Just Born Quality Confections , the company that produces Peeps, says its holiday-themed marshmallow treats will not be in Halloween candy baskets this year -- and they won't be in stores for Christmas, either. Halloween Peeps -- which are shaped like pumpkins, ghosts and monsters -- and Christmas Peeps will not return to stores until 2021. Peeps pumpkins will not be available this Halloween. The suspension was done to protect the health and safety of their employees during the coronavirus pandemic, Just Born said in a statement to CNN. The company said it resumed limited production in May after making changes in its plant to ensure employee safety.
