What things do you only have at Christmas and not through the year and why?

[JustLoveYourselfALittle]

For example I only ever buy pate at Christmas. I love it. Its readily available all year yet until today have never purchased any time other than Christmas

I get that some things you generally only get around Xmas but I mean things that are in shops all year but wouldn't normally buy.

Currently working my way through a tonne of pate and ritz.

Ha! I eat pate often - it’s lovely.

I only eat a pork pie on Christmas Day (for breakfast with a glass of champagne). Never any other day of the year. It’s tradition.

Tbf we don’t have roast turkey any other time of year either. Nor goose.

Camembert
Mulled wine
Celebrations/Heroes
Peanuts
Red cabbage
Bread sauce
Chocolate gateau
Naice crackers/cheese

Why? Because it's nice to keep some things for special I think.

I always thought as a kid Terry's choc orange was only available at Xmas too. Same with Toblerone.

After Eight mints and pigs in blankets.

@Janedownourlane MIL’s just given us a jar of homemade pickled walnuts, said it was easy to do…

Bailey's, cheese, pate, & Pringles.

@Janedownourlane

Pickled walnuts! Expensive, everyone else hates them! Don't really know why I like them but I do

Mum? Is that you?

sherry
christmas cake ( but it lasts a month or so)
christmas pudding

After Eights, brandy snaps and Quality Street!

Turkey for me. I don't think I eat turkey in any way, shape or form all year other than on my Christmas dinner. I also don't eat leftover turkey.

Ready to bake croissants
Trifle
Chutney
Marzipan

Oh yes I also always have After Eights at Christmas and don’t have them any other time. They remind me of my childhood Christmases.🎄

Boxing Day bubble & Squeak

Port

A roast with all the trimmings - because I live alone so not worth doing any other time but love spoiling my family when I see them.

Smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on toast. Too costly and time consuming the rest of the year.

And chocolate - too fattening to eat all the time.

Pringles- could eat tube in one sitting. hence only have them at Christmas.

Crackers, of the pulling kind, whole Turkey but can't think of anything else

How is smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast too time consuming?!

Cheese with fruit in. And Stilton, come to think of it.

Baileys for me too. Love it at Christmas but the thought of drinking one now makes me feel a bit ill

Baileys, Southern Comfort, Terry’s chocolate orange, After eight mints, pigs in blankets, stuffing, turkey, Brussels sprouts, stollen, panettone, trifle, a Cooked breakfast we actually have this on New Year’s Day but it’s the only day of the year we have it.

Turkey

Brussels sprouts (I don't like them but will eat the odd few at christmas).

Mince pies, which I love.

I drink baileys year round, it's a simple thing that I can enjoy. But I only ever mix it with hot chocolate at christmas.

Gravad lax.
No idea why, we all love it, it's super easy to do and yet I only ever do it at Christmas time
