There is another shortage ahead of this holiday week - candy canes!

The announcement comes as another result of the supply chain issues that have been a problem for months in the country.

Plus, the production of peppermint in the United States has dropped about 25% in the last decade, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Many stores received low inventory and sold out quickly.
