The candy world isn’t usually all that mysterious.
Sometimes candies disappear for reasons nobody really understands, and sometimes they’re just plain hard to find. Sometimes they are temporarily discontinued, and other times, they are gone for good.
In this Let's Learn About Candy, we hope to answer a question that we have been asked repeatedly.
But in 2026, everyone’s been wondering: Did Just Born even make Teenie Beanee Jelly Beans this year or not?
Here’s what actually happened: in June, Just Born sent out a memo that said, “We’ve made the decision to pause production on some of the Jelly Bean items for Easter 2026. This decision will be reevaluated ahead of Easter 2027, with updates to be shared in advance.”
So, bottom line: Just Born DID make jelly beans, but Teenie Beanees WERE NOT made in 2026, they’re not officially discontinued, either, so let's all keep our fingers crossed!
That said, CandyFavorites.com still has the last of the Teenie Beanee “Americana Mix” Jelly Beans—but there aren’t many left.
Because way more people want them than we have to sell, we’re limiting purchases to 10 lbs. per customer—so everyone (or at least a few lucky folks) can still snag some for the holidays.
Ours are factory-fresh and have an expiration date of July 2026, so yes, these are as delicious as ever!
Now that the mystery’s cleared up, here’s hoping 2027 brings back this classic jelly bean for a sweeter Easter—after all, it’s been a holiday favorite for 48 years!
