What do you only have at Christmas?

[Pauline]

Apart from the usual Turkey, Christmas pud and cake, I was wondering what, if anything, you will be having this weekend that you only have at Christmas and not at any other time of year. (I'm talking food and drink here! :rolleyes:)

For us it will be my favourite; baby brussel sprouts mixed with chopped bacon and chopped freshly roasted chestnuts. Yummy :thumbsup:

Me it is snowballs to drink, reminds me of christmas with mum and dad when i was far too young to drink but allowed a little snowball!

And smelly cheese, dont buy it any other time of the year cos i eat it by the pack load!

[charleyfarley]

It's not something we eat or drink but something we only use at Christmas.

Our Hostess trolley :thumbsup: wouldn't be without it at this time of year :jump for joy:

We do exactly the same! It's a godsend, it truly is.

But we also have turkey and all the trimmings at Easter too.

[WibbleWobble]

we always have an M&S buffet...cosisting of all those little bite sized stuff. There must be NO VEG OR SALAD on the plate.

this should be on christmas eve but we are out tomorrow night to see my brother and his little lovely family at my parents home. so we are having the buffet tonight when my daughter Emily gets home after travelling all the way from London. she will be here at about 7.30pm..

so....ovens on...packets out.....

When I was little we had fizzy pop at Christmas and only at Christmas!
Nowadays well if we can get them we have pickled walnuts at my sisters house but they are hard to find at our house it's turkey tbh I'm not too fussed about it so we only have it at Christmas

[rickysmiths]

Pickled Walnuts
Advocaat (neat not in snowballs) I remember being allowed to have a taste of my mums! Now I have my own bottle :laughing:
Brandy Butter
Mince Pies

[Cazz]

Real butter - it's my christmas luxury!

Mince Pies - but they have to be the luxury ones with crumbly pastry and lots of alcohol!

Also tins of chocolates and obviously the nuts!

Oh and Pringles - although we do have them on birthdays too! :laughing:

[Toothfairy]

Baileys
Ham & Eggs for breakfast
Sprouts
Tunis cake
Mince pies :D

[Carol M]

Cranberry sauce.
I'm not supposed to have any cranberry as it reacts with warfarin :(
But I love cranberry :(
Just got to have it.

[ORKSIE]

We have a Tree in the house :D

[PixiePetal]

sprouts - I loathe them and so do the kids but I give in for DH at Christmas :rolleyes:

pigs in blankets - normally just chipolatas

M&S buffet with no veg for boxing day :thumbsup:

otherwise nothing different

[onceinabluemoon]

I really had a good think about this and there isn't anything that we have at Christmas but not at any other time, except a Christmas tree of course but you can't eat that (and live to talk about it...)

Its pretty much like a normal day but with presents on the morning. We must be going wrong somewhere, lol! ;)

[The Juggler]

the cheeseboard! i avoid it the rest of the year (unless we have a dinner party) because i'd eat the whole of the brie and the emmenthal in one go :laughing:

[LOOPYLISA]

Crackers :laughing:

[foxy lady]

roast parsnips , i dont know why we dont have them more i love them YUMMY
