According to this list, the two most popular Christmas candies are M&Ms and Pez. Who doesn’t love a bowl of colorful red and green M&Ms during the holidays? A bowl on the table is hard to resist. No one would be the wiser if you took a few. The chocolate covered with a candy shell is one of the most iconic candies. When that candy dons its festive colors, it makes it perfect for the holiday season.
The other most popular Christmas candy is slightly more unusual. Pez ties M&Ms for the most popular candy choice. Many people choose Pez for the iconic Pez containers. These popular Pez containers can make great stocking stuffers. From Santa to reindeer, the containers are just as festive as the candy.
The third most popular Christmas candy is the candy cane. From decorating the tree to flavoring a dessert, candy canes are everywhere during the holiday season. Over the years, candy cane flavors have evolved. From fruit flavors to the extremely odd pickle flavor, the classic peppermint candy isn’t the only one in Santa’s bag.
