Less than 3 weeks till the big day. Advent calendars are being enjoyed and the elf is up to no good each morning again. As “shoppers rush home with their treasures” and more and more trees are seen enjoying their trip to their Christmas home, I am sure some are starting to think about hosting events.
I know we talked a bit on Facebook last week about favorite snacks and nibbles over the holidays, but what about the forgotten recipes? The things you hear mentioned in classic Christmas songs and old holiday movies. Not suggesting we look at whipping up a feed of Buddy’s sugar-filled, syrup-topped spaghetti, or moose juice or who hash, lol
I found a list of vintage holiday treats. Many of these I have never heard of, but I am sure for some of you these will stir up some memories.

But there are a few things I always wondered about. The foods you hear about in Christmas songs for instance. Like what is a Wassel? I have never tried roasted chestnuts and then there are the puddings of Christmas, plum and figgy.

Well looks like one of those classic Christmas foods is now being offered on a grander scale than your Mom or grandmother whipping up a batch in the kitchen.
Spam is now offering Figgy Pudding! As you plan your tasty treats for this holiday, you will have to be lucky to find this festive Spam treat for your charcuterie board.
Here are all the details on this new offer from the makers of the often laughed at canned meat product.
They even created a cartoon commercial to go along with this newly offered product. No wonder it has pretty much sold out already. Might have to plan on grabbing a can in November next year.
