Me and DP chatting about this earlier. Without fail the things we buy only in December are:

Pringles (they're just not a normal crisp to us if it's not Christmas Grin)
J2O in the glass bottle - even though we'd never have them from a pub for example, bang on December they're there in the fridge! As a child we thought they were very posh Xmas Blush so they've just become part of Christmas
Toblerone - they always tempt me when I've seen them in airports etc but no, no, no. Xmas only, soz.
After Eights - see above.

Anyone else?

Bread sauce. It's so good - why not have with roasts all year round?

Tubs of Quality Street (lacking on the Quality tbh);
Cheesy balls;
Dry Roast Peanuts (although they tasted bloody awful this year and I won't bother again);
After 8s;
Cheesy biscuits;
Cheese (unless it's boring old cheddar);
Turkey;
Dates - very dry, won't bother next year.

Things that we do have Xmas Grin
Baileys;
Mince pies whenever they're available - prob from September;
Pigs in Blankets and Stuffing - no Chicken dinner is complete without;
Cranberry Sauce - see above;
Sprouts (when in season);

Florentines- though considering I've eaten a whole box (almost) , it's probably wise to keep go Christmas only.
