After years of absence from supermarket shelves, Allen’s Peaches & Cream lollies are making a triumphant return just in time for the festive season. The beloved confectionery, which combines the fluffy sweetness of cream with the vibrant flavor of peach jelly, has garnered significant attention and strong demand from fans across Australia. With petitions circulating and thousands calling for its reintroduction, Allen's listened to the fans and has finally decided to respond.
Previously sold as part of Allen's party mix, Peaches & Cream lollies had not been available separately since 2019, much to the dismay of sweet lovers. A significant surge of requests for their return—more than one third of all requests received this year—has prompted the Australian confectionery giant to bring back this popular flavor. "We’re so excited to be bringing a fan favorite back just in time for summer fun, festive party games and to share with friends and family over the holidays," said Melanie Chen, Nestlé’s Head of Marketing Confectionery.
The story of the Peaches & Cream lollies’ return stretches back to mid-2020 when fans launched online campaigns and even created petitions to revive the treat. The Change.org petition titled ‘Bring back Allen's Peaches & Cream in their own packets’ managed to gather over 2,000 signatures, with passionate pleas echoing throughout social media. The creators expressed their grief over the loss and disappointment when they would only find one or two lollies buried within party bags filled with other flavors.
"I just don’t think these gummies are getting the recognition they deserve," one petitioner lamented. Many fans shared similar sentiments, emphasizing the unique taste of the Peaches & Cream combo, which they described as unmatched by any other candy on the market. While Allen's party mix still featured these lollies, fans just didn’t feel satisfied with the random, limited offerings. For them, only the full bag would suffice.
This demand did not go unnoticed. Allen's teased fans on social media, hinting at future possibilities and even promising to monitor the petition’s progress. It turns out the outpouring of love for the Peaches & Cream lollies has paid off, as the iconic treat is now available separately for $5 at Coles supermarket nationwide. Chen shared her enthusiasm about the return, emphasizing the nostalgia and joy the lollies bring during festive gatherings.
Fans couldn't hold back their excitement as the news broke. Social media platforms blew up with comments and posts celebrating what many are dubbing ‘Merry Peachmas.’ One fan even joked about how their Christmas was saved with just one announcement. The return of Peaches & Cream lollies isn't just about satisfying cravings; it signifies Allen's commitment to its loyal customer base.
The Peaches & Cream candy has always held a special place on the roster of Australian treats, beloved for its distinctive taste and texture. The fluffy cream base combined with the peachy jelly results in the perfect introduction between sweet and tart, hitting the spot for those who crave something delightful. This candy truly encapsulates summer vibes, making it the ideal centerpiece for family gatherings, beach outings, and other festive activities.
