Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the Christmas/holiday treats I’m excited for into the ol’ VCR.
Y’all really enjoyed our piece about fall products, so we’re back with another piece to cover all of the Christmas and/or holiday-themed products I’m looking forward to. I am absolutely a Hallowqueen at heart, but ya girl also doesn’t mind Christmas. There are spirits involved, after all. 😉
As with the fall list, I can’t guarantee that all of these products will be available in your area (I had a HELL of a time finding VooDew and What the Fanta? even though they allegedly weren’t regional), but I still want to give you a handy dandy reference list. Think of it as a scavenger hunt, but for silly little treats.
As always, I would love to give a huge thanks to Markie Devo. He keeps his finger on the product pulse like no one else, and I wouldn’t be able to compile any of these blogs without him. DEFINITELY follow his accounts.
Lastly, please note that all of these products aren’t new, but I’m still excited about them. Also, spoiler, but they’re all food-related this round. The horrors persist but so do the little treats. 🤷♀️
ALRIGHTY, without further ado, let’s dive in.
Elf-Themed Products
With Jon Favreau’s Elf celebrating its 20th anniversary this year (HOW), there are too many Elf-themed products to count. These are the ones I’m personally excited about, but believe me when I say that there are plenty more products to keep your eyes peeled for. 👀
- Brach’s Elf Candy Canes
- Brach’s Swirly Twirly Elf Gum Drops
- Brach’s Candy Cane Forest Elf Mellowcreme® Candy
- Mrs. Butterworth’s Elf Sugar Cookie Pancake Mix
- Keebler® Gingerbread Elf Fudge Stripes™
- Goldfish® Grahams, Limited Edition Elf™ Maple Syrup Grahams
Grinch-Themed Products
There isn’t a big anniversary for the animated special or original book, but I’m noticing a BIG trend with Grinch-themed products and decor. I’m not mad about it.
- International Delight® Iced Coffee – Grinch Peppermint Mocha
- International Delight® – Grinch Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer
Nestlé® Toll House® Goodies
I believe this is a new edition to the Nestlé® Toll House® family, and I can’t wait to definitely not eat a couple of squares of this without baking it first.
Betty Crocker
Betty’s getting WILD this year. I know both of these things are going to give me the good ol’ fashioned sugar shakes, but I’m still eager to try them.
Cereals
Out of all the gimmicks available to me, for some reason, cereals are the ones I tend to buy the most of. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a sucker for the box art or what, but I’ll definitely be snagging both of these.
Blue Bell
One of the very few good things about my state is Blue Bell ice cream. I’ve had the Christmas Cookies, and I can fully vouch for it. As a diehard Peppermint Bark girlie, I’m sure I’ll have nothing but niceties to say about that flavor as well.
Pillsbury
Pillsbury is one of my go-tos when I want to whip up a quick dessert mix, so I have no reason to doubt the flavor, and I can’t wait to scarf down these cookies with some milk while I’m watching a Christmas horror movie.
Duncan Hines
If you haven’t tried the Dolly Parton line, I can say that I haven’t struck out yet. In fact, there are times I’ve bought the cans of icing and eaten them with Vanilla Wafers, or even just a spoon. I’m really excited for this one because it looks like those frosted sugar cookies you can buy in the plastic container, but Dolly Parton is on the box, so they have to be even better.
Smartfood
I’m going to be honest. Out of everything on this list, this is the one I’m the most skeptical about. However, I’m still intrigued, so I’ll definitely try to pick up a bag.
