Baby Cakes but its still.a big huge thing in America the museam puts on a free showing of people who go all out in make several rooms worth of a gingerbread village the whole toen comes to see it usually
@@babycakes8973 Yeah so? Lost of things came here that way, from other places. Tends to happen when people abandon the bad countries they come from, to seek a better life here. And I can assure you most of the time, the unique recipes or ingredients that went into old world cuisine often made much of the food very American and unique. That's why you'll see a disparity for example, between what we think of as Eggnog versus what the Brits have now. Sometimes we even preserve foods & traditions that fell out of favor in their home country but stayed alive here.
What part in the US do people actually eat these foods? Because as far as I know, nobody in my family eats these things. Nor do I know anyone who eats these foods during the holidays.
I've had eggnog cupcakes and cheese puffs, but I never thought of cheese puffs as a specifically Christmas food. I think you have to know someone who's really, really into baking to get something like an eggnog cupcake.
I'm an American who's lived in America my whole life and who celebrates Christmas every year, and I've never tried any of these so-called American Christmas treats.
You got to... Especially A cheese ball...omg there are so many cheese ball types... p.s the Chocolate was Peppermint Bark without the white chocolate......
They didn't look like cheese biscuits. When broken open, they squished like they were partly hollow. The might have been cheese puffs, which I've heard of and had described to me, but never had. Descriptions make it sound like a savory beignet? Or maybe like a cheese bread with really huge air bubbles for the sponge? Can someone who's actually had then help describe?
A cheese ball (usually covered with chopped nuts or herbs, not "pommygrannies"), and cheese puffs we serve at any party, not specifically Christmas. Eggnog is a drink made with dairy cream, egg and liquor. Chestnuts we don't see so much in the U.S., since a fungal blight wiped out almost all of the American chestnut species about 100 years ago - I assume the chestnuts we get now are imported.
macthegov Those are other species and are not widely used. We still have American chestnut trees but they only live a short time before they succomb to the blight, which is still causing problems, here.
A good deal, yes. I know that Japanese "kuri" chestnuts are quite popular up where I live in the Pacific NW. I'm personally not a fan, but I don't really any sort of nut.
I am willing to work for Facts. for free, to perform a vetting process on these "American" taste tests... Like have you guys ever asked an American about these things before you make a video about it??
I hadn't heard of it until this past Christmas when it was served at 2 of the holiday parties I attended. I live in St. Louis, and it seems to be a trending treat here. :-)
Ran across a packet of them in Krogers (southeast US) a week or so ago. Didn't pick them up as I have absolutely no idea what to do with them or how they'd turn out (mental cost-benefit analysis failure)
Well... The Chocolate is just Peperment bark without the white chocolate and the Cheese ball is eaten in Illinois. Although, a typical Midwest cheese ball/log uses Cranberries.
Like... yes we have cheese balls/logs, but pomegranate is far too fancy. Maybe has nuts like pecans or almonds, or chives, or even MORE CHEESE, ONLY SHREDDED!
Born and raised in NY. Heard of most of these foods but haven't had a single one. Though what I love the most about this video is the "Happy Christmas" greeting at the end. I have never once heard an American person say that. "Merry Christmas" is the typical saying. So that bit made me grin a little.
other than the peppermint buttercrunch (which im assuming is peppermint bark or like it bc idk wtf buttercrunch is) and cheese ball (we roll ours in some type of nut though, not pomegranate) i dont recognize any of these foods 😂
I'm from America and I gotta say I've never even seen one of these desserts, most of the time you guys are spot on but this time I feel like these are what we're supposed to eat but non of us actually do
and how do you know what the county actually eats ? i mean its freaking huge america has 6 different time zones in 1 country thats how huge its is so im sure that is american Christmas Food somwhere in that country :D
Sometimes I wonder, if when they title it “America”, do they mean both north and south, or do they mean the US? I live in the states, but I’ve never been exposed to any of those foods. I’m sure they exist, I’ve just never personally had them. It could also be due to my culture, and those not being traditional to eat for Christmas dinner.
Since I'm from the west, and we usually at least hear about the major yankee traditions, I always assumed it was dixie shit. Especially when it's something that actually looks worth eating.
Gingerbread, eggnog, iced sugar cookies in fun shapes, mixed nuts, fruitcake, cheese balls (without pomegranate), ham, wassail, turkey, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, beef roast, peppermint sticks and candy canes. That's what Americans eat on Christmas. We definitely don't eat anything with pomegranate.
I've seen the cheese puffs in some parts of Wisconsin (shocking right), especially near me in Milwaukee, but yeah, the other things I've never seen or heard of. Although, eggnog cupcakes should definitely be a thing everywhere because those looked incredible.
Those foods literally only exist on Pinterest in the US. They are fabrications of over-achieving stay at home moms who decorate their entire minimalist homes in white and light grey.
It isn't just this particular video, most of the foods in the 'Irish People Taste _______" series of videos are unrecognizable to most of us here in 'Merica ... I've scratched my head at quite a few of them. Regardless, Cheers to all and safe travels this Holiday season regardless of what you celebrate and what you eat while doing so.
