Nestlé-owned coffee creamer brand Coffee Mate has unveiled a range of new products.
The first new product, a Kit Kat-flavoured creamer, was made in partnership with confectioner Hershey and brings the popular chocolate bar to consumers’ cups, with an indulgent chocolate, wafer-forward flavour.
The brand also introduced two new seasonal iced coffees, Pumpkin Spice – with notes of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg – and Peppermint Mocha flavour varieties.
Coffee Mate has also launched two new seasonal flavoured coffee creamers, Caramel Apple Crisp and Zero Sugar White Chocolate Peppermint. The Caramel Apple Crisp creamer provides a flavour of sweet baked apples and cinnamon spice, combined with milky coffee notes and caramel.
The Nestlé-owned brand is also bringing back some of its popular seasonal creamers, with Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint Mocha and Nestlé Toll House Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie, making their return.
This is the latest in a number of innovations from Coffee Mate. In March, the brand introduced a new Dirty Soda creamer, designed specifically to accompany soda brand Dr Pepper, while last year saw the launch of a pink-coloured coffee creamer, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the film Mean Girls. 2023 also saw it introduce a breakfast-inspired creamer in partnership with Kellogg's Eggo brand and, in October, it launched its first line of iced coffees in the US.
