Hey Candy Fans!
It’s not every day that we say goodbye to a candy legend, but today, we have some bittersweet news. Hershey Canada has announced the discontinuation of their iconic Cherry Blossom candy, a treat that’s been delighting fans for over 100 years.
While this news is tough to hear, we’re here to help you savor this nostalgic candy one last time and introduce you to even more sweet surprises.
Why Cherry Blossom Was So Special
Cherry Blossom wasn’t just another candy—it was a one-of-a-kind experience! This retro classic featured a juicy maraschino cherry in rich cherry syrup, covered in a blend of smooth chocolate, roasted peanuts, and shredded coconut.
Packaged in its signature yellow box, it was a staple on shelves for generations, earning a special spot in the hearts (and candy stashes) of fans everywhere.
The End of an Era
Hershey Canada has officially announced that production of Cherry Blossom candies will end in early 2025. While the exact reason hasn’t been shared, it’s clear that this classic is being retired. Whether you’re sad to see it go or ready to try something new, this is a moment for every candy lover to reflect on.

What is the history of Cherry Blossom Candy?
The Walter M. Lowney Company introduced Cherry Blossom candy in the 1890s in Montreal, Canada. After Lowney sold its Canadian operations, Hershey Canada took over production, maintaining its iconic yellow box and nostalgic charm. Loved by generations, it became a quintessential Canadian treat.
It’s a Chocolate Relic
Very few candies have stayed true to their original recipe and design for over a century. Cherry Blossom is a rare example of a treat that remained largely unchanged from its inception.
