The new cola, dubbed "Pepsi x Peeps," mixes the taste of a Pepsi with the "pillowy-soft and sweet" marshmallow flavor of Peeps.

One artist even managed to make miniature masks and face shields for the marshmallow treats.

The seasonal exhibit features 138 pieces of art made out of Peeps candy.

The company behind Peeps, Just-Born, is based in the Lehigh Valley.
