Christie Crackers and Cookies

Christie is a legendary Canadian snack brand with deep roots in the bakeshop founded by William Mellis Christie in Toronto in the mid-19th century. Best known for iconic products like Ritz, Premium Plus, and Mr. Christie’s Cookies, the brand has been a staple in Canadian pantries for generations. While the name Christie remains a distinct identifier in the Canadian market, the manufacturing and brand ownership have evolved significantly. Following various mergers throughout the 20th century, the brand became part of the larger global snacking landscape. Today, Christie products are manufactured primarily in Canada to serve the local market, ensuring the classic taste and quality that consumers expect. The brand is now a key part of the Mondelēz International portfolio, following the spin-off from Kraft Foods in 2012, which unified diverse global snack brands under one corporate umbrella headquartered in the United States.
