Holiday M&Ms are Special, Limited Time only M&Ms that come only during the holidays. There are many different holiday M&Ms, Such as Harvest/Halloween M&Ms, Christmas/winter M&MS, Valentines day M&MS, Easter/spring time M&Ms, and even Fourth of July M&Ms! They are usually the different M&M flavors with colors for the season, such as pink, red and white M&Ms for valentines day. They are usually only found in larger bags, but sometimes they can be found in single serve or King size bags. Sometimes a new flavor is introduced during the holidays! :)
