U.S. Distributors Are Loving Canadian Freeze-Dried Candy — Here’s Why

It started with a few TikToks. Then a surge of curious customers. Now? Distributors across the U.S. are racing to add Canadian freeze-dried candy to their snack portfolios—and Spaceman is leading the charge.

If you're a distributor supplying convenience stores, retail chains, specialty snack shops, or ecommerce resellers, here's why it’s time to bring in a product that’s already proving itself north of the border.

Freeze-Dried Candy is the Next Big Thing (and It's Already Blowing Up)

From gas stations in Texas to boutique stores in California, freeze-dried candy is getting serious traction—and fast. Why?

  • It's new, fun, and visually wild — the kind of snack that turns heads and triggers impulse buys.

  • It doesn’t melt — no refrigeration, no sticky mess.

  • It ships well — ideal for cross-country distribution.

  • It’s viral — TikTok, Reels, and snack influencers can’t get enough.

In short: it checks every box distributors and their retail partners want.

Why U.S. Distributors Are Sourcing from Canada

Sure, the U.S. has its own freeze-dried brands. But Spaceman offers something unique:

  • Canadian-made quality with playful, retail-ready branding

  • Favorable exchange rate — better margins with CAD vs. USD

  • Proven performance — we’re crushing it on Amazon.ca and growing fast across North America

  • Logistics you can count on — full-service fulfillment, case packing, and wholesale options

And no, there are no crazy customs headaches—we ship to the U.S. regularly.
