Yeah, of course brisket and prime rib are all up there but what are some of your favorite holiday foods that you really only get around this time of the year? Could be cookies, sweets, drinks, a special family recipe, something that brings back a great memory, etc.
One of my favorites is 7 layer bars with butter, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, and pecans. And Lil' Smokies with BBQ sauce sitting in the crockpot and eating them with a toothpick.
Love the 7 layer cookies and smokies… we always traditionally have cheese ball, shrimp, summer sausage and cheese and meatballs in the crockpot.. and for cocktails White Russians around the fire
Turkey is obviously served at Thanksgiving (and Christmas when I was growing up). But it's not the bird that is our family's favorite, but the turkey noodle soup made from the carcass and we add the gravy to the broth. If my kids are not around when I make it, I have to freeze a qt for each kid.....or there is hell to pay!
Santamarina The AB recipe is the one I use, I highly recommend it! I make a note in my calendar to make it just after Halloween and let it sit in the fridge until X-mas Eve. We give quarts of it out as gifts, and it’s always a big hit. Again, I highly, highly recommend it.

Cookies. Any kind.
When I was a kid, my mom and grandmother (who lived with us) would bake what seemed like thousands of cookies of many, many varieties at Christmas time. They were so good. So as a result I have been a cookie monster my whole life.
My mother always made cookies at Christmas and my wife and girls do too. But I’m just not a big sweets guy. Though the tradition was making Kipples. Those I still enjoy.

texastweeter I can't remember which forum I read this on, but the comment was something to the effect of "Why ruin eggnog with bourbon and ruin bourbon with eggnog?" 🙂
Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Fireboard Drive, 3 DigiQs, lots of Thermapens, and too much other stuff to mention.
Most of the year, I don’t eat hard sugars. This is the season I don’t turn away. Aside from the usual cakes and pies that are desserts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,
Candied nuts. Pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds, macadamia, peanuts, any of them. I know that they’re not restricted to holidays, but that’s when we eat them.
Rum cake. My daughter and I make a rum cake every Christmas.
