What is Your Favorite Christmas or Holiday Food?

[Spicey]

Reading this thread at 3am when I'm starving was a mistake lol...

I love ginger molasses cookies, home made peppermint hot chocolate, and turkey with cranberry sauce, although I often enjoy the turkey more when we put the leftovers into a soup than when it's fresh out of the oven because I find it's a bit too dry after baking (probably not baking it right but oh well!)

Turkey is dry no matter how you cook it, usually. It's just a dry meat. Why couldn't turkey soup have been the thing way back when?

Brining the turkey before baking can help make it more moist, but all that salt isn't good for ya; many turkeys sold in grocery stores have been injected for similar, moister outcomes, but I still prefer the naturally-raised version from my local 'health food' store. I figure that's what gravy is for...
