What's your favourite seasonal treat?

[ChippySauce]

Inspired by a box of florentines I picked up in our newly opened Lidl last week.
They were in the Christmas aisle so I assume they're only available for this period.
Need to get another box or three...

Mulled wine, but made at home with proper wine so it's actually got a kick to it. Could make it any time of year but doesn't feel right.

Lebkuchen

Sainsbury's taste the difference duck and plum sauce flavoured crisps. Only available at Christmas and they sell out really quickly (leaving behind the far less nice turkey gravy and pigs in blankets flavours).

Stollen!

Mulled wine with the first mince pies, but not until 1st Dec. Along with a Carols from Kings CD playing. 🎄

Chardonnel et Walker Maple Brazil nuts. They're heinously expensive and only seem to pop up around Christmas (or maybe Christmas is the only time of year I'm jolly enough to think £15 for ten Brazil nuts is a completely reasonable spend!)

Lebkuchen. Have to try not to buy it, cannot leave it alone once it’s in the house!

Proper homemade mince pies. Stollen is nice, but mince pies straight from the oven are to die for.

Iced fruit cake 😋

@BowlyLarri love these too! I eat two little ones with tea or coffee as a treat after dinner.
I love the party platters you get from the supermarkets. I’m trying out M&S’s offering this year, but not until Christmas week as on a diet!

Oh all of them. But especially the lovely marzipan logs with different flavours, and Stollen, and mince pies.

A really nice Yule Log.

At Christmas - Yorkshire pudding dipped into my special gravy

At Easter - Cadbury Easter egg chocolate. Nothing else tastes as good.

im low brow.

Bucks Fizz.

Mulled wine also.

It's like Retsina. Retsina never tastes right outside of Greece and mulled wine never tastes right outside of Christmas.

Lebkuchen! I have some in the cupboard actually...

Stollen, only discovered it recently as I’d avoided it for being marzipan….gosh it is, but it’s lovely.
panettone to make bread and butter pudding.
ham, home cooked, to have ham, egg and chips on Boxing Day.

Bendicks Bittermints. They are usually on offer in supermarkets so I may stock up on a box or 3.

All the different (overpriced) seasonal drinks in the coffee shops. Mini stollen, mince pies, yule logs, Christmas pudding etc etc. But only for the month of December 🤣

Turkish delight; my Christmas treat since childhood.
Must be rose and lemon cubes in a wooden box with a wooden fork to spear it out of the clouds of icing sugar, so thick you can barely see if you're getting rose or lemon.

Lidl used to sell these little hazelnut stars at Christmas that had icing and tasted like cinnamon - haven’t had them the past 2 years 🙁 gutted!

Halloween toffee apples
hate Christmas but do bake the shortbread etc

Lebkuchen. The round ones with milk chocolate from Aldi and Lidl.

Also quite partial to a hot cross bun.

Lidl’s lobster cocktail crisps 🤤

I like different kinds of smoked salmon and Christmas cheeses.
