Christmas Candy and Treats Guide

The holidays are here, and that means one thing: it’s time to deck the halls… and the dessert table! Whether you’re hosting a festive bash or just want to keep your candy dishes stocked throughout the house for holiday magic nights, The Candy Champions are here to help you navigate the wonderful world of Christmas treats.

We love tasting candy, and if you’ve not had a chance to check what we’re tasting lately on the channel, you can always search for us, and the different selection of treats we try, on YouTube ! Lately, we’ve been on a shorts kick, trying out some interesting selections dropping at our local stores. Most recently, we bought some interesting chocolate filled marshmallows that seem interesting, not sure how they taste, but we will know soon.

ANYHOOO….let’s get to the best holiday treats to have around the house!

Stocking Stuffer Stars:

Nothing better than running down the stairs on Christmas morning, to grab a coffee and dump out the stockings. Do you do presents first in your house? This gets us warmed up for a nice holiday breakfast, then it’s on to the main event (Christmas Presents!) Stocking stuffers are an important part of the holiday in our household and getting the right candy sets off the tone of the rest of the day.

Party Pleasers:

While the food is cooking in the background, and you have family streaming into the house with empty stomachs we tend to have a few select holiday treats out on different trays so people can calmly work through holiday chit chat without being too grumpy. While this may not be all candy, I thought it was important to share some holiday treats that keep uncle Paul happy!

Bonne Bouche:

An aperitif, appetizer, tidbit, canape, many names, but you’ll want to save some room as a big dinner is about to happen. Before you dive into the main feast, tantalize your taste buds with these delightful canapés. These bite-sized wonders offer a touch of sweetness without being too filling, perfect for an hour before dinner. We wanted to share some quick little treats before jumping into our cookies recipe.
