While the classic gingerbread house might be a holiday table showpiece, gingerbread treats are everywhere from the pantry to the freezer. That slight spicy yet sweet flavor instantly brings back holiday memories. Beyond that classic cookie served with hot cocoa, gingerbread is always the flavor of the holiday season.

Many people associate gingerbread with the winter months. That combination of spicy flavors isn’t limited to particular shaped cookies. The ginger paired with nutmeg, clove and cinnamon seems to bring the warmth on that chilly day.

Festive gingerbread treats fill the store shelves. Even if there might not be a barista waiting to make a hot beverage for the start of the morning, other options are waiting to be enjoyed. If enough people voice their option, Coffee mate will bring back its Gingerbread coffee creamer in 2022. The flavor is like having a cookie and a beverage in a single sip.

Although the oven might be constantly on, Loaker Gingerbread wafers bring all the seasonal flavors without having to do the dishes. The crispy wafers with bold cinnamon flavor is balanced by the ginger-spice cream. It is all the classic holiday flavor presented in a new way.

While there are many classic holiday candies, gingerbread has taken over the conversation. The first to reveal that seasonal twist was Kit Kat. Without too much spice, breaking into sweet treat brings smiles all around.

In a total different take on holiday candy, the Red Vines Gingerbread Twists are perfect for both eating and decorating. It might be time to ditch the candy cane and give the more flexible decorations a try.

Lastly, why should gingerbread be limited to just the candy bowl. The MTN DEW Gingerbread Snap’d gives the Dew Nation a seasonal sip. Although some people on the naughty list might think that this beverage is a little irreverent, the truth is that the flavor will make you want to have a second, or third bottle. It might not be Santa’s cookies and milk but it could become a new holiday tradition.

These festive gingerbread treats are just a few of the many holiday food options on the shelf. Do you have a flavorful find to share?
