The countdown to Easter has (somehow) already begun, and aside from cute pastel-colored outfits, lavish Easter dinners (or brunches!), and adorable bunny decorations, my personal favorite part about the holiday is indeed all the Easter candy.

Since you obviously want to stuff your friend’s and family’sEaster baskets with the best candies around, we’ve got the scoop on when Easter candy will hit shelves this year!

Good news for Easter candy fans: you can find a good selection on shelves right now. That’s right – popular Easter candy brands like Peeps and Cadbury notoriously release their seasonal goodies as early as January!

Things really ramp up after Valentine’s Day is all said and done, so you’ll start to see a wider selection post-February 14.

What are the most popular Easter candies?

Amazon

Per a study conducted by DoorDash last year, the “most popular” Easter candies include Reese’s Eggs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Starburst Jelly Beans, Hershey’s Kisses, Lindt Milk Chocolate Bunnies, and Peeps, among others.

Where can I buy Easter candy?

Polina Zimmerman / PEXELS

You can buy Easter candy at most big grocery stores like Target, Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, and Kroger, plus drug stores like CVS and Walgreens. Trader Joe's and Dollar General also sell some yummy Easter treats every year!

What is the #1selling candy at Easter?

Amazon

Per the same DoorDash study, Reese’s Eggs are the #1 selling candy at Easter – and I must agree! Aside from Cadbury Mini Eggs (the ones coated with a delicious candy shell) and Lindt bunnies (can you tell I'm a chocolate fiend?), Reese’s Eggs are my go-to Easter treat.

When does Easter candy go on sale?

Pavel Danilyuk / PEXELS

The day after Easter is typically when Easter candy goes on sale and you can buy it for a discounted price. This year, Easter falls on April 20, so you can expect Easter candy at your local grocery store to drop in price on April 21!

Trader Joe’s Just Dropped An Iconic Ice Cream Flavor, & Shoppers Are Buying 6 Pints At A Time

When I think of spring desserts, I immediately think of banana pudding. When I think of summer desserts, there’s no question that ice cream is the go-to. To help bridge the gap between this current spring and the coming summer season, Trader Joe’s just stocked their freezers with a treat that really delivers the best of both dessert worlds: Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream! And yes, I am freaking out about it!

More shoppers like me are clearly feeling the same way about Trader Joe's limited-time Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream – a few fans on social media shared they’re buying 6 pints at a time after "waiting all year.” This is definitely one of those TJ’s finds you’ll want to hunt down ASAP!

Scroll on for more about Trader Joe's seasonal Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream that just hit stores!

Trader Joe's

Sold by the pint, Trader Joe’s Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream is reminiscent of, well, actual banana pudding. It’s flavored with banana purée and immaculately accented not only with swirls of salted caramel, but bits of the signature vanilla wafer cookies you find in the OG dessert.

Trader Joe's

Trader Joe’s fan @traderjoestalia shared the returning ice cream flavor with their Instagram followers, and a handful of shoppers sounded off with excitement:

“The banana pudding ice cream ALWAYS gives me life,” one person commented.

“I have been waiting all year,” another said.

@traderjoestalia

Reddit also lit up after the Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream made its official comeback to Trader Joe’s. This thread asking for fans’ opinions on the new pint detailed the ice cream’s exact flavor and was fairly mixed in terms of reception.

Some people noted that the seasonal flavor “tastes like artificial bananas and nothing else” and has a “chemical aftertaste,” while others said it only has a “tiny bit of an artificial banana flavor, but nothing to be mad at.” Several users compared it to banana-flavored Laffy Taffy!

“Omg! I am so happy it is back! It is so delicious!!” one Redditor said. “I add fresh banana and strawberry slices. I can't wait to get some more!”

“I LOVE Banana anything and it's just so tasty. The one issue is that I eat it too fast,” another person said. “I just bought a container yesterday and it's already gone."

“Us southern folk down here recognize Blue Bell as the grand champion of banana pudding ice cream,” someone else commented. “However, I am willing to test this one....for science purposes & whatnot.”

Reddit

In my humble (and very dessert-loving) opinion, Trader Joe’s Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream is a must-try if you love ice cream of any kind. It boasts the perfect lineup of flavors for summertime, so it’s bound to be refreshing.

Reddit

One pint currently goes for $3.79 at TJ’s, but it’s only available for a limited time. I can’t wait to snag a few pints for myself to use for homemade ice cream sandwiches, affogatos (especially stoked on that one amid all the banana latte buzz), and simply shoveling spoonful after spoonful straight into my mouth!

Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, & Freddie Prinze Jr. Fight For Survival In The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Sequel

If you're a 90s movies (and horror movies) lover, you might agree that nothing beats an old school slasher. I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr., premiered in 1997, combines everything we love about coming of age movies — friends, summer vacation, and drama — with just enough terror to send a chill down your spine. And just like the original, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer features some of the hottest names in Hollywood.

Everything you need to know about the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel movie, coming to theaters July 18, 2025.

