Key takeaways
  • You almost certainly cannot buy mint M&M’s chocolates in the US today. Checked on 29 August 2026: Mars’s own store lists 30 flavors and none is mint, every first-party mint listing at Walmart is out of stock, Target returns no mint M&M’s at all, and neither does Amazon.
  • The new one is Mint Crunchy Cookie, exclusive to Walmart, arriving in September. Walmart already lists the 2.83 oz bag at $2.78 — 98.2 cents an ounce — but it was still showing out of stock when this was written.
  • One M&M’s mint item was actually buyable: a four-box pack of mint chocolate candy canes at $20.99. Those are hard candy, not the chocolate lentils most people mean, and the single-box listing beside it costs more per ounce while being out of stock.
  • Mint is a Q4 flavor for this brand. Halloween and pumpkin pie M&M’s are already stocked; the mint range is built around Christmas, which is why late August is the worst moment of the year to go looking.

If you are here because a search result promised you mint M&M’s, the honest answer is that most of those pages are pointing at listings that stopped working months ago.

Here is what five retailers actually had on 29 August 2026.

Can you buy mint M&M’s in the US right now?

Essentially no — not the chocolate ones. Every surface checked either does not list a mint M&M’s product at all or lists it as out of stock:

WhereWhat it has today
mms.com (Mars)30 flavors listed, none mint. Halloween and pumpkin pie are stocked
WalmartEvery first-party mint listing out of stock; one candy-cane multipack available
Target32 results for “m&m’s mint”, not one of them a mint M&M’s
AmazonNo mint M&M’s in results, including a search on the exact product name
eBay38 results, none of them candy

Mars’s own store is the clearest signal. Its flavors page shows every product it sells — the footer says “Showing 30 out of 30” — and the list runs from summer red-white-and-blue through pumpkin pie and three Halloween bags to peanut butter, caramel, pretzel and almond. Mint is not on it.

Is the mint M&M’s page gone, or just sold out?

It is a real product page that Mars is currently redirecting, not a dead link. Asking for the Holiday Mint product URL on mms.com lands you on the general flavors listing instead. That alone would not tell you much — plenty of sites bounce every unknown URL somewhere friendly — so it is worth knowing that a made-up product URL on the same site returns a plain “Page not found” page.

The site distinguishes between the two. Mint has a page; Mars is just sending you to what it can sell you today.

It is milk chocolate and mint around a crunchy cookie centre, launching exclusively at Walmart in September 2026. An M&M’s spokesperson gave that detail to Daily Voice on 17 August, naming the month but no specific day. Two sizes were announced, 2.83 oz and 7.4 oz.

Walmart is already carrying the listing ahead of the launch. The 2.83 oz bag has a price on it — $2.78, or 98.2 cents an ounce — and was still marked out of stock when this was written. The 7.4 oz bag does not have a listing yet.

That price is the most useful number on this page, because it is the one you will most likely pay in a few weeks’ time, and it is coming from Walmart rather than from a press release.

How much do mint M&M’s cost?

The only mint M&M’s item you could actually put in a cart was $20.99, and it is not chocolate. These were the mint prices attached to real M&M’s listings:

ProductSizePriceStock
Mint Crunchy Cookie2.83 oz$2.78Out of stock
Mint Chocolate Christmas Candies, 2-pack9.2 oz each$7.92Out of stock
Mint Chocolate Candy Canes, single box5.3 oz$14.20Out of stock
Mint Chocolate Candy Canes, 4 boxes21.2 oz total$20.99Available

Two things are worth pulling out of that table. On a per-ounce basis the four-box pack is 99 cents against $2.68 for the single box sitting next to it — so the out-of-stock listing is also the expensive one, and being unavailable is not what makes it a bad deal. And a mint chocolate candy cane is hard candy on a stick. If you came looking for the green chocolate lentils, that is a different product and none were in stock anywhere.

For comparison, Hershey’s chocolate mint candy canes were in stock at Walmart for $7.99, marked down from $10.99. If it is the mint-and-chocolate combination you want rather than the M&M’s brand specifically, that gap is large.

Why are mint M&M’s so hard to find in August?

Because mint is a Christmas flavor for this brand, and the shelves are currently full of the Halloween one. The mint range is named for the season it belongs to: Holiday Mint Chocolate Christmas Candies, mint chocolate candy canes. Mars’s own store, meanwhile, is already selling three Halloween bags and a pumpkin pie flavor.

Late August is the trough. The Christmas range has not shipped and last year’s has long since sold through, so the listings survive while the stock does not. That is also why so many “where to buy mint M&M’s” pages look authoritative and send you nowhere — they were written when the product was in season and never re-checked.

What should you avoid buying by mistake?

Three near-misses account for most of the wrong purchases here. The first is the regular Crunchy Cookie M&M’s, which has been on sale since 2022 and is in stock in a 7.4 oz bag. It sits directly beside the mint version in Walmart’s search results and the names differ by one word.

The second is on eBay, where searching mint returns collectibles graded as being in mint condition and products made by Danbury Mint — a 2006 print advertisement, a coin bank, a collector clock. None of it is edible.

The third is the British import. Searching mint M&M’s at Walmart surfaces several M&S products — Marks & Spencer butter mints, mint humbugs, extra strong mints — at $28 to $33 for a three-pack. The initials look close enough in a list of search results to catch someone moving quickly.

What is the best way to catch the September launch?

Watch the Walmart listing rather than a candy news site, because the listing is already live and will simply change state. The 2.83 oz Mint Crunchy Cookie page exists now, carries its price, and says out of stock; when the shipment lands, that page is what changes.

Since the flavor is a Walmart exclusive, there is no second retailer to check, and no announced day to wait for — only the month. If it matters to you, the listing is worth a look from the start of September rather than a specific date, and this page will be re-checked then.

How we verified this

Every stock and price claim was read off the retailer’s live page on 29 August 2026, not taken from a shopping aggregator. Surfaces checked: mms.com (Mars’s own US store), Walmart search and individual product pages, Target search, Amazon search, and eBay.

🔴 The out-of-stock finding was tested against a control, because a redirect on its own proves nothing. The Holiday Mint product URL on mms.com redirects to the general flavors listing, which could mean either “delisted” or “this site redirects everything”. A deliberately invented product URL on the same site returns “Page not found | M&M’S” instead, so the site does discriminate: the mint page is a real URL Mars is currently bouncing to what it can sell. Note that curl returns 403 for both the real and the invented URL — the control has no discriminating power through that tool, and this was checked in a browser for that reason.

⚠️ The prices shown on an out-of-stock Walmart page are not that product’s price. The Dark Chocolate Mint page renders a row of “$5.97” and similar figures directly under the out-of-stock notice; those belong to the substitute items Walmart suggests. Only the $2.78 for Mint Crunchy Cookie and $14.20 for the candy-cane box are attached to the mint products themselves.

⚠️ eBay is not a fallback here, despite what its result count suggests. Its 38 results for “m&m’s mint chocolate” contain no mint M&M’s candy: the matches are a 2006 print advertisement, collectibles described as being in mint condition, and items from a brand called Danbury Mint. The word is doing three different jobs in one result page.

⚠️ Target’s result grid loads after the page does. A first read returned an empty grid, which would have supported “Target has none” for the wrong reason. Re-read after the grid rendered, Target reports 32 results for “m&m’s mint” and none of them is a mint M&M’s product — the mint matches are third-party peppermint gift tins.

⚠️ No launch day exists to report. The source for September is an M&M’s spokesperson quoted by Daily Voice on 17 August 2026, who gave the month and no date. Nothing here estimates one.
