M&M’s is refreshing its annual red-and-green holiday blend with six limited-edition packs that put the Spokescandies into scenes from Elf, A Christmas Story, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, in partnership with Warner Bros. The packs began hitting retailer shelves in early November, and a Fandango Stream offer runs through the end of the year for shoppers who buy three packs.
Six packs feature classic holiday movie scenes
The collection includes six designs that place the Spokescandies into well-known moments from the three films. One shows the Orange, Blue, and Red characters in the frozen pole scene from A Christmas Story. Another has the Orange M&M lighting up a house in the style of Clark Griswold. Yellow and Green appear as Buddy the Elf and Jovie. The remaining packs recreate the movies’ iconic posters with Red, Orange, and Yellow.
Packs arrive alongside existing Marvel designs
The holiday movie packs are appearing in stores near M&M’s existing limited-edition Marvel collaboration packs. Those Marvel designs are already on shelves ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday release. The two collections sit together in the candy aisle during the early part of the holiday season. Availability varies by retailer, and both lines are expected to sell through while supplies last.
Fandango offer runs from November through December
Between November 1 and December 31, buying three Holiday Blend packs in one transaction yields a Fandango Stream promo code for Elf, A Christmas Story, or National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Shoppers upload a receipt photo for approval. Once approved, the code is issued and can be redeemed through a free Fandango account.
Receipt upload is required for the movie code
The promo requires a receipt photo of three qualifying packs bought together. Submissions are reviewed online, and approved users receive a Fandango Stream code for their selected movie. The offer is limited to one reward per receipt, with a maximum of three codes per household. Codes must be redeemed by January 31, 2027.
Collection targets holiday movie nights
M&M’s has positioned the packs as a natural companion for watching the three films. The red-and-green candies can be mixed into popcorn or used in desserts for a viewing party. The packaging itself is designed to be collected, with many shoppers expected to grab multiple designs for gatherings. The brand notes that the holiday blend already appears on many seasonal shopping lists multiple times.
Limited-edition packaging drives collection interest
Because the candy is unchanged, the main draw for many buyers is the packaging itself. The six designs feature different Spokescandies in movie-specific scenes and poster recreations. Collectors and hosts who want variety for parties can look for all six.
Timing aligns with early holiday shopping
Packs appeared in early November, allowing shoppers to stock up before peak holiday entertaining. They are alongside other seasonal candy already on shelves, providing a reason for households with leftover Halloween treats to make room. Retailers are expected to keep the collection stocked through the main shopping weeks of the season.
Promotion adds a practical incentive
In addition to the packaging, the Fandango Stream code provides the buyer with a one-to-one match of the candy to one of the movie that inspired it. The offer does not include any subscription, and will cover the whole window, starting from the beginning of November and ending at the end of December.
