Everyone loves a Christmas surprise, and these cheerful mini muffins stand out as an unexpected Little Debbie delight. The family-friendly carton comes with five perfectly portioned pouches, each holding four bite-sized treats. They're easy to open, and even easier to love. With one tear of the corner, you get fresh-baked notes of butter and vanilla. And when you take a bite, you might actually forget about the million things on your holiday to-do list for a moment.

Little Debbie Christmas Mini Muffins joined the holiday lineup in 2024, and they may be flying under your radar. In my area, they were the most widely available and well-stocked indulgence on our list. Sure, fast-food muffins can help get you through a season of hustle and bustle, but these cuties are even more convenient. Toss the pouches into work bags and school lunches (crumble-free), or unwrap and pile them onto a breakfast buffet. No, they're not gourmet. But for around $3, they're softly sweet and comforting, and I swear I caught hints of maraschino cherry. As one happy customer on Walmart.com put it: "These are so yummy!! [They] taste like mini pound cakes!! Well done, Little Debbie, well done!!"
