It's the SF Mighty Mingle, Part 2! All Are Welcome! A Poll-arizing Poll: Popular Holiday Flavors - Choose Wisely!

Hey Everyone,

I have an idea for a more involved thread in this series, but won't have time to work on it tomorrow so maybe we can try this instead.

It's that time of year again, and I'm just now starting to see ads for baking holiday treats.

I just know this discussion is going to rock worlds, build epic friendships, and shake alliances to the core with its devastating revelations

So... What are your favorite holiday flavors? YouTube sent me some Christmas cookie videos in which people were taking one basic dough and making 15 different kinds of cookies by adding various flavors and candies.

I just thought it would be fun to see what the crowd-pleasers are here -- and which ones would get booted to the North Pole.

The poll will be public (everyone can read each other's answers,) and you can have multiple choices.

The system only allows a certain number of poll options so I won't be able to include everyone's possible favorites.

In fact, I didn't even have space for an "Other" option, so be sure to leave a post telling us about any choices not listed. Please also tell us why you do or don't like certain flavors, and in what form (drinks, cookies, candy, pie, etc.) do you like for them to be in?

I know it's early for a thread like this -- I was originally going to ask about chocolate preferences -- but the holiday baking video convinced me to expand the flavor profile.

So... What flavors do YOU like best, and why?

EggNOT?!?

I find yaw lack of faith... disturbing...

Eggnog/boiled custard for the win!

Winn Dixie used to be my favorite grocery store chain, because they would carry eggnog ALL YEAR LONG!

...amusing though.

I hate you both... in the most loving possible way.

Classic Pineapple Tart with Clove. It's delicious and it has always been the symbol of good fortune.

Vanilla would be my holiday and year round flavor. Fruits would be berries, mango., nectarine, watermelon.

When I lived in North Pole, fresh fruit was hard to come by, but we'd collect wild blueberries and low bush cranberries and freeze those. We had salmon berries on our property but a certain neighbor considered them fair game and was often first to harvest them.

This is really interesting.

How long did you live in the North Pole? How did you like it there?

Sorry to hear about the neighbor, grrr...

Sounds even worse than the deer that ate your roses.

5 years in North Pole. Then I moved north of Fairbanks. It was fun to have a North Pole address. I never chastised the neighbor because I was very friendly with them. Though I would have liked to have had my harvest of Salmonberries, I was glad that a friend and neighbor was enjoying them. They were an interesting family. They continuously brought trouble upon themselves. For example, leaving a garage door open or a window open in the middle of winter in one of the coldest places on the planet... It seemed to be one thing after another. I loved Alaska and have lived the majority of my life in interior Alaska. Just moved from there a few months ago.