I have NEVER heard of any of these but I so want the recipes for ALL of them so I can try them. First video where I can say that I really envy your tasters.
Nope...no resemblance to any of the Xmas food I've ever eaten or seen in America. You got close when you mentioned eggnog, but...pomegranate cheeseball? Somebody's smokin' the rope...:)... But, all that said...Happy Christmas to you all, loved the video anyhow!
Umm, I grew up in the states and I've never had these.... We basically have Thanksgiving food (Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, dressing, etc) but with things like Christmas cookies (sugar cookies with Christmas decorations), egg nog, apple cider, fruit cake, cranberry sauce, pies (apple/pumpkin), etc.
I've had none of these on Christmas. Maybe a cheese ball but not a pomegranate one and mine is usually called brain dip. I've heard of cheese biscuits but not on Christmas. I want to know what part of America eats this during the h💿l💿days because here in central Illinois it's way different.
I'd like to know where they get their information from as I am another American here to say that I've never eaten any of these foods for Christmas dinner. lol
American waiting for something she recognizes. Nope. Nothing. Did your researcher get some random edgy cookbook? None of these look terrible but they're not "American traditions".
irrational moon agreed, my very Midwest American family has never heard of any of this it might as well European. What an insult to the Christmas feast we have.
Living in the US Ive never heard or had any of that. Our Christmas dinner is essentially the same as our thankgving meal. Maybe slightly different here or there but over all the same dinner for both holidays.
I’m American and I’ll never had any of these. These are not American Christmas foods. Facts you’ve failed AGAIN ! American Christmas Food 1. Christmas-themed Decorated Sugar Cookies 2. Fruit Cakes -which are disgusting 3. Eggnog or Custard drink 4. Pies ...to name a few
WUT LOL I am having: roast beef, mashed potatoes, some sort of green veg, cheese & snacky things like olives etc, gingerbread cookies, more cookies purchased at Trader Joe’s (decorated sugar cookies or short bread), hot chocolate from packets, booze. I think all of this is familiar to most of the English speaking world.
Christmas traditionally is turkey.. Roast beef is more for birthdays..or maybe Presidents Day..and pumpkin pie- or mincemeat pie in New England..Sugar cookies are for any day .. but shortbread made correctly is definitely a treat.
Spot on. We're having duck, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin puree, mashed potatoes, ham, eggnog, hot chocolate, fruit cake and gingerbread cookies. No idea what most of the stuff in the video are.
nunya Yea I have my silo full of mushroom soup. Me n' the missus is gonna hitch up our buggy and take the monthly haul of mushroom soup to town. Better not get in a shootout though. Also... more fake cliche Texas stuff.
OMG I can't get enough of you guys reacting to everything. I thrill when I find one I haven't seen lol. The surstromming one makes my sides ache, as do many of you guys' antics. Also laughed til it hurt with u guys getting hammered on the Absinthe and Moonshine. Stuff to watch once a week or so like a happy pill, haha. Keep it up, please! 🤣
What part of the United States did you reference? I’m familiar with all of the ingredients, but none of the recipes. They look more Pinterest than anything else. I’ve never equated cheese biscuits with the holidays. For my family Christmas Eve has oyster stew, chili, and cookies. Christmas Day is Thanksgiving part 2.
Whatever American you're consulting is putting you on. These things aren't eaten. Not anywhere nor at any time, but definitely not in America at Christmas.
I learned so much about what is available food-wise in the states from this show, considering that's where I was born and bred! Never heard of any of these snacks, but now would like to try them LOL!
Merry Christmas Facts crew! I have to agree with my fellow Americans that I have never eaten or heard of any of these. Whiskey eggnog and Christmas cookies, thats about it!
I'm an American from California and never heard of these Christmas foods. I'm curious as to what part of America are these Christmas treats actually from??
William Adderholdt, my mom loved fruit cake. It was good for her because it was the only time in a house full of kids she got the whole cake to herself.
I'm American... Have lived in Louisiana most of my life, but I have also lived in West Virginia, Minnesota and Georgia and have never heard of any of these foods 😶
Phoxy Bourgeois right! Lived in california and in parts of the south and east coast. Never heard of any of these. Now i gotta google all these monstrosities lol
I'm from the U.S.A. & have been cooking for over 45 years & I've never even HEARD of some of these! The cheese balls that I make are made w/ sausage & extra-sharp Cheddar, so they smell savory, not disgusting. Great Eggnog is homemade (I make mine "from scratch"). It's a DRINK, not a cupcake, made w/ milk, cream, eggs, nutmeg, & spirits. You can put either rum OR brandy in it. (I prefer brandy). Where's the Gingerbread? Gingerbread has been part of the U.S.A.'s baking since the Pilgrims came over. (Betty Crocker's 1951 cookbook has 3 recipes for it, 1 of which I make every Christmas. This cookbook is so popular it was reprinted in the 2000's by popular demand.) And it's called Peppermint Bark here. In the Southwest you can get a spicy version of it made w/ chili peppers.
