The holidays are officially here and you know that means it’s time for cozy flavors, limited-edition treats, and all the nostalgic, peppermint-gingerbread-marshmallow goodness we wait for all year long.

This week, I stocked up on some festive snacks from Thrive Market, and honestly? This might be my favorite haul yet. If you love holiday flavors and better-for-you ingredients, this lineup is basically a winter wonderland in snack form.

Here’s a peek into what I grabbed and how they fit perfectly into a season that’s meant to feel joyful, not restrictive.

🎄 LesserEvil Holiday Popcorn: White Chocolate Marshmallow + Sweet & Salty

These two took center stage immediately partially cause they were HUGE seasonal bags with snowflakes all over them.

White Chocolate Marshmallow

Light, fluffy, cozy, and not overly sweet. I'm a fan of white chocolate and popcorn so this was a double win for me.

Sweet + Salty Holiday Blend

An elevated kettle-corn vibe with snow-day energy. Perfect for holiday movie nights, gift baskets, or grazing while doing holiday errands.

🍫 Chocolove Peanut Butter Cups (Holiday Edition)

Golden wrapped and festive without being too sugary.

They’re rich, creamy, perfectly portioned, and make the best little treat at night when you need a little something sweet.

🍪Bobo’s Gingerbread Oat Bites

A limited-edition flavor and one of the best gingerbread snacks you can find in the “healthier treat” category (along with RuleBreaker gingerbread cookies which I love).

Soft, warm spices. Cozy texture. Basically December in bite-size form.

🍬SmartSweets Holiday Gummies: Merry Mix + Sour Snowflakes

SmartSweets always nails the flavor without the sugar crash.

• Merry Mix— fruity, chewy, and fun

• Sour Snowflakes— a festive sour punch that kids love just as much as adults

These are perfect stocking stuffers or “grab-and-go” movie night options. The packaging is super sweet as well-not literally, do not eat it ;)

🧁Dandies Peppermint Mini Marshmallows

Vegan, fluffy, and unbelievably pepperminty.

Stir them into hot chocolate, sprinkle on brownies, or just eat them straight out of the bag like a holiday rebel.

🍫Luna Chocolate Peppermint Bars

Chocolate + mint lovers: these are for you.

A nostalgic peppermint-patty flavor but steadier energy thanks to protein and fiber. Great for busy days, travel, or last-minute gift wrapping sessions.

🎁 Skout Organic Holiday Bars: Peppermint Brownie + Jolly Gingerbread

Clean ingredients + holiday dessert flavor = yes, please. Skout always brings it with their fun holiday flavors.

• Peppermint Brownie tastes like a fudgy candy cane treat

• Jolly Gingerbread is warm, cozy,and kid-approved

These make incredible lunchbox surprises or stocking stuffers for anyone who loves seasonal flavors but wants something simple and wholesome.

🍡YumEarth Organic Holiday Gummies

Naturally flavored, allergy-friendly, and shaped like little festive icons. They’re cute, they’re tasty, and they disappear fast around here. YumEarth is also great at coming up with fun holiday products.

❄️ Why I Love Holiday Snacks Like These

The holidays should feel fun, not stressful. Not full of food rules. Not all-or-nothing.

These seasonal snacks are:

✔ Joyful

✔ Flavor-packed

✔ Better-for-you versions of nostalgic favorites

✔ Easy to share, gift, or enjoy without guilt

They remind us that food is meant to be part of the celebration — not the stress.

🌟 Want These in a Future HealthyMe Living Box?

Let me know! I love curating boxes that bring comfort, fun, and a sense of discovery, especially during the holidays. If any of these flavors caught your eye, I can try to work them into seasonal boxes or themed bundles. Or if you have any other suggestions throughout the year, I'd love to hear!

Wishing you the happiest, coziest, snackiest season.

Stay nourished, stay festive, and enjoy every bite. 🎁❄️✨
