2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl: Check Out Our Edible Mascots Taking The Field

Here's a look at Team Sprinkles and Team Swirls making their way onto the field to help kick off today's 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl.

With Pop-Tarts and ABC's Pop-Tarts Bowl 2025 officially underway, we're going to know in a few hours whether or not Georgia Tech or BYU walks away with the big win. We're also going to learn who is going to make the ultimate sacrifice – a member of Team Sprinkles (Protein Slammin' Strawberry, Frosted Cherry, and Frosted Cookies & Crème) or Team Swirls (Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Frosted Wild Berry, and Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae). Now, we have a look at the six Edible Mascots taking to the field… with only five of them leaving.

Here's a look at the six Edible Mascots making their way onto the field, with the knowledge that one of them won't be going home (except in the stomachs of a lot of college football players and coaches):

Team Sprinkles Edible Mascots Roster

Team Sprinkles brings three all-new Edible Mascots to the field:

Protein Slammin' Strawberry: Leading Team Sprinkles, this ripped powerhouse mascot with muscles to match its mighty protein-boosted flavor is ready to flex its way to victory.

Frosted Cherry: Iconic for its pink frosting and bold red sprinkles, this long-time classic flavor is ready to make its game day debut.

Frosted Cookies & Crème: This Pop-Tarts Bowl newcomer is ready to make a flavorful impression with its striking contrast of speckled frosting.

Team Swirls Edible Mascots Roster

Team Swirls combines a veteran edge with fresh talent:

Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: Returning to shelves after a three-year hiatus and making its mascot debut as the head of Team Swirls, this fan-favorite rookie is ready to lead its teammates all the way to Mouth Heaven.

Frosted Wild Berry: Bringing its instantly recognizable vibrant purple frosting and teal swirl to the field, the returning mascot is vying for a second shot at being devoured.

Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae: Adding a touch of flair to Team Swirls, the mascot veteran is adorned in its signature fudge icing swirl.

The Road to Pop-Tarts Bowl 2025: What Else You Need to Know…

We got the "when and where" taken care of. We've taken care of the teams. With that, Georgia Tech Head Coach Brent Key and BYU Head Coach Kalani Sitake enjoyed the first ceremonial Pop-Tart from the big trophy (yes, the one with the active toaster built into it). Here's a look at Coaches Sitake and Key during the first Official Pop-Tarts Toast of Bowl Season, followed by a look at their respective media days regarding their Pop-Tarts Bowl 2025 selection and more:

Here's a look back at the official selection video that went live early in December for this year's Pop-Tarts Bowl:
