Hershey is hopping right into the 2022 holidays to introduce new treats to fall in love with for Valentine's Day and Easter, while also bringing back past seasonal favorites.

This Valentine's Day, new and returning heart-shaped goodies from the Reese's and Hershey's brands abound, as well as the new Reese's Blossom-top Miniature Cups, which are the classic Reese's Peanut Butter Miniature Cups but with a colorful pink top. 

"Our Valentine's Day products – from new Reese's Blossom-top Miniature Cups to our returning Hershey's Kisses Meltaway Roses – are helping to make each moment, big or small, that much more special, no matter how you're celebrating the season of love," said Nathan Stebbins, associate brand manager of Valentine's season. "Love birds and families alike will all have something to choose from!"

For Easter, the Hershey's brand is debuting seasonal treats in a cookies 'n' creme flavor and offering a new Hershey's Kisses flavor, vanilla frosting. And the Whoppers brand is encouraging fans to get creative with their bunny-inspired spring treats, too.

"Eggs and bunnies are always front and center during the Easter season, so this year we're going all out with the Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Polka Dot Bunnies and Eggs and Whoppers Bunny Tails," said Briant Giles, manager of the Easter season. "Families can always look to Hershey to provide iconic treats for their Easter baskets, but also to find something new in the candy aisle for the season, such as our Hershey's Kisses Milk Chocolates with Vanilla Frosting Flavored Creme – the perfect fit for springtime get-togethers!"

Below find information on all the new products being launched for the upcoming holiday:
