Christmas themed - what did you used to have as a child you can't get now

[OhIdoLike2bBesideTheSeaside]

My mum used to buy a Christmas Arctic Role and the green tree was mint ice cream
We used to get so excited and she sprinkled hundreds and thousands on the tree as decorations!

Those tree chocolates that had fondant in them

Cadbury chocolate nuts in a tin

Decent annuals of the comics.
Bunty, Tammy, Mandy etc.

Brandy Snaps! We used to squirt cream into them.

Snowballs for the kids. The alcoholic version.

Liqueur chocolates in the shape of bottles - you'd bite the top off and there would be liquid alcohol inside.

My mum used to let my brother and I try them and we'd pretend we were drunk!

Chocolate smokers' sets. They had a pipe, lighter, cigarettes and box of matches, all made of chocolate

Liquorice smoking set

Foil decorations that criss-crossed the ceiling. Until the year I got a sky dancer toy which got tangled up and broke them.

You can still get brandy snaps, I saw some in Aldi on Thursday! I bought some one year out of nostalgia, the dc we're at school and I had a day off work. I ate about half a box, with squirty cream sprayed through the middle, while wrapping presents and watching Black Christmas. They were so good, exactly as I remembered, was very nearly sick though and haven't eaten one since

Those binocular things that you put those discs in and would snap through pictures of stories like Paddington Bear.

Toffee with a hammer

Hot, sweet chestnuts from the man at a brazier.

Mesh Christmas stockings full of chocolate bars (similar to selection boxes but somehow better). I started a post a few years ago wondering when they disappeared and why.

Quality Street cracknell

I got these on poundland a few years ago. I love them

Love a tacky Christmas
