Popcorn comes in many flavors and can be very holiday-ish. Your best best is choosing a large tin that has several popcorn flavors in it. The flavors range from caramel popcorn to cheese popcorn. Of course you can find more flavored popcorn such as: “White Chocolate Raspberry, decadently rich Peanut Butter Chocolate, Banana Cream Pie with coconut and yogurt pretzels, savory Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza, sweet and spicy Thai Peanut with cranberries, and mouth-watering Butter Toffee Popcorn Mix with chocolate-drizzled pretzels and almonds” –The Popcorn Factory.
Flavored popcorn is the ultimate treat for kids, adults, and for Christmas parties. Buy a tin, set it out, and enjoy the popcorn flavors.
This is the next best Holiday drink after eggnog. Christmas time is the time for nice hot drinks to warm the body. Hot apple cider does the trick!
Most recipes call for cider combined with some spices and sometimes sugar, heating it on the stove and serving hot.
You can buy the store brand and check on the back label, sometimes on the Apple Cider bottle you will find directions for the HOT cider recipe. You can also purchase individual cider packets that come prepackaged on a per cup serving similar to how hot chocolate does it. These are very handy but can also be very sweet. I would recommend the bottle route.
Some cider’s you can drink cold, but if you want to warm up drink the hot apple cider!

What is eggnog? Eggnog is a traditional Christmas holiday drink made from mostly cream and eggs sprinkled on top with some nutmeg.
Traditionally spiked with Whiskey, Bourbon, or rum, but you can choose any spike you like!
Eggnog comes mostly in the one flavor, and that is a creamy, vanilla type of flavor that is very rich! There is also a hint of spice once you add the nutmeg.
Chocolate eggnog? Never seen it or heard of it but there must be a reason why they don’t make it. If you are looking for an eggnog recipe your best bet if to search the FoodNetwork website.
If you want to skip the hassle of making your own the Borden brand of eggnog is very rich and tasty. Most grocery store chains also sell their own version which many times are just as close to the quality of Borden’s.
Spice classics is the brand name of a good line of spices that you can buy in your local supermarket. The Spice Classics line has all flavors of spices including: Seasoned Salt, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Crushed Red Pepper, Dill Weed, Cream of Tartar, Sage, Celery Seed, and more. The Spice Classics line actually really has almost every type of spice for seasoning, and their prices are very competitive.
