    It's funny how this name stuck in places where this flavour profile was popular before starbucks released their drink. It used to be called 'winter spices' or just 'spiced' in the uk.

    We don't traditionally eat pumpkin pies here and for too long I thought the name implied the drink tasted like pumpkin and avoided it.

        Cranberry sauce is traditional here with christmas meals and stuff, but that canned stuff just looks obscene. Ours tends to be home made or come in glass jars, and it has a jam like consistency.

          Some people make homemade or mix it up but having the red cylinder of holiday spirit it pretty much tradiition at this point. Even if you don't want to eat it it needs to be there as decoration.

          I need a silicon one I can just leave out on the coffee table all fall and winter like the fake fruit some people have.

          I really really hate the canned stuff, and so growing up I thought I just hated cranberry sauce. Then I tried some of the jam-like stuff and was hooked. It's so much better, imo.

          Not knocking anyone's traditions here, though! Definitely do what you enjoy. It just won't be a tradition for my family, personally haha.
