I love how Cam just immediately slapped it away, as soon as it hit the table! 🤣

Cam swatting that fruitcake away in less than a second of hitting the table is my favorite part of this video. I watched that part alone 10 times. Still funny

[@mrslautner89]

Christian Carrington i would have to do the same thing lol

[@SeriouslySeriousGrim]

How’d Christmas go?

[@brendarolf2296]

The reason the Reeses trees are so good is because the company makes them with a better grade of chocolate!! They do the same for all their seasonal treats!!

[@addyprince9153]

brenda that’s interesting. To me it’s Bc the chocolate is thinner and there is more peanut butter stuff

[@kylieweaver4851]

That’s weird! I find that the holiday ones (Christmas trees and pumpkins) taste worse. That’s weird!

I miss when the popcorn had 5 flavors seperated by cardboard dividers instead of 3 flavors in seperate bags

[@johnmckay202]

They still have the huge metal popcorn bins here in Canada separated by the cardboard dividers. But it's only 3 flavours and I don't ever recall seeing the 5 different flavour one. The last one I had was cheddar, plain buttered and caramel/toffee nut! Now those I agree are Nostalgia for sure!

[@johnmckay202]

What were the 5 flavours in the one you had? Just curious I used to have my own every year lol

Yes! We also have that too.

[@patriciapeart5752]

Fruit cake....you soak it in rum for a month and every week you pour more rum on it. Then by Christmas you can eat it. That is the English way to eat it. You don't just start eating fruit cake....it is mentioned to be soaked in rum....please try it the propper way.

[@pm1660]

Wow, that's an excellent idea!

[@ebantink4843]

if you have a rumtopf - then third of a cup every week, same with christmas pudding, and then the fruit is swollen and rich, and the cherries (them red things) are too delicious

[@blue6roses6blue]

@@ebantink4843 I think traditionally its brandy but you are right Rum is the way to go!

[@pz83ftw]

Cam does not consume alcohol (by choice, there's been an Oops 😉).

[@zoe9190]

I hate dried fruits and dont drink alcohol because its awful, but a christmas pudding isnt proper unless you can light it on fire with alcohol, whether alcohol poured on pudding then lit, or alcohol on fire and poured while on fire. Should be how its done. Drenched in alcohol and on fire before you serve

[@reginae3181]

Chocolate covered cherries are my absolute favorite!!!!!

[@kyleighash20011]

Same. They are the best!

[@jodyrayvictor]

My grandma kept the tin for a sewing kit and I would open it and be dissapointed and the chocolate covered cherries were & are disgusting.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I was gonna say the box is nostalgic but I've never had the cookies

[@redbluelocke4269]

After the second day of having this tin its immediately used for something else. Mines were filled with assorted buttons and sewing materials.

[@fishlady7930]

I remember the first time I have cordial cherries they were home made, probably helped that the cherries were first in alcohol and that was the filling. So to me the store bought ones are just not the same. Plus the cursed blue tin, wishing for cookies but always sewing supplies.

[@amandagossman5899]

Fruitcake is actually pretty good as french toast for breakfast, or as bread pudding for dessert. Trust me, I'm a great grandmother, I've been doing this for years. :D

[@auntiea2002]

Panettone is the best for toast or French toast.

[@JadedKate]

@@auntiea2002 french toast is best made with stale brioche. The dryness makes it better for soaking up the egg mixture. (that's why people made french toast, so that no bread would be wasted.)

[@rowie247]

OMG when the fruit cake went flying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dantastepp7413]

Ok, here's the deal with fruit cake. It has to be home made. THEN you drag out your run, baste the cake with rum, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, I mean no air. Store it in a dark cool spot ( my Mother used the top of a closet). Once a week, unwrap it, baste it in rim, rewrap. If the cake is getting too wet, let it dry some. You can do this for about a month or longer. That run makes that cake!

[@mandimoo87]

Christmas cake is a lot darker than what they had too. And is topped with marzipan and royal or fondant icing

[@ronmul1960]

Grandpa Ron says Little Debbie treats & spiked eggnog is what Santa likes.

[@snowfire5050]

I like fruitcake especially the dark one . My mother and Grandmother made the BEST fruitcake ever. At Christmas, our house smelled like gingerbread and fruitcake with a heavy sprinkling of pine (sigh) Oh the smells of a child's Christmas! BTW I LOVE your videos. I don't think I have laughed so hard as when I watch you two "try it" Please keep up the good work. Have the best Christmas and very Happy New Year! Love from Canada

Man 10/10 agree with you! My Grandmother's fruitcake was amazing. And probably flammable.

[@Nenezilla]

I loved only my grandmother's fruitcake....she put more nuts and less fruit in it. She's been gone 22 years now and so miss it!

[@redkitt3n]

I had a friend send me a fruitcake from London, when she was at Oxford. It had currants and dried candied peel and lots of rum. It was amazing. I love a good fruitcake and a good gingerbread!

Queen Anne was my grandfather's favorite candy. I can only eat one because it's so sweet. But I think of him everytime I see them.

[@ladylovesick]

OMG YES I 100% agree ! Reeses shapes ( tree,egg, pumpkins etc.) are the best ratio of PB to Chocolate.

[@gloriapaddock4618]

I love fruitcake but it has to be homemade,the bought ones are usually dry. Don’t like popcorn but it isn’t a staple for Christmas in Australia. Plum pudding and custard for dessert. I love Christmas. All the children and grandchildren are grown up but we have so much fun. Eggnog is nice. Summer is here now,we are going to have a hot one. I love watching you guys try different things. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas. Stay safe and warm.💕💕💕💕💕
