A big box with something sweet is waiting under the tree.
Twinkies have been around for quite some time with their classic yellow sponge cake and vanilla filling. Of course, there have also been many innovative twists over the years. Who can forget the Ding Dongs x Twinkies mashup we saw this summer?
But even with all the different flavors we’ve seen so far (looking at you, strawberry, mint chocolate, and pumpkin spice), one thing is for sure. That said, the original is still strong. Walmart is reinforcing that fact by launching an extra-large holiday-inspired gift box containing the popular traditional Twinkie.
Walmart Limited Edition Twinkies Holiday Gift Box
Walmart will release a giant, 3-foot-long, limited-edition Twinkies holiday gift box at the end of November. The festive gift box includes 18 of his individually wrapped Twinkies and costs $13.97. This is a Walmart exclusive, so while supplies last, it’s only available at your local retailer or online.
The beginning of Twinkie
These American snack cakes from the iconic Hostess brand have been around since 1930, when bakery manager Jimmy Dewar first created them at Continental Baking Company in River Forest, Illinois.
The recipe for making Twinkies involves mixing the golden-brown batter and adding it to a metal pot to create the famous shape. It is then baked in the oven and infused with vanilla filling. Interestingly, the first filling for cakes was banana flavored and did not change to vanilla until World War II.
Since its inception, Twinkies have become a staple in American households. More than just a dessert, these snack cakes are perfect for when you’re craving something sweet. The combination of moist sponge cake and creamy bean paste is a sure-fire combination, and since they are individually wrapped, they are convenient to carry.
You don’t have to scour social media carefully to find commenters praising their favorite snack cakes. Instagram user tjleonard099 says, “My favorite snack is Twinkies Golden Sponge Girl Cake with a creamy filling!” On another of her Instagram posts on the original hostess_snacks, someone commented, “I know she’s 35 but at least she’s been eating this since she was 5.”
Walmart’s Limited Edition Twinkies Holiday Gift Box delivers holiday spirit, nostalgia, and everything you’re looking for in an original cake in a much larger box perfect for sharing.
