KIT KAT® Brand Debuts First-Ever Seasonal Shape: KIT KAT® Santas

KIT KAT ® will give photo seekers visiting Santa a delicious break from tradition this holiday season

HERSHEY, Pa. , Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Santa Claus deserves a break, and thanks to KIT KAT®, he's getting one this year with the launch of its first-ever seasonal shape - KIT KAT® Santas! Available for a limited time only, this new KIT KAT® treat is a festive addition to the brand's product lineup that is adorned with imprinted boots, a jolly smile and an even crispier wafer-to-chocolate ratio than a traditional KIT KAT® bar.

Each holiday season, holiday-goers wait in long lines to meet Santa, only to receive a less than exciting reward from him in return: peppermint. Not anymore. To celebrate the rollout of the new Santa shape and make the holidays even more joyful, KIT KAT® is partnering with Simon Property Group to give memory makers visiting Santa across the country a free KIT KAT® Santa for being on the 'Nice List.'

On Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8, KIT KAT® Santas will be available at the "Santa Photo Experience" at the following Simon properties:

"Our first-ever shape, KIT KAT® Santas, builds on the KIT KAT® brand's product portfolio to offer a new way to bring fun to consumers," said Scott Sorensen, Associate Manager, KIT KAT®. "With an even crispier wafer-to-chocolate ratio, this seasonal twist on our traditional KIT KAT® bar is sure to become a newfound annual ritual, giving fans a taste of more of what's to come from the brand."

KIT KAT® Santas are available now at nationwide retailers in 8.85oz snack size bags – just in time for Santa to head down the chimney! Fans can visit @KITKAT_US on social media and Hersheyland.com for more information on the brand's full slate of limited edition and permanent KIT KAT® bar flavors, such as Vanilla, Birthday Cake, and Dark Chocolate.
