Extra, extra! ‘Tis the season to be oh so very extra, and that absolutely includes food. Each year as we creep towards Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve, our favorite food brands begin to roll out seasonal spins and limited edition holiday mashups. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you gotta admit they get pretty creative, and if nothing else, keep publicists employed.
Check out the 19 most extra, interesting and over-the-top holiday food items currently on the market. And because we somehow made it through fall, we promise NO pumpkin spice.
