Favorites that are only avail. in stores during the Holidays

There are certain things that I LOVE but generally are only sold in the grocery stores over the holidays..  granted I could make these things but *shrug* I think I appreciate them more when I only get them a couple times a year (not to mention they are usually not the healthiest)

What are your favorite holiday foods that only seem to come around once a year?

For me without a doubt its Egg Nog and Lefsa mmmmmmmmm

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin puree, and turkey. :) I stock up on pumpkin puree so I can use it in baking and to make pies through out a year. he he

Dude!  They have pumpkin donuts at KK? 

*figures out how to work this into count for the day....*

Trader Joe's Peppermint JoJos. I will resist this year. I will resist this year.

Last year, I didn't even try to resist - a delicious oreo-like cookie only more delicious, with a peppermint creme filling that includes crunched up peppermint candy in it. Dip it in coffee or hot ovaltine cocoa.... good lord.

I will resist this year.

they also sold these delicious Dark Chocolate Mint Cookie Cheers that came in little containers like Ben & Jerry's ice cream. was like crushed Girl Scout thin mint cookies rolled into a ball and covered with dark chocolate.

And I wonder how I got this big.

Call me crazy but i love candy canes, just the good old fasion kind, i stir my hot cocoa with it and it gives a wonderful minty taste to it.
