8 Crazy Holiday-Themed Foods

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like crazy holiday-themed foods. Not all of these items are created equal. Are any of them healthy? I don't see how. Are any of them delicious? I have got to think so. Are ALL of them delicious? Highly unlikely.

I always love checking out the crazy foods that go to ACTUAL production for the holidays.  From pumpkin-spiced everything, we head into the Halloween edition item before quickly moving on to Thanksgiving and Christmas.  From the manufacturer's point of view: I can't blame them.  They either have a surprise hit or free advertising for their brand over how ridiculous or awful the product is.

Spam has NO FEAR.  They will release the most hideous flavor brands and a year later, their limited-edition flavors are up for sale on E-Bay for $50 a pop.  #TrueStory  Spam may have outdone themselves this holiday season.  Their crazy holiday-themed food of choice for 2022 is "Figgy Pudding" Spam.  Wait to til you lay your eyes on this gem and read the review.  #GoodTimes

At the end of the day, while I love seeing "what will they come up with next," the traditional, home-cooked favorites are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season.  Greenbean casserole is one of my top items... and my sister's tea cookies.  They're a pain in the a$$ to make, but they are SO delicious.  Having said that, I feel like there is a reason why the Little Debbie Christmas Tree ice cream sold out so fast last year.  Check out the list and let me know what you think!  Would you eat any or all of these?

BOLD: this bag of candy corn has SIX different flavors. It's like Bertie Botts meets candy corn in this bag: green beans, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, ginger glazed carrots (fancy AND specific), and sweet potato pie. You read that right.

Yep.  It exists.  According to the makers, Figgy Pudding Spam is the classic Spam with notes of “cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves, along with … fig and orange flavors.” The Washington Post said it "tastes like a hotdog fruitcake.  Run away."

This little bundle of deliciousness came out last year and sold out FAST.  They're producing twice as much ice cream this year to meet customer demand.  This is sold exclusively thru Walmart.  Did you know there is a whole line of Little Debbie ice creams?  It's evil genius.

Apparently, Mountain Dew has decided to ride the coattails of fruitcake's stellar reputation.   It is a clever name, but unless fruitcake is freshly made from Yates, I'm gonna take a pass. You dew you and I'll do me.

My neighbor, Cathy, made the BEST snickerdoodles. Fortunately, I babysat her kids, so I was in cookie range from time to time. I love Oreos, but I'll take a fresh-baked cookie over a boxed cookie any day of the week.  I'll bet snickerdoodle Oreos are still delicious... just not AS delicious as Cathy's.

Additionally, I found OREO SNOWBALLS at Target.  They're sold 4 to a pack.  Picture a good-sized chocolate ball filled with Oreo creme.  My kids will not learn about these if I can help it: 100% sugar bombs.  I'd have to peel Jake off the ceiling after eating one of these.

Not a bad idea in the bunch here.  Not all of these are still in production, but you can definitely still get the peppermint mini marshmallows.  I like to call them, "The secret ingredient I didn't know existed for my hot chocolate." #WhereHaveIbeen

There's a LOT going on here.  A potato chip is just the beginning...

Complete with an ugly Christmas sweater box!  Captain Crunch isn't really a crazy-themed food, but former Megadeath guitarist, Marty Friedman, is crazy for the ORIGINAL CAPTAIN CRUNCH.  He's already gone to war over his purist Captain Crunch views. #PickYourBattles
