The Oscar-nominated documentary “Food, Inc” helped change the way many consumers think about the systems behind the things we eat.

With Easter right around the corner, many seasonal treats are starting to hit store shelves.

Whenever I hear the name Peeps, my initial reaction is always the same: why?

According to a news report from Delish, we won’t be able to enjoy Halloween or Christmas Peeps this year due to the impact the pandemic has had on Just Born’s operations, the company behind Peeps. Back in late March, the marshmallow treats were still released in time for Easter, but production was halted for several weeks. Just Born issued this statement to Delish on why the seasonal Peeps won’t be available this year for the Halloween and Christmas holidays. This situation resulted in us having to make the difficult decision to forego production of our seasonal candies for Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day in order to focus on meeting the expected overwhelming demand for PEEPS® for next Easter season, as well as our everyday candies.”Seasonal Peeps will return to stores in 2021 after Valentine’s Day, according to Delish’s report. This will allow the company to get an early start on Easter production as well.
