Not only is the marshmallow treat offering holly-jolly flavors, but they are also taking to the internet to offer recipes and ideas that utilize their holiday versions.

For example, they showcase a "hot chocolate board" that utilizes Peeps gingerbread men, Peeps candy cane chicks, Peeps snowmen, wafer cookies, hot chocolate mix and whipped cream.
