Might have to wait till Christmas to taste latest Oreo tie-in. But maybe it’s worth it?

Though there already are many Oreo-related products, such as these in the collection of Fresno Grizzlies marketing guru Sam Hansen, a new creation is expected to be introduced this Christmas holiday season called the Oreo Cookies & Crème Candy Canes.

What do you get when you mix Oreos and candy canes?

Christmas bliss, apparently.

Take a look at the newest creation, with the junk food Instagram account Candy Hunting revealing Oreo Cookies & Creme Candy Canes that will be introduced this holiday season.

Let the countdown to Christmas begin.

Just half a year to go.

Candy Hunting isn’t convinced they’ll taste like Oreos.

“Christmas preview: New Oreo Cookies & Creme candy canes!” the Candy Hunting Instagram post read. “I highly doubt these will taste like Oreos, but hey, why not brand everything with Oreo to boost sales?"

Nabisco, Oreo’s parent company, has not confirmed the release date of the holiday treat.

Introduced in 1912, Oreos currently are associated with at least 59 total products, ranging from the original to “Birthday Cake Flavor Creme Chocolate” sandwich cookies. A limited edition candy cane Oreo came out in 2008.

According to a Quartz Media article in 2015, more than $2.5 billions of Oreos were sold in 2014.
