Oreo has officially turned Thanksgiving dinner into dessert. The cookie giant just launched a limited-edition 12-count cookie tin featuring six flavors inspired by classic Thanksgiving dishes—and it might just be Oreo's weirdest collection yet.

The lineup sounds more like a holiday menu than a cookie box. Flavors include turkey and stuffing, creamed corn, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, caramel apple pie and pumpkin pie. Yep, we're also thinking Willy Wonka's flavor changing gum. The collection is available exclusively online, and you get two of each flavor in a collectible Oreo-shaped tin.

At first glance, it feels like a culinary dare because, yes, one of the included cookies is turkey and stuffing flavored, which sounds downright bizarre. But this is Oreo, a brand that’s built an empire on experimentation. From blueberry pie to churro and cotton candy, Oreo thrives on blurring the line between snack and spectacle.

Speaking of spectacle: it's not just about the cookie but about the way it is presented as well. Each treat is coated in a fudge shell designed to match its namesake. The pumpkin pie version, for example, leans classic with pumpkin-flavored fudge and white icing. The caramel apple pie is sweet and nostalgic, like autumn in one bite. But then there’s the curveball: turkey and stuffing, described as covered in “savory turkey fudge.” Just think about that for a bit.

Fans are, predictably, reacting with a feast of hot takes. When snack reviewer @snackolator posted the release on Instagram, comments ranged from “Immediately purchased” to “Who asked for this? Straight to jail.” One user summed it up best: “Gross but I’m here for it.”

Others are less amused, calling the savory flavors “a hard pass.” One fan wrote, “I want the tin, but I’m afraid of the cookies.” Another kept it short and sweet (or maybe bitter): “Yuck.” Still, curiosity is winning out, as many fans admit they can’t resist ordering the collection just to see how weird it gets.

If you’re more cautious, Oreo’s offering a safer route, selling individual six-packs of the caramel apple pie and pumpkin pie flavors for $14.99 each. These dessert-inspired picks are available separately, and for good reason: they’re probably the least likely to traumatize your taste buds.

The biggest gripe so far isn’t about flavor though, it’s about shipping. With costs reportedly hitting over $20 in some cases, fans are questioning why these cookies aren’t in stores. Still, exclusivity is part of the appeal.
