If you have a sweet tooth in your life, we’ve found the perfect holiday gift idea for you. It’s common to bake cookies, yule logs, or other sweet treats to give to loved ones during the holiday season. But if you’re not a fan of baking, don’t fret. Walmart just brought back a Little Debbie treat that every dessert lover is sure to appreciate—and there’s no pre-heating required.
But this is no average Little Debbie treat. This is a special, limited-time holiday product that goes beyond a box of Honey Buns. It would make an incredible stocking stuffer or a sought-after white elephant gift. And now that it’s back on shelves, we’re stocking up so we can be the most popular gift-giver this holiday season.
Little Debbie and Goose Creek Candles Return to Walmart
Ever wished your whole house could smell like a Little Debbie bakery? Well, now you can make that happen. Walmart has brought back Little Debbie’s most unique product yet: candles.
In 2023, Little Debbie collaborated with Goose Creek to create a line of candles that smell like a variety of Little Debbie products. That’s right, your favorite Little Debbie treats are available in candle form, and Walmart has officially brought them back for the holiday season.
Scents include Little Debbie’s Christmas Gingerbread Cookies, Christmas Tree Cakes, Cosmic Brownies, Honey Buns, Nutty Buddy, Oatmeal Cream Pies, Swiss Rolls, Zebra Cakes, and Strawberry Shortcake.
“I love this candle,” raved one reviewer of the Little Debbie Zebra Cakes candle. “It is very nostalgic, a favorite of mine.”
The three-wick candles are 14.5 ounces, feature an image of the Little Debbie product, and sell for $13.22 at Walmart. The custom fragrance oils were created to “conjure up the childhood memories of indulging in your household favorite treats,” as mentioned in the press release.
The Goose Creek team spent a year collaborating with world-renowned perfumers and flavorists to capture the specific scents of Little Debbie products—and it paid off. Fans have remarked how fragrant the candles are, calling the scents nostalgic and perfect for the holidays.
“Smells like heaven, even just having this candle unlit—it fills the room with a delicious, sweet smell of gingerbread and nostalgia,” noted one reviewer of the Christmas Gingerbread Cookies candle. “Please don’t ever stop making these!”
Last year, Goose Creek collaborated with Pillsbury to create another line of sweet candles. Scents include Apple Cinnamon Bread, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cinnamon Rolls, Crescent Rolls, and Sugar Cookies. Fans say Pillsbury candles are the same size and price as the Little Debbie candles, and just as effective. One reviewer stated the candles “make you hungry when burning them.”
The candles would make a special gift for the sweet tooth in your life. With a burn time of 45+ hours, these candles are sure to last longer than their favorite Little Debbie or Pillsbury treats.
