Something To Go Along With That Light Roast Coffee . . .

Looking for something to nosh with that great cup of coffee this holiday season? It may surprise you, that when it comes to some of our favorite holiday flavors, “pumpkin spice” DIDN’T top the list! Gingerbread is our favorite holiday flavor. Followed by salted caramel, peppermint, maple, pumpkin spice, chai (???), cinnamon, and bourbon (like bourbon balls . . . or just three shots of Jack). Here are a few more “Holiday Goodies” quick stats. The average person will eat . . .

26 cookies over the holidays . . .

25 pieces of candy . . .

13 slices of cake . . .

12 pieces of pie . . .

13 brownies . . .

And 13 cupcakes.

• We’re more likely to give into cravings during the holidays than any other time of year. And the top reasons why, include certain sweets are only available this time of year, AND it’s just an excuse to care less about being healthy.
• 48% of us have HIDDEN holiday sweets to prevent roommates or other family members from stealing them.
