Hostess Teams Up With 7-Eleven For New Limited-Edition Twinkies

7-Eleven’s beloved Slurpee Day is coming up on July 11th and this year, there’s a whole new way to celebrate the unofficial and tasty holiday. Hostess has teamed up with 7-Eleven for the launch of a new, limited-edition Hostess Twinkie with Cherry Slurpee-flavored filling. The new flavor is available at 7-Eleven now ahead of Slurpee Day on July 11th.

According to Hostess, the new Cherry Slurpee Twinkie pairs the iconic Twinkie fluffy spongy cake with a lightly whipped Cherry Slurpee-flavored creme filling. The treats are available exclusively at 7-Eleven stores nationwide. They are available in a two-count single-serve package and will remain available (while supplies last) through mid-August making them a perfect summer treat — not just on Slurpee Day!

The new Twinkie with Slurpee-flavored filling is just the latest innovation from Hostess. Earlier this year, the brand launched their new Meltamors, a lava cake style treat that lets the melty center flow like lava after being warmed for just a few seconds in the microwave. This also isn’t the first time that Hostess has innovated with the Twinkie specifically. Last year, the brand offered mashups of their iconic favorite treats, including a mashup of the beloved Twinkies and equally beloved Ding Dongs.
