adds a sense of urgency for shoppers, as they know it will only be available for a short time.

The Pumpkin Pie M&M’s were released in May 2024 and are expected to remain on shelves through the end of October, just in time for Halloween. They’re available in both individual and family-sized bags, making them ideal for either solo snacking or sharing at parties. Stocking these pumpkin-flavored treats near your checkout counter makes it easy for customers to grab a last-minute seasonal item as they finalize their purchases.
