Great idea.

[@wendysnyder2286]

Been worried about u an ur family hope all is well with the baby

[@micheleparker8553]

Yes, I have been worried too, because I am a worrier, and a retired nurse. But, they say no news is good news. My grandma said a long time ago that the things she worried about never happened, and the things that did happen she never could have imagined! Anyway, anxiously awaiting news about the baby.

[@sarahcopeland1494]

How wonderful to hear from you. Happy New Year. Blessings.

Yes our life savers are made in Australia 🇦🇺 I love you EVERETT. SO MUCH yes they are made in south west SYDNEY IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 EVERETT THEY HAVE A FACTORY THERE and they have a factory in New Zealand too But a lot of the Darrell Lea life savers are made in Sydney Australia Darrell Lea Is a Australian company the company was founded in 1927 after the great depression. It was founded by an immigrant man called Harry LEVY. IT HAS SINCE HAD TO SELL ITS MANY DARRELL LEA STORES IN 2012 but they do make Darrell Lea candy. For adults and children and u can by em in supermarkets in Australia The company has always been in Sydney. But many overseas. Have tried to by our company and told no as it’s our Australian company. To stay in Australia 🇦🇺 but people in the USA have grown to love our Darrell Lea candy AND have wanted it to made over in America but we our people say. Never to be taken away from Australia due to Darell Lea is what has made Australia 🇦🇺 great and. People send our country for Darell Lea and other stuff to other countries people around the world to experience. This candy. Love from Kate last Australia

[@sharonclifford7539]

Happy New Year! The soggy bread and toasted cheese are the best part.😂 Now I need to make some, it’s been a while. My hubby’s favorite soup. ❤😊🎉🥳 I’ll bet Benett doesn’t wait until Spring to ride that bike. Kids ride them in the snow around here!

[@nikkibraxton5365]

Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year from South Carolina! The boys love gummies and Mark likes cinnamon candy. Lauren what's your favorite candy? Love the Christmas video. Hope you're doing well and have a safe holiday!! Love to you all!

[@stacyrussell460]

Agreed! Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's stores are quite the experience. I love walking around & looking at everything. It gives us a lot of ideas for camping trips. Happy New Year, Hamm Family!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Yes, so much to look at!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Sweet Everett, Life savers are originally created in America, whilst we love them in Australia they are American. I hope Santa found you on Christmas Day with lots of toys and books. 😊

[@shirleyperry8593]

Awesome.. I'm from Australia and didn't know that. Learning every day x

[@Jenngail22]

I actually think they are originally made in Canada, that’s what I always thought lol

[@brilliantbutblue]

@Jenngail22 : I thought they were Australian as we make them in Australia. However, they are, in fact, originally created in Ohio America, actually didn't realise this until l had seen them in American Costco videos. I think the flavours vary around the world so it's always nice to see what other countries have. 😊

[@brilliantbutblue]

@shirleyperry8593 : I grew up thinking they were Australian. My favourite as a child was the five flavours in the roll. I wish they still made that one.

[@Jenngail22]

@@brilliantbutblue here in Canada we have the lifesavers gummies in cherry, lime, pineapple, grape, and orange flavour, also in those flavours but hard candy ones, also have peppermint and spearmint hard candy lifesavers.

[@sciwolf359]

[@garsu1229]

Wha t do you do with those beautiful gingerbread houses after?

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We display them in the kitchen and the kids eat all the candy off them.

[@kelliepineda9822]

but your tall good size for Santa my brother is fireman n dresses as pants every year. one you I think 2003ish all lids where middle school n down my 3 youngest my brother's 2 boys n my sisters 3 n my brother had someone call him on fire radio so everyone heard that he was needed ( he was on call that night) so he left n we continued on with Christmas festivities n about 30 mins later he came back dressed as Santa n had toys for all our k8ds n 3 of the kids from the street. my dad went over to their house n asked the parents whst the kids had ask Santa n only Santa for n their dad said come on let's go get your kids n ours there requests off to Kmart they went. all 5he kids shocked n did know it was him for bout 2 more yrs n how they found out someone posted ( think newspaper) Santa on the fire truck. we had good fun 3 years with it but he still dressed up til bout 2012 only 1 of his sons still in high school . great times great memories

[@beverlybroomfield3235]

Your lucky I live I'm Michigan and we had rain for Christmas it's crazy merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@cindymoore9096]

I’m with the boys. I think I prefer cheese toast with a mug of french onion soup. =) Also, if you have any soup leftover, it makes a great base for the gravy of Salisbury steak. 😋 For anyone unfamiliar with it, Salisbury steak is basically substantial hamburger patties that are cooked (pan fry, air fry, griddle, grill, bake, whatever) and then simmered in a brown gravy. I like mushrooms and onions in my gravy. =)

[@melissairvin7518]

Merry Christmas Loren Mark And Weston Bennett Hunter and Everett and baby girl and Ms Luna❤❤

We do have Lifesavers in America😍 Maybe seeing them in the bag they look different . they usually come in a tube. My grandmother always carried wintergreen. Lifesavers in her purse. My aunt would give us at Christmas the Santa Claus book that had like eight different life saver flavors. There are hard candy. praying for your wonderful family. God bless.🙏🙏❤️

[@Traveler-nu8xc]
