What are the two new Girl Scout cookie products launching in January, and what makes each unique?

The two new Girl Scout cookie products launching in January are Patch Pals and Sparkables. Patch Pals are the organization's first cookies for dogs—blueberry muffin-flavored treats developed in partnership with Bark, a New York-based dog treat and toy company, and sold online only. Sparkables are the Girl Scouts' first allergy-friendly cookie—a crunchy oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and colored sprinkles, developed with New Jersey-based Partake Foods, made in a facility that avoids nine major allergens including eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, tree nuts, and sesame, and also sold online only.

When and where will the new Girl Scout cookies be available, and how do they fit into the broader cookie program?

Patch Pals and Sparkables will go on sale in January as part of the annual Girl Scout cookie season, which generally runs from January to April, varying by local area. Both products will be sold online only—neither will be available via traditional door-to-door or booth sales. They join longtime favorites like Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs in the official lineup. The new cookies were inspired by Girl Scouts who wanted to ensure more people—and pets—could participate in the century-old cookie program, which began in 1917 and now sells around 200 million cookies annually.
