Candy sweepstakes ties in social media and novelty Grinch-themed holiday packaging of the classic Hershey's Kisses.

The Hershey’s Kisses brand and Dr. Seuss‘s The Grinch have joined forces to create a partnership that “reflects all that the holidays have to offer.”

“Naughty or nice, everyone — including the Grinch — deserves a little holiday cheer,” said Joe Gibilisco, manager of Holiday for Hershey’s, “and that’s where the Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates with Grinch Foils come in.”

Plus, starting now through Dec. 8, fans nationwide also have the chance to get “Grinched” by by visiting @hersheys on Instagram and Twitter and reply or comment #GrinchKisses and #Sweepstakes on the designated Grinch posts for the chance to win free bags of the sought-after sweets.

“The Grinch always has something up his sleeve, and this year it’s a seriously fun collaboration with the Hershey’s Kisses brand,” said Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. “In celebration of the first-ever partnership between our two iconic brands, we wanted to introduce a little holiday Grinch-y mischief and let our fans get in on the fun!”

Hershey’s Kisses and Dr. Seuss’s The Grinch — both known for spreading holiday cheer — have partnered this holiday season to make the most wonderful time of year that much more special with limited-edition Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates with Grinch Foils. Available exclusively for the holiday season, the new treats feature 10 different candy foils including the “Grinch’s up-to-something smirk, classic Grinch sayings and of course Max’s adorable floppy ears.”

As part of the partnership, chocolate lovers can visit Hershey’s Chocolate World attractions in Hershey, Pa.; New York City and Las Vegas to be immersed in the “Grinch-y mischief and enjoy décor galore, photo opportunities, an Amazing Candy Machine stuffed with the new Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates with Grinch foils and more!” Festivities will last through the rest of the holiday season at locations nationwide.
