My favorite holiday flavor, hands down, is peppermint. Especially when in ice cream or combined with dark chocolate!

i think peppermint is yumyum year-round, but it's nice that it's much more available during the holidays...

EGGNOG! I'm addicted to the stuff starting as soon as they put it in the stores (just before thanksgiving) right up until i start feeling fat and making resolutions at new years... :)

Mulled apple cider. Or maybe gingerbread. Christmas to me is spices!

My rosemary plants and cooking gingerbread - then...searching 'the kitchen' trying to figure out how I'll transform both :)

Nice!

In Jamaica they serve sorrel juice at Christmas. Sorrel is a weird red fruit that looks like something out of Dr. Seuss, and tastes kind of like hibiscus. (In that it's red flavored.) It's light, and refreshing and awesome with ginger, and I really, really miss it.

Fig & cocoa spread? I'll bite!

Gingerbread, hands down!

sugar cookies!

Definately egg nog, Love it, but only look to buy it during the holiday season, I don't think they sell it any other time of year, but I never look for it until christmas. So don't really know.. kind of like does a tree falling in the woods with no one around really make a sound...

My favorite around the holidays is fat and carbs, mmm.

nutmeg.... or clove... or eggnog...

Clementines!

clove and orange. oh, and mulled wine. mmmmm!

Eggnog or gingerbread!

yum...this is a great gift to get and to share...

Eggnog, especially for soy milk. I may be alone on this one, but I love it and it is just so sad that you can only buy eggnog soy milk one time a year. I get my eggnog soy milk at whole foods, by the way. Does that help my chances at getting picked? ;)

If I leave a clever comment am I more likely to win? Do I leave a different comment for each weekday (and prize)? Just curious. But, oh, yeah this is my comment. My hat's in the ring!

It's nutmeg ... in just about everything!

I'm not much of a candy-eater, but gosh I love peppermint candy canes...

Eggnog! I can remember making eggnog for my parents annyal Christmas party in the bsement with my dad...three types of liquor and lots of cream and I know we whipped it all up. Alas I'm lactose intollerant and it's just not the same made with soy.

I love chocolate year round, 24/7 so I have to disqualify that as a "holiday" flavor, I think.

Peppermint is definitely my favorite.

Gingerbread!

Pumpkin, indubitably -- can't get enough of anything with pumpkin as an ingredient, savory or sweet!

I live for Eggnog! I don't know if it's because it just comes around once a year and I feel like I have to take advantage of it while I can or if I just really like it!

Surely a gift for everyone in the home to enjoy Christmas to the fullest!

Chocolate

A nice gift for the in-laws!

Peppermint is my favor holiday flavor. I like it in peppermint bark, ice cream, and by itself! Gingerbread flavor probably runs a close second. There are so many great holiday flavors that it was difficult to narrow it down to just one!

Best holiday flavor is cinammon, of course.

We break out all of the ethnic holiday traditions for the holidays, so the tastes that reminds me most of this time of year is honey. I use honey to make the nut and poppyseed roll fillings, my mother uses honey for the nut filling for of my grandmother's cookies, and my other grandmother anoints everyone at the table with honey for the Christmas eve blessing (so that the following year will be sweet).

I hope I win!

Mmm--peppermint and chocolate!

Sugar cookie dough...peppermint twists...holiday turkey...

Gingerbread is my favorite holiday flavor. It gives me that warm fuzzy feeling I got as a child receiving my special tin of cookies from my grandmother all the way in Colorado.
