Mars showcases how evolving treating behaviors and stretched seasons are shaping the future of snacking.
Mars, renowned for its array of beloved treats and snacks, is set to showcase its latest innovations at the upcoming Sweets & Snacks Expo. This event is pivotal for Mars as it highlights trends that are redefining snack consumption. On-site, attendees will have the chance to sample and explore new products that reflect changing consumer behaviors and seasonal celebrations.
Innovative Offerings from Iconic Brands
At the expo, Mars will be showcasing a variety of new products that cater to the diverse preferences of consumers today. As consumers have become more health-conscious, Mars is responding with better-for-you snack options. For example, there are exciting developments in nostalgic flavors and adventurous textures that speak to younger generations.
Featured Products at the Expo
Among the products debuting at the expo is the STARBURST GOODIES line. These gummy snacks are plant-based, containing only 4g of sugar per serving and a great source of fiber, inviting health-conscious consumers to indulge without guilt. Another exciting addition to the Mars lineup is the M&M'S Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor, which blends the classic taste of a PB&J sandwich into a delightful chocolate treat, ideal for snacking at any time.
The SKITTLES POP'D series has also tapped into the latest candy trend with its freeze-dried innovation, offering a unique crunch that pairs perfectly with the fruity flavors consumers love. SNICKERS, widely known for its satisfying combination of ingredients, has launched a Pecan version adding a nutty twist, along with festive SNICKERS Shapes that deliver classic taste in a holiday format.
Building on Trends of Extended Seasons
The growing trend of celebratory moments suggests that consumers are seeking to stretch seasonal joy into microseasons, such as Summerween and hybrid holidays. This changing landscape means that brands must also adapt their strategies to engage shoppers earlier in the season and keep them excited through various celebrations.
Mars emphasizes that with celebrations starting sooner and lasting longer, companies have an unprecedented opportunity to connect with customers and enhance shopping experiences, thereby boosting basket size and brand loyalty.

To delve deeper into these trends and innovations, attendees can join Tim LeBel, President of Sales at Mars Wrigley North America, at a panel discussion on how brands can effectively capitalize on extended celebrations to drive growth.
