It’s time to Unlock Playfulness as OREO and Xbox collide in a much-anticipated collaboration. The world’s number one cookie, OREO, and international gaming giant, Xbox, are on a mission to bring shoppers together through playful experiences.

To celebrate the partnership, the iconic black and white OREO cookie will be transformed to pay homage to the Xbox controller – with six embossed OREO Xbox Special Edition cookies available to order in January 2023.

By scanning the OREO Xbox Special Edition cookies or entering the bar code from any participating pack, shoppers can revel in exclusive OREO-themed in-game content across three of Xbox’s top-played games, including an OREO "Parade Ground" Armour Coating in Halo Infinite, an OREO "Valiant Corsair" Sail Set in Sea of Thieves and an OREO Edition "2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster" in Forza Horizon 5.

In addition, there will be thousands of prizes available over the promotional period, such as Xbox Series S consoles, Xbox Stereo Headsets and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. All entries will go into a grand prize draw for the chance to win a family holiday to California.

“At OREO, we love to surprise our consumers with new, fun activations that get them excited” said Rafael Espesani, Senior Brand Manager, OREO. “This year, we’re delighted to partner with Xbox in a creative collaboration that will see the worlds of snacking and gaming coming together for an exciting campaign that will include the release of limited edition cookies and chances to win amazing prizes. This partnership is set to bring people together as they unlock playfulness with friends and family.”

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
