I claim “first spot” for 2007
I meant to post this a few weeks ago, but had forgotten until now…
I was in my local shopping centre over Easter Weekend, and noticed that Millies Cookies had out for sales their “Christmas Cookies” - I enquired why they were Christmas cookies, and why they were being sold at Easter…
Apparently they contain the same stuff used to fill that staple of Christmas confectionary - mince pie. As for why they were being sold at Easter, she didn’t know…
Is that some kind of record - selling Christmas stuff before Easter Sunday?

Yeah, it is a tad early to say the least! I get the whole ’selling off Christmas stock in January’, but surely cookies are baked pretty much as and when?
Being in the ‘Fresh Food Service’ industry myself, I don’t understand how Millies can really consider selling Christmas cookies at Easter, to be honest. If we get a stupid seasonal product in, it remains, quite firmly, in the stupid seasonal time. Not before and not after. And if I had my way, not ever.
And now I’ve thought about it, mince pie type filling in a cookie? Ugh! (Sorry, I dislike Mince Pies, Christmas Cake etc… (It’s a genuine distaste, just like cheese…))
Yeah, a mince-pie cookie didn’t appeal to me either… especially as there are such things as “Easter Biscuits”.
