Cinnamon Bun Oreos are finally coming back
Fans who have been waiting years for Cinnamon Bun Oreos won't have to wait much longer.
The limited-edition flavor, long discontinued in the U.S., ranks among Oreo's top 10 most-requested returns, the company said. Its comeback comes amid a steady rollout of new and nostalgia-driven releases this summer, including a recent BTS collaboration.
When will Cinnamon Bun Oreos be available?
Limited-edition Cinnamon Bun Oreo cookies will begin rolling out to retailers nationwide July 6, according to the company. The cookies will be available for a limited time while supplies last.
The returning variety features cinnamon-flavored chocolate wafers paired with cinnamon bun-flavored creme, designed to mimic the taste of the classic pastry.
Why are Cinnamon Bun Oreos returning?
The cookies have been off U.S. shelves for about a decade, though they remained available in Canada, where some American fans sought out imported packs online.
Their return follows Oreo's broader push to revive fan-favorite flavors. Earlier this year, the company invited customers to vote on discontinued varieties they wanted to see return as part of its "Oreoverse" campaign, though Oreo has not said whether that effort directly influenced the Cinnamon Bun comeback.
When the cookies first debuted, fans compared them to cinnamon cereal and bakery-style rolls, helping the flavor build a devoted following before it was discontinued.
Oreo's busy summer of new flavors
Cinnamon Bun joins a growing lineup of limited-time Oreo releases.
Earlier this summer, Oreo introduced Firecracker Pop cookies featuring popping candy and red, white and blue creme ahead of Independence Day. More recently, the brand partnered with BTS on a hotteok-inspired Brown Sugar Pancake Oreo.
The collaboration includes cookies designed by RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, along with 13 unique embossments celebrating the group's anniversary and fanbase.
