Takis Zombie flavour comes back from the dead for Halloween

Takis is bringing back one of its most talked‑about seasonal launches

Takis Zombie is to return to UK shelves this Halloween, with its signature habanero chilli, cucumber and lime combination.

The limited-edition variant taps into strong consumer demand for intense flavours and retailer appetite for early, high‑impact Halloween activation.

Halloween continues to grow as a seasonal event, driven primarily by Gen Z and millennial shoppers – and snacks remain a core category, with consumers increasingly seeking out bold flavours and party‑ready formats.

POS rollout

Launching today (1 September) with the official pack reveal and POS rollout, the 2026 return will be supported by a full seasonal execution plan including horror movie night partnerships and themed creator content, whilst October will see tactical party sampling, social challenges and spooky secondary displays to maximise peak‑season visibility.

In‑store theatre will play a major role as well, with Takis Zombie supported by seasonal bays, FSDUs, clip strips and header cards designed to create standout moments across convenience and grocery.

Available in 55g pricemarked packs, 100g and 180g formats, the launch gives retailers a long run-up to capturing early Halloween spend and driving incremental value across the snacks category.
