Which is a better Christmas food staple: Egg Nog or Candy Canes?

Nov 27, 2012 8:27 PM

Whether it's that oddly sweet and creamy drink or the funny shaped peppermints, there's no denying that Christmas time is upon us and two familiar faces are back. Which one is the more "needed" of the two to make Christmas for you?

why Candy Nog and Egg Canes, of course.

Egg Nog and buttery sugar cookies, of course.
Candy canes are a pretty decoration, but I don't like them as much as my kids do.

i'm gonna go with egg nog. while i also love candy canes, you can get peppermint candies year-round.

@j5 good call with the peppermint bark. i'm addicted to that stuff around the holidays.

I've been buying my Nog since October, when it first started showing up in stores this year.

Candy Canes - especially in hot cocoa!

Egg nog. With nutmeg. Add brandy and/or bourbon as necessary.

Candy canes! Too many calories in egg nog.

Excellent question - I believe I'm going with egg nog since it is oh so delicious. Candy canes are pretty good too, and can be easily sharpened into a weapon which might give them the edge, but from a flavor standpoint egg nog all the way.

And with regards to peppermint bark - love it, make some every year as my signature gift, but haven't found a truly great way to smash up the peppermint pieces to put on top that isn't a pain in the ...

I'll give the nod to nog, but I would rather have Reese's anything.

Candy canes. Nicely stripe-y and fun to both crunch and hang on trees. Also, I've found egg nog quality varies wildly.

Egg nog with bourbon, with a candy cane swizzle. Not a huge fan of candy canes alone, but they do make a good cocktail stirrer.

I'd prefer egg nog with kahlua :)

Well it's hard to beat eggnog because of the booze, but it's not really a treat the whole family can enjoy.

I vote candy canes as I greatly dislike eggnog. Definitely agree with @mtm2 regarding the candy cane-hot cocoa combo. I also like getting the various flavors of candy canes (strawberry, yum).

@mkdr: Have you tried breaking the candy canes into smaller pieces, putting them in a Ziplock-type bag, and then using a rolling pin to crush them? (Don't forget to seal the bag before crushing... much less messy.) ;)

Egg nog. But, since I hate mint, I'm never going to like candy canes.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
