Your favorite Christmas candies

Posted on December 2, 2022 by Dave Ashton

Christmas means many things…decorating, gift-giving, visits from Santa and (of course) CHOCOLATE!

CandyStore.com just dropped its annual list of America’s favorite holiday candies and the tree-topper is…peppermint bark, at #1 (again)!

It’s the most popular candy in 8 states…followed by mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, M&M’s and Starburst in 7 states and Hershey’s Kisses and chocolate santas in five states.

What Christmas candy do New Yorkers love the best?

Snickers!

On the flip side, the least favorite holiday candies include Christmas nougat candy, Reindeer Corn, cherry cordials, Lifesavers, non-peppermint candy canes, old-fashioned hard candy, holiday Peeps, ribbon candy and chocolate oranges.

What’s yours?
