The Most Hated Holiday Candies Are…

Author Ryan Logan
Candy canes a favorite treat at Christmas time. What is your favorite?

I’ve never really thought of some candies being Holiday exclusive. Maybe certain chocolates or hard candies, but now we have a list of the most hated Holiday candies.

CandyStore.com put out its annual list of the most hated holiday candies, and “reindeer corn” is #1 again . . . like candy corn, but red-green-and-white. Christmas nougat is next, followed by cherry cordials.

I guess the makers of candy corn still haven’t gotten the memo that eating it once a year is plenty . . .

 

 

The site CandyStore.com released its annual list of the most HATED holiday candies. And “reindeer corn” is #1 again.

 

 

It’s just regular candy corn with a festive spin. The only difference is it’s red-green-and-white instead of orange-yellow-and-white.

 

Here are the rest of the 10 most despised holiday candies in America . . .

2. Christmas nougat. It’s chewy and minty, and popular with a VERY select number of people.

 

3. Cherry cordials. They always make the Top 5. They were #1 two years ago.

 

4. Non-peppermint candy canes. Peppermint ones avoided the Top 10 this year.

 

5. Holiday Peeps. Whether they’re shaped like snowmen or Christmas trees, not a lot of people like them.

 

6. Ribbon candy. Hard candy shaped like a ribbon. If you’ve never tried it, you’re not missing much.

 

7. Old-fashioned hard candy mix. Found exclusively at your grandma’s house in 1987.

 

8. Lifesavers Story Books. Each one has a selection of different types of Lifesavers. They’re called “Story Books” because the package opens like a book.

 

9. Chocolate oranges. If you enjoy mixing the flavors of chocolate and citrus, they’re all yours.

10. Peppermint Bark. A dubious poll recently claimed it’s actually America’s FAVORITE holiday treat. It placed ahead of gingerbread cookies and chocolate Santas . . . so the poll was obviously NOT scientific.

 

Okay, now after reading the list, I agree with it. Some of these candies we could survive without. Although I will say, some of them I have never heard of.

Here is the full list and study:

The Great Debate: How Do You Eat a Candy Cane?

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
