This thread is meant for products that are seasonal not produce that has a particular season. These should be things that are only out at specific times of the year. I find the winter holiday periods to be the time that there are the most seasonal products, but please don't feel constrained to only share products for the winter holiday season.

My favorite is Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice Tea which is generally available from before Thanksgiving through early to late January. It's one of the only teas (along with chai) that I use a creamer with. I find it to be quite satisfying when I want something that reminds me of something sweet. I also sometimes take one bag of the gingerbread tea and a bag of Stash Double Spiced Chai, brew them together and then add a creamer for a gingerbread chai.

Another way I have it is one bag of gingerbread and then a bag of a Celestial Seasonings fruit tea such as Country Peach Passion, Very Cherry Berry or Raspberry Zinger brew them together and then drink it without a creamer. To me it tastes a lot like a fruit cobbler or crisp.
 

I look forward to these crisp spice cookies from the local Aldi or the Cashew Nougat cookies from the folks at Archway.

Some years they don't have the White Fudge Oreos even during the holidays at all. And somebody on another site who lives in the Midwest U.S. told me that they can buy 'em year 'round where they live! Not fair! :confused::LOL:
 
I like the Candy Cane flavor IceBreakers Sugar Free mints, I had such a hard time finding them that last year I ordered $200 dollars worth. They showed up in maybe 20 different packages, some with just one tin and some boxes with more. I guess Target had to have them sent from whichever stores they could find them. I misjudged how many I would use up, so I still have about half of what I bought last year.
I also love the seasonal flavors of HaloTop light ice cream, but that has been super frustrating this year because I'm only buying groceries with the pickup option instead of going into the store, and neither of the stores I go to have added the item to their website/app. They still have the springtime seasonal flavor on the app of Strawberry Shortcake, and if I add that to my order the picker usually substitutes regular Strawberry instead of the holiday Gingerbread or Pumpkin flavors. I've tried calling the stores' customer service phone numbers, emailing their website contact, and emailing the Halo Top company, but have not gotten very lucky though did get a few of the pumpkin and gingerbread.
I love Peeps but I'm trying to reduce sugar in my diet, I wish they had a sugar-free Peep.
 
I used to enjoy hot cross buns, but after a long abstinence period, spouse and I have been trying various bakeries and commercial versions. Every single one of them is like lead - yeasted dough, but heavy heavy heavy.....not light the way I remember them being. Chintzy on the citron and candied fruits, icky-sweet dough and even sweeter icing.

Bleccchhhh. Very disappointing!
