What is your favourite 'seasonal' food/drink?

I love pumpkin pie, I love all kinds of pie, my family makes this kind of pie called "Flapper Pie" and it's a family tradition, it's basically a custard pie with a meringue topping and it's really amazing. I also looooooooooove Hot Toddy's and Eggnog(already been drinking it since before Halloween as soon as it hit shelves), mulled cider is always delicious and makes the whole house smell amazing. I pretty much love all fall and winter seasonal things. I even love FRUITCAKE, yeah, that accursed atrocity every kid's show and Christmas movie or song told you was awful is actually really great if you make it right. My family makes it with gumdrops and dried pineapple and maraschino cherries, it's super moist (moistened with brandy) and nothing beats a thick slice of it heated up with some butter, it's literally so great!

I have an unhealthy addiction to Bigelow Pumpkin Spice Tea, it's my favorite tea of all time and I have been wanting to buy it in bulk for a while because I will go through a box in a week.

ALSO like all Thanksgiving side dishes are my fave, and I never have them any other time a year, we make some dank dinner rolls, I love green bean casserole as long as people don't RUIN IT with bacon, and sweet potatoes covered in gooey marshmallow is like... a serious weakness, I will destroy a pan of my family's recipe of sweet potato casserole. Also my mom makes these sage potatoes that are so aromatic and amazing, extra fluffy and just AMAZING and I love mixing like, all the side dishes together... like I LOVE when they touch and the flavors mix it's literally the best. Don't judge me.
 
Spring: I like Ichigo Daifuku, Hanami Dango, Sakura Mochi, Strawberry smoothies
Summer: Bubble tea, ice-cream, lemonade, frappes, iced tea
Autumn: Pumpkin spice lattes (I sound so basic), pumpkin soup, apple and cinnamon muffins
Winter: Hot chocolate, gingerbread, candy canes
 
Runeberg's tortes!! By far!! I really wish they were sold all year round. They're one of the best desserts I know! Even the store-bought things.

And my favorite seasonal drink's the Nordic version of mulled wine. There doesn't seem to be an English word for it, I've mostly seen it go by the Swedish name gl?gg/glogg. It's drank in winter, especially during December and Christmas.
 
Hot Chocolate I guess. I don't drink much other than freezing cold tap water. Hot water is euck
 
I like almost anything with pumpkin!! And my mom's sugar cookies she makes for Christmas.

For Easter I really LOVE the cadbury mini eggs. Those are my weakness.
 
Oh I totally forgot about these ginger pumpkin butterscotch cupcake/muffins my mom makes every year, they're to die for.
 
Pumpkin pie! <333
I thought it tasted weird when I was little, but now that I'm 18 I just can't help but think...
Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without it! <3333
 
OMG I have too many! Starting with fall, I will admit, I love me some pumpkin spice latte. Then for Thanksgiving my favorite foods are green bean casserole and then whatever bread we make with it (dinner rolls etc.). I prefer pecan pie to pumpkin (blasphemy, I know), but I will still always have a piece of pumpkin. I really enjoy anything pumpkin this time of year!

For Christmas, my mom makes a bunch of hors d'oeuvres on Christmas Eve. It's not holiday-themed but it's munchie stuff we like to eat, like taco dip, queso, bbq meatballs, chicken wings, cheese and crackers... And my favorite Christmas-y drink is eggnog, specifically eggnog chais from Starbucks. I could live off of those things (and then die from diabetes lol). I love all of the cookies and sweets at Christmas too. My ex-BF's mom was an amazing baker and I would be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss that this year ; v ;
 
Froster (slushie) from Macs during the summer. Love love loveeee
 
I love pumpkin pie, hot chocolate, and the salted caramel mocha from starbucks. mmmmm:blush:
