Viral Little Debbie holiday favourite finally returns to Walmart
Little Debbie has brought back its iconic, over-the-top Christmas decoration—and Walmart shoppers are going wild for it on social media.
You may already be aware, but for the last four decades, sweet treat fiends have been stocking up on multiple boxes of Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes.
For anyone outside of the United States, imagine icing-coated yellow sponge cakes filled with creme filling and finished with green sprinkles and red icing garlands.
In other words: absolutely mouthwatering.

The season staple is so revered that, over the years, Little Debbie has expanded into a booming line of Christmas Tree Cakes merch.
The brand routinely puts everything on sale, from tote bags to coffee creamers, scented candles, and even oversized festive decorations.
And now Walmart shoppers will be pleased to hear that for 2026, the legacy company has brought back a cult favourite item specifically designed to sit in your yard.
Eagle-eyed shoppers have discovered the 4.5 feet Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes-inspired yard inflatable is back at certain Walmart stores.
The illuminated decoration, priced at under $30, is designed exactly like the moreish delight, sprinkles and all.
The bizarrely nicknamed ‘Giant Deborah’ has been known to fly off the shelves well before December, with many already questioning if they should spend their hard-earned cash on the kitsch item.
“Omg! I got to get my husband loves these Christmas trees lol we need theses for the yard lol,” commented one TikTok fan.
Another said: “I’m gonna get one.”
“Bought our white one yesterday,” remarked someone else.
Last year, shoppers could pick up a garangutan 7ft Little Debbit Christmas Tree Cakes inflatable in either a vanilla or chocolate-inspired colourway.
Sadly, fans have yet to find the mammoth item at Walmart, with the supermarket chain listing both as out of stock.
However, there’s still time for dreams to come true.
In the meantime, there are Christmas Tree Cakes-inspired ornaments on sale for less than $5; a necktie for $21.11; a branded blanket priced at $34.99; and dangly earrings inspired by other treats for $19.99.
McKee Foods, the parent company of Little Debbie, told USA TODAY that its holiday snack lineup can be picked up from major grocery retailers, mass merchandise stores and convenience stops in mid-October.
It’s expected that as well as Christmas Tree Cakes returning, stores will stock Christmas Tree Brownies, North Pole Nutty Buddy Wafer Bars, Cherry Cordials and Gingerbread Cookies.
There are also two new products being added to the line-up: Hot Cocao Mini Muffins and a big pack of Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts.
The former is bursting with rich chocolate pieces and toasty marshmallow-flavoured bits, while the swet glaze donuts, finished with festive red and green sprinkles, come with a ‘satisfyingly crispy edge’.
"The holiday season is all about tradition, togetherness, and savoring life's simple pleasures," McKee Foods said in a news release.
"With the addition of our new Hot Cocoa Mini Muffins and Big Pack Christmas Old Fashioned Donuts alongside iconic favorites like Christmas Tree Cakes, we are thrilled to offer families even more ways to share sweet holiday cheer this year.”
