What Christmas goodies are you looking forward to?

[Beautifulsunflowers]

As the title says! I’m thinking particularly food stuff from the supermarkets.
For me it’s lidls mini stollen,
marks and Spencer’s clementines
marks and Spencer’s panettone

I love all the food items you only get at Christmas- if we had them year round they wouldn’t be so exciting!!

Smoked salmon & creamcheese bagels with a glass ( or 3!) of fizz for breakfast
Another vote for allsorts of posh cheeses with crackers
Really good boxed chocolates
Mince pies made with shortcrust not puff pastry, warmed & served with a generous dollop of clotted cream mmmmm
Sandwiches on Christmas night with cold turkey, stuffing, breadsauce & cranberry sauce.
Quality wines
Baileys
Aldi or Lidl mini stollen
My Mum’s Dundee cake if she’s still fit enough to make it
Chocolate coins are an absolute necessity!
M & S biscuits covered in various chocolate. They are so good & usually on offer.
Cold roast veg with mayo

Treeslets are cheesier than cheeselets on account of their Christmas tree shape.

This is a scientific fact.

Chocolate brazils for me too, too expensive to have usually but always have some Christmas Eve, yum!

A chocolate orange
Espresso martinis
Merry Munch
Maple Pretzels

Rum balls

Same to you 😛

Apparently Cadbury's are bringing back their chocolate coins this Christmas after a decade.
Anyone else remember getting a net of those big silver and gold coins in their stocking?

I love rum balls. I can't believe the amount of people I know who don't know what they are. Heathens

That Fortnum's coal sounds amazing!

I accidentally smashed through a whole bag of snowballs the other day (after complaining about Christmas stock in shops 🤣).

Twiglets & a cheese board.

Not really a chocolatey person!

I’m with you on Lidl’s mini stollen, they are just so good ,
dont like the Aldis mini stollen.

Nothing to add...... but I'm starting my shopping list from these suggestions!

Judgey looking Stag 😂

I only buy Cadburys milk chocolate fingers at Christmas time because one in = all in. Zero self control and I rarely eat chocolate or biscuits, so who knows why this combo is so appealing.

I also like a homemade mince pie, partial to a glass of Baileys (again, only time of year I drink it) and I treat myself to a case of my favourite champagne to sip throughout the season. Cheers!

Sadly cadburys chocolate ain’t what it used to be since they went chasing the money!! Plus the slavery thing).

Used to love chocolate coins though!

All the lebkuchen for me please.

They had it in Lidl on Saturday morning, hottest day of the year 😆

I am definitely not allowed any until December. Absolutely not going to buy a bag to take for snack stash when I go away for work tomorrow....

Port and dessert wine. And brandy. I've been pregnant since Christmas (well, about then, 40 weeks now) so I cannot wait to be able to enjoy some good quality booze. With mince pies and blue cheese. Not in big amounts, but just enjoy the flavours.

where do you get this from? I love chestnuts

Stollen and panettone

I said on the "Carb appreciation" thread that I love bread, and these are very good examples of bread.

I grew up in the Netherlands for a while. Much prefer stollen to Christmas fruitcake.

Also just come on to say Baileys.

I have banned myself from buying it for the rest of the year but during the Christmas season I drink it from a mug love it

sorry you've already answered previously

Tesco florentines. Yum. And no bloody raisins or sultanas.

Mulled wine.
Coffee with a splash of baileys and a mince pie.

Sugared almonds, posh Turkish delight from Waitrose, mince pies ... many, many things!

I really hope this is true!! I love them.

Pret a Manger Christmas Dinner sandwich normally starts around November the 7th so not long now

Sainsbury’s mince pies, the KP cheese footballs, terrible I know 😄 and Thornton’s chocolates, preferably mint, just says Xmas to me.
