Boswell’s Christmas Cookie was always a go-to for me for a few years. That and Northwoods. MacBaren Plumcake was also a favorite.

I agree. I bought the Peterson Christmas/Winter blend every time I could find it. The same with the Rattray's Winter editions and the Kohlhase & Kopp Winter Editions blends that are no longer to be found.
Fortunately I have cellared the K&K Winter Editions 2019, 2021 & 2022 as well as the Rattray's Winter Edition from the same years. Interesting is that Rattray's were made by K&K.
I know that Kopp has a Winter Edition 2023 (Milk Chocolate, Almond and Amaretto) but I'm leery of ordering from Estervals since my last order got bounced around by the DHL and Customs. The same with the Rattray's Winter Edition 2023 (pear, Amaretto and Rum).

Peterson stopped the Christmas editions (and the summer blends) when the pandemic hit. Unfortunately, they never started making them again.
It's an especially big loss in the UK because the Peterson Christmas blends were always released over here. Now, the only Christmas blend we get is the Gawith one. It's very nice but it'd be good to have something different for a bit of variety.
Gawith Hoggarth Seasonal Reserve. I just looked and it doesn't seem like it's in stock anywhere so maybe they aren't releasing any this year. Luckily, I've got a few tins in the cellar. I really like it, it has a cherry marzipan flavour.
Must be sold out as was available and released
I have We Three Kings that I've not tried yet, but I am currently working my way through A Corn Cob Pipe and a Button Nose in addition to Golden Days of Yore. I really get a creamy chocolate flavor from Corn Cob Pipe. Another standby every year is Boswell's Christmas Cookie. It's fantastic, albeit a sugar coma waiting to happen.
I always wanted to try McClelland Holiday Spirit as it sounds absolutely amazing.
The last order I made from America before Mcclelland shut down I had the choice between Holiday Spirit and Red and Black. I couldn't afford both so I went for a tin of the Red and Black thinking i'd get some Holiday Spirit the following year. Unfortunately, Mcclelland shut down before I had the chance. I still have the Red and Black in the cellar.
