I’m about a month away from baking a stupid amount of cookies for Christmas, but it’s still early enough in the post-Halloween period where I feel like it’s OK to buy seasonal cookies. ([Those Pepperidge Farm Milano Espresso Martini cookies are fantastic.](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-milano-espresso-martini/)) Buying a package of **Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hot Cocoa** cookies was a no-brainer move when I saw them on display at Walgreens last week.

“We know that our consumers love limited-edition treats especially for the holidays, so we wanted to bring back a classic this season,” Jainette Quinones, Chips Ahoy! brand manager of innovation, [said when the company brought back the flavor for the first time in eight years in 2024](https://www.snackandbakery.com/articles/112316-chips-ahoy-returns-hot-cocoa-flavor-to-shelf-after-8-years?ref=theomnicosm.com). “Our Holiday Edition Hot Cocoa Cookies take a twist on the beloved winter treat, and we hope everyone loves it.”

### Chips Ahoy! update

Before we discuss Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hot Cocoa, I have an important update on Chips Ahoy! Mystery Cookies. [The mystery flavor stumped me when I reviewed them in July](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology-review-chips-ahoy-mystery-cookies/). I enjoyed them, but I couldn’t place the flavor.

[Chips Ahoy! revealed last week](https://www.instagram.com/p/DfLT6vRkUWj/?ref=theomnicosm.com) that the mystery flavor was Cake Batter Bytes.

Huh. Well, that’s certainly not something I expected. I’m not sure who would’ve gotten the “Bytes” part, even with Chips Ahoy! talking about how the limited-edition flavor “glitched into our world from another dimension.”

### What they cost

I paid **$7.29** at Walgreens for a 9.9 oz. package of Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hot Cocoa. It feels like they jacked up the price, though, since I’m seeing these cookies on sale for $4.79 at Kroger stores, marked down from $5.79.

### My thoughts

If my memory serves me, I bought a package of Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hot Cocoa cookies last year and absolutely loved them. It might have even been in 2024 when Nabisco brought them back, since **Snackology** didn’t review them in 2025.

But I’m thrilled they’re back! This is a top-tier limited-edition Chips Ahoy! flavor, and I’m glad to see it become an annual thing.

I’m not always a Chips Ahoy! Chewy guy. The texture doesn’t work with every flavor, but it really serves the Hot Cocoa variety well here. This is a chocolate cookie with fudge filling and both chocolate and marshmallow chips. 

You’ll probably eat one of these cookies in one or two bites, but every bite is packed with the essential elements that go into delivering the hot cocoa experience in cookie form.