Watch the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' trailer now.

This is definitely not a relaxing summer vacation. For instance, Madelyn Cline's guided meditation bubble bath distracting her from the fact her boyfriend's getting murdered by a harpoon & hook? Yikes. The rest of the I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer shows the full crew escaping the mystery man hunting them — and enlisting the help of Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt).

Is there a 3rd I Know What You Did Last Summer?

Columbia Pictures

Yes, a brand new I Know What You Did Last Summer is coming to theaters this summer. But just because it's a new film doesn't mean it won't have plenty of nostalgia.

"There's lots of '90s in there, so get excited because the '90s are back again!" Jennifer Love Hewitt, who's returning for the movie, told People. "And there's lots of twists and turns. I don't think people are going to expect anything that's coming. It's a really fun ride."

"We approached it like super fans, so I think people are going to be really happy," writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson added. "All the things that you want to see in this movie, you're going to see in this movie."

Brook Rushton/Sony Pictures

In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, five friends accidentally cause a deadly car accident and agree to keep the secret forever. But when someone starts terrorizing them the next year, they reach out to Julie and Ray for help. And Jennifer Love Hewitt can't get enough of this new "phenomenal" cast!

"It's for them to make it their own and for me to stand by like a proud mom and say, 'It's yours now, take it and run and enjoy,'" she told People.

"When you get a group of young actors together, it can be a recipe for disaster oftentimes," Chase Sui Wonders added. "But everyone in this cast just brought it to the nth degree. We all got along so well. The chemistry between us was so fun and natural and seamless."

Do Revenge's Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is directing and co-writing alongside Sam Lansky.

The 'Ransom Canyon' Cast Spilled On Josh Duhamel's Hilarious On-Set Prank

Ransom Canyon might be all drama, but behind the scenes, the cast had a blast. Especially when filming that banquet scene in episode 2, because Josh Duhamel was attacking everyone with bread balls while the cameras were rolling.

"You think like, 'Oh he's a Blue Steel', no," Lizzy Greene tells Brit + Co in our Ransom Canyon interview. "In our big banquet scene in episode 2 while we were shooting, he was rolling up bread balls and flicking them at people. And, like, we're talking in the back of the shots! People would get hit in the hair and they turn around and nothing's there and he's over there giggling, flicking these things. He just wants to have fun."

Keep reading to see Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, & Andrew Liner adventures filming Ransom Canyon, streaming on Netflix now!

But the Ransom Canyon cast says Josh Duhamel's antics helped relieve a lot of stress. "When you're on hour 16 of shooting and you were just like dying and you're like on your second energy drink and then there's someone who's still energized and happy to be there," Lizzy Greene continues.

"There's so much pressure when you're going into this and we know this is Netflix, we're with Minka [Kelly] and Josh and that's big," Andrew Liner says. "And for him to kind of take the edge off for all of us was really gracious and really sweet. So he was a goofball and a jokester sometimes, it helped us feel comfortable and be natural and be able to give a performance that we deemed necessary."

And those performances are definitely memorable. The trio plays a group of high school students caught in a love triangle as they dream of better lives for themselves and their families. And naturally, we had to ask them what their favorite fictional love triangles are.

Lizzy immediately claims Edward, Jacob, and Bella from Twilight, which she describes as "teenage girl heaven."

"I loved it so much. I was a Jacob girl my whole life, whole life until I read all the books and I was like, oh yeah, it's actually Edward," she says. "However, New Moon is amazing and I do wish she would have just at least gotten together with him in New Moon and then maybe they, like, broke up later, but that's my two cents."

Garrett also chimes in with a popular YA series when he brings up The Hunger Games' Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, while Andrew takes a different route.

"One of my favorite movies is Nocturnal Animals," he says. "I think it's a very real — I mean hopefully not that real for you — but I love that one between Armie Hammer, and Jake Gyllenhaal, and Amy Adams."

Netflix

Despite the fact their characters are dealing with some serious drama, these castmates had some quality bonding time while filming. "We all grew up loving Pokemon and we had to go to Target and get all of our groceries and home essentials, and one day we stumble across Pokemon cards and we're like, 'Oh, wouldn't it be funny if we just got a pack?'" Andrew reveals. "And then we got addicted to buying Pokemon cards."

"I'm talking on a level that you will never, we can't even personify how much we probably fueled the economy in Albuquerque and that Target," Lizzy jokes.

Garrett agrees, saying, "If my wallet on me right now, I'd show you the Pokemon cards I have in my wallet. And I made [Andrew] an art piece and collaged Pokemon cards onto this big framed board."

While Pokemon are some cute little virtual creatures, they also got to interact with plenty of cute creatures IRL.

"We had cowboy camp, so we got to New Mexico early," Andrew says. "It ended up being 3 or 4 months of an intensive riding every day, learning to rope, learning to herd cattle, care of them so we didn't look like city kids on horses."

"I love my horse," Garrett adds. "I even got him tattooed on my leg." Talk about a memorable filming experience!
