Girl Scout Cookie Season Starts Today — and 2 Flavors Will Be Retired After This Year (Exclusive)

Girl Scout cookie season has officially begun!

On Tuesday, January 7, the Girl Scouts kicked off the 2025 cookie season. And for the first time, they’re revealing which cookies will be phased out after this year, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

Two popular flavors, Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay!, will be available one last time this year before being retired for the 2026 cookie season.

S’mores combine graham crackers with chocolate marshmallow filling, while Toast-Yay! contains French toast-flavored treats dipped in frosting.

Of course, cookie fans can also look forward to the return of classics like Thin Mints, Samoas (or Caramel deLites), Tagalongs (or Peanut Butter Patties) and other longtime favorites.

There are no new cookies this season.

In 2023, the company introduced the Raspberry Rally, but later decided to discontinue the fruity newcomer.

Launched as a “sister cookie” to Thin Mints, they were only available online. A crunchy raspberry-flavored, chocolate-dipped cookie has appeared on eBay after selling out on the official Girl Scout website within two months of its release. Individual packs cost $25 and up, and some sellers bundled 20 packs together for more than $450.

At the time, the Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) said they were “disappointed” by the “unauthorized resale,” in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

The organization continues to encourage girls to develop entrepreneurial skills through their cookie program, including goal setting and money management.

Every box of cookies sold helps a girl take the next step toward becoming a confident leader, and sales during Cookie Season help in creating exciting opportunities for girls and their troops throughout the year.”
