What Special Food do you Buy Only at Christmas?

[MIGrandma]

Is there a special food treat you buy for yourself/family, but only at Christmas time?

For me, it's creamed herring.

For DH it's hazelnut chocolate pirouette rolled wafers.

Of course, we share with each other too.

This was always one of my favorite things to do as a kid! I have a DD with a peanut and tree nut allergy so we no longer do this. Enjoy~
