I will keep this short. Christmas, every year without fail, comes stupidly early. Now I know this isn't a new thing and spoken about so much every year so I'm not going to bore you with it, but this year it has dawned on me it is here already. I bought my first mince pies yesterday (and I know they've been out ages already), I mean I love this fact, mince pies are ace. I would happily eat them all year round but by buying products such as these and making them perennial favourite are we ruining the festive season, are we in danger of making Christmas nothing but a time for presents and eliminating those little nostalgic festivities which make it all that it more special.
On the other hand Easter appears to be a more regulated time of year for businesses. However with companies only being allowed to promote Easter eggs around that time of the year Cadbury's found another way to promote the great taste of the creme egg back in 2006 with the limited edition dairy milk bar with creme egg filling and two years after that in 2008 launching the evil twin of the creme egg the twisted bar. Having been promoted in the same sort of way and appealing to those who jus love the taste without so much of the Easter connotations this has become a remarkably successful product.
