    What's Christmas without the yuletide snacks to complete the holiday feel? If you're looking for some treats to share with your friends, family, and co-workers, Amazon is here to help you decide what's the best snackaroonies this season!

    1. A certified banger for Christmastime, a banger for any time! Fill stockings with a bunch of picks from this choccy nuggets assortment — no need to pretend it's Santa who put them in!

    Amazon / Via amzn.to

    Promising review: "We have ordered these at least three times so I guess you can say they're a hit at this house. We keep in the fridge cause we like our chocolates cold. Can't go wrong with Hershey's and it's nice to have four kinds to choose from. They are a value for the money." —Gooey J

    2. Fruitcake is an age-old Christmas treat, but not everyone likes it due to the rum notes. These will change how you think about it.

    Promising review: "Old fashioned, homemade greatness! My 93-year-old mum always says she doesn't need anything for Christmas. About a week before Christmas she asked me to see if there was fruit cake at the grocery store. There was no 'real' fruit cake anywhere so I started looking online and found Grandma's fruit cake.

    It looked exactly like I remembered my mum making it many years ago so I ordered immediately with expedited delivery. It arrived on time and I gave mom her Christmas gift. She smiled, giggled, and opened the box in a flash. She loves it! I bought the individually wrapped slices and she has a treat every day. Best gift! Please keep making those timeless, delicious cakes!" —Beverly Wille

    3. There's always something Christmas-y about eating freshly fried churros. Maybe it's the cinnamon? Whatever it is, if you're craving one, snag a box of this churros flour and have your very own churros party whenever you're craving it.

    Promising review: "This churro mix is the BOMB!! 💣 💣 💣 💣 Easy to make just add water! My family loved them, everyone kept asking me to make more of them. Do yourself a favour and buy the multi-box because they'll be gone before you know it! 😜" —CharlieBrownInAz

    Buy it now on Amazon for $52.39.

    4. A whole tin of gourmet baklava that never misses, begging for you to add it to your Christmas snack arsenal.

    Amazon / Via amzn.to

    Promising review: "Not one for cakes or sweets, but I find baklavas irresistible because of the honey and pistachios combination. More pricey than what one can find elsewhere but these are quite light and flaky in texture and they are certainly a class of their own. Pairing one with a strong cup of coffee is pure enjoyment." —DH

    Buy it now on Amazon for $58.99.

    5. Eccles cakes, anyone? It might look like a simple cake, but once you bite into it, blackcurrant filling oozes out, giving you a unique and fruity taste experience!

    Promising review: "My wife is English and she begged me to get these for her. It's not my thing, but she tells me they brought back good memories of the UK in her earlier days. She loves them." —pcaman2003

    Buy it now on Amazon for $6.30.

    6. A piece or two of these mint chocolate thins cuts back all the grease from your holiday dinners, making it essential after eating your favourite Christmas ham!

    Promising review: "Great flavour, a blast from the past, slight leaking of the fondant (but that is normal). Amazon delivered mine with no issues, packed in a sturdy box and perfect condition. Some pieces are still "stuck" together though with the fondant leaking a little. But that is a small number of pieces. The taste is amazing. The price is good compared to other import stores, but you can get other brands at a local supermarket for cheaper." —YC

    Buy it now on Amazon for $23.97.

    7. We're not surprised if these dipped pretzels already have a permanent spot on your Christmas charcuterie board, but if not, this is your sign!

    8. Gingerbread men! This is as Christmas as it gets!

    Promising review: "These were excellent Christmastime cookies to give as a gift to family and friends. Definitely value for money, although the package included only 8 cookies. The taste was so lovely, really gingerly and buttery. Solid Walker's quality as always." —Nizza

    Buy it now on Amazon for $16.83.

    9. A whole box of crisps assortment for everyone to keep them busy while waiting for a slow-roasting barbecue to cook!

    "Chips: very yummy food." —Garry Thistleton (We agree, Mr. Thistleton. Very insightful.)

    "Good value? Good value." —Amazon Customer

    10. A box of snacks from Japan for a different experience from well up north!

    Amazon / Via amzn.to

    Promising review: "I have bought international snack boxes before and they were a nightmare. Having to pay premium subscriptions and waiting weeks for delivery, packages going missing, and poor customer service wasn't sustainable. Then I found this! Delivered within a day. All the treats and a little colour brochure written in English explaining what everything is. Perfection!

    I grabbed this as an advent calendar alternative. My kids each got to blind pick a treat, read what it was, and explore Snacks they had never tried before. My kids are obsessed with Japanese and Korean snacks at the local Asian grocers...but they never know what they are buying.

    This is a great way for them to explore different flavours from another country. Highly recommend. I will repurchase for birthday presents and advent calendar dupes again next holiday." —Carly N 

    Buy it now on Amazon for $35.97.

    11. And finally, a tub of M&M's for Christmas, what can go wrong? A surefire staple for the holidays!

    Promising reviews: "These were awesome toppers for my Christmas homemade fudge gifts to the family this year. Could only find small packets at the supermarket. The bucket size was perfect for my big family." —Nana T.

    "What's there not to like? M&M's in festive red and green! Super good value if you wait till they go on sale, which they do regularly. $10 worth of joy in a bucket for the whole family!" —Simon Willson

    "Always a good product, these are particularly good at Christmas time and look special on the table!" —Faye Boulton

    "A must every Christmas! Each year I purchase M&M Christmas buckets for the 8 kids in our family. I fill baubles and hang them on the tree. The kids look forward to receiving it every year." —Helen Evans

    Buy it now on Amazon for $13.
