Kraft is bringing Cinnamon Roll Mac & Cheese to Walmart for the 2026 holiday season, combining its signature cheesy pasta with cinnamon-inspired flavor. The company announced the limited-edition release on Monday, November 2, and yes, cinnamon rolls and macaroni and cheese are officially sharing the same box.
The new flavor takes everything people recognize about Kraft’s classic macaroni and adds a twist inspired by the popular breakfast pastry. According to the company, the combination delivers a “creamy, slightly tangy bite,” mixing cinnamon notes with the familiar cheese flavor. Instead of replacing the cheese, Kraft is giving it a completely different flavor profile.
Anyone expecting an actual cinnamon roll covered in icing should know this is still packaged as macaroni and cheese. The inspiration comes from the pastry’s flavor, not a traditional dessert presentation. Kraft hasn’t provided enough detail to say exactly how sweet the finished pasta tastes.
Cinnamon Roll Mac & Cheese is available exclusively at Walmart for a limited time. The company hasn’t announced an official end date or suggested retail price, so shoppers will need to check availability through Walmart. This is a seasonal release rather than a permanent addition to Kraft’s regular lineup.
The combination might sound unusual, especially since macaroni and cheese is typically served as a savory dish. Cinnamon rolls, meanwhile, are known for their warm spice, sweetness, and rich icing. Kraft is bringing those two familiar comfort foods into the same conversation without giving up the cheese that made its original product famous.
The Cinnamon Roll Mac & Cheese launch also comes with another new flavor, Chili Crisp Mac & Cheese. While the cinnamon version leans toward the sweeter side, Chili Crisp brings a spicy kick inspired by the popular condiment commonly used on noodles, rice, and other dishes.
According to Kraft, chili crisp has experienced a 923% increase in appearances on U.S. restaurant menus over the past four years. The company’s Chili Crisp variety is available at Meijer, Walmart, Amazon, and additional retailers for a limited time.

Kraft has experimented with dessert-inspired macaroni before. In November 2025, the company introduced Apple Pie Mac & Cheese ahead of Thanksgiving, combining its creamy cheese flavor with cinnamon and tart green apple notes.
That release was inspired partly by the longstanding tradition of serving cheddar cheese with apple pie. Kraft even recruited “American Pie” actor Jason Biggs for its promotional campaign. The Apple Pie version was sold through Walmart’s website, making the retailer a familiar destination for the brand’s more unexpected flavors.
The Cinnamon Roll Mac & Cheese release builds on that idea, but leaves the fruit out of the equation.
Kraft’s history with unusual combinations goes back even further. In 2024, the brand released Everything Bagel Mac & Cheese after the flavor won its Fan Flavorites program. In 2020, Kraft also promoted a pumpkin spice version featuring cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
The company has continued expanding its options throughout 2026. Recent additions include Parmesan Pesto, Romano Cacio e Pepe, and Monterey Jack Caramelized Onion, offering restaurant-inspired flavors for people preparing meals at home.
Kraft also introduced PowerMac, which offers additional protein and fiber for shoppers looking for something beyond its traditional recipe.
And the company isn’t stopping at macaroni. Kraft plans to enter the ramen category in early 2027 with Cheesy Ramen in Spicy, Chicken, and Pork flavors. The company described the upcoming products as bringing “the familiar cheesy taste fans have loved for nearly 90 years to the ramen aisle in an entirely new format.”
For now, the holiday spotlight belongs to Cinnamon Roll Mac & Cheese. Kraft has taken two foods that usually occupy very different places on the menu and combined their flavors into one limited-edition box.
