Why is the best stuff(food wise) always seasonal/holiday based?

I have some Candy Cane Ice Cream. I cannot believe they don’t sell this in other seasons because it’s so great. Why deprave us of it’s candy caneish goodness?
WHY, …

WHY, NO NAME ICE CREAM COMPANY, WHY?

Also, Starbucks offers Mint/Gingerbread flavours during christmas. I’d buy that stuff year round.

Damn it companies, stop offering stuff that’s better than most of your other food during holidays and only during holidays!

If they offered it year round, we’d get tired of it. One thing that makes it so appealing is that it’s seen only on a limited basis.

Lesson learned, December 2003:

Do not wait until after Christmas to purchase petits fours from the Hickory Farms store, nor Festivus from Ben and Jerry’s. They will not be remaindered after the holiday, because they will not remain, at all.

I hear you. I happened across some Pumpkin ice cream before Thanksgiving and bought it on a lark. To my surprised it was really really really good! And now, of course, it is nowhere to be found. Darn it!

Actually Candy Cane ice cream is sold “year-round.” It’s just called peppermint ice cream. It is around here anyway. (A friend used to call this “Pepto-Bismol” ice cream and couldn’t believe anyone would eat it on purpose.)

Egg-nogg. I love egg-nogg, and it irks me no end that it’s only available at Christmas time.

One of these days, I have to learn how to make it for myself . . .