Yeah... but... they could've picked other things Americans actually eat... Or could've just not done the video since we probably eat similar things to Irish people.
Pecan pie, toffee covered with chocolate, almond bark, pralines (I grew up in Louisiana), German Chocolate Cake, carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting are a few of my favorite things.
That's because the USA is so big that while we all eat potatoes we eat them in different ways. The exception is french fries and potatoes chips and there's still a lot of variety in the USA with those two items.
@@windyhawthorn7387 I'm Canadian but my mom is from Atlanta, Georgia and the most we've had was sweet potatoes. I've never even heard of a chestnut cookie. And that pomegranate thing looked weird as hell. 😂
As an American, cheese biscuits aren't only for Christmas. You will find peppermint butter crunch in the chocolate shops around us. Chestnut cookies are really fall around here. And eggnog cupcakes are a thing. A wonderful thing.
every christmas eve our church (small one) would hand out paper lunch bags filled with chocolate drops, ribbon candy, taffies and big fat oranges to every child after the service. it was a thrill we looked forward to each year. (we were a poor farming town, not many treats to be had.) they are absolutely right about the cheese bisquits smelling like dirty feet....but, the taste? yummo!
I may bring shame upon myself for this but I love those Little Debbie christmas tree cakes- the vanilla ones with the sugar sprinkles on them. I get super excited every Christmas for them.
I'm an older American and I've never heard of any of these things in my life! The closest was egg nog, but that's a drink, not a pastry. Gingerbread cookies--butter cookies--maybe peanut brittle plus the usual desserts, yes--but not these! Anyway, glad that most enjoyed most of them!
Ohioan here with Kentucky roots. The cookies were Mexican wedding cookies, I've just never seen them made with chestnuts. We make them for Christmas every year, but with pecans. Maybe in New England they use chestnuts. Though those grow wild in Ohio and Kentucky so I dunno why we wouldn't have done that. We have an unhealthy attachment to pecans though so there's that. The cheese biscuits or puffs we definitely make, though we usually also put sausage in our dough along with the cheese. Delish. We definitely have a cheese ball but not with pomegranate, ours has pecans rolled on the outside (shocking, I know). Eggnog is a classic though I've never had cupcakes with it. Never tell my husband those exist or I'll have to make those. I've actually made that peppermint bark with the toffee inside. That's definitely a classic. I think America is just huge and most of these traditions are so region specific. I dunno if there really could be a "Christmas food" episode that would be all-encompassing.
I’ve never even heard of these. Why no gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate drop cookies and the like? Like, really? Who even eats eggnog muffins?
Okay I have to comment. These were not American Christmas Foods! I do make a cheese ball, but mine has like cheddar cheese cream cheese and then walnuts on the outside. My mother used to make sausage cheese balls but other than that I have never had any of the other food and I've been an American for 48 years. You guys really missed out on some amazing food. Ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, yeasty rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, sometimes a beef roast or rib roast. And then on Christmas Eve my mother would have what she would call accoutrements. Otherwise appetizers. We have chocolate no-bake cookies, fudge, sugar cookies, Maple candy. You guys would have a much better Christmas if you came to my house. You guys have a wonderful Christmas! Your videos bring me joy!
Rachel Marks I have seen every single facts video they have on their Channel. Just a little frustrated today. They just don't get the best food that America has to offer. When they did Texas food that was ridiculous. I was born in Texas and I've never eaten most of that food. They just deserve better!
Chestnut cookies? Where the heck did you find chestnuts? I've never seen one, let alone made a cookie with them. I'd love to try some sometime. Cheesy poofs? Those are cheese biscuits, and they aren't associated with Christmas at all. I make them when I make clam chowder. I've seen eggnog cupcakes, but it's a store thing and not traditional. Eggnog is a drink, sometimes spiked. I've never liked it, but my other half does. I'm glad they liked some of them, but most of them aren't really traditional Christmas foods. Of course, "Christmas" foods are more family traditions rather than national ones. I make beef and noodles on Christmas eve, with candied carrots and peas. My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother did the same. We always do an iced shortbread cookie for kids and Santa. Christmas day is usually a whole baked ham with sweet potatoes, a nice salad, cranberry sauce and home made dinner rolls. Dessert is a dark fruit cake (not at all like those awful bought ones). My other half makes a pistachio cake with green whipped cream icing and red icing trim to take to friends. Boxing day is potato soup and ham salad sandwiches. And yes, we all gain about 10 pounds at Christmas.
Yes! They're called cheese biscuits and I eat them rarely and never on Christmas, wtf? I eat mainly the same things but my mom hates fruit cake so we have cookies or trifle. Leftovers for a couple days after.
Those cheese puffs looked like cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster. I've had roasted chestnuts but never heard of them in a cookie. I agree that it differs depending on the family. Our family typical Christmas eve was more snacks less dinner but included nachos, tamales, cheese and crackers, salami, olives and other chips and dips. Christmas day was usually Pozole or Ham and fixings.
Hot roasted chestnuts are an awesome NYC street vendor staple in the winter..yummm. You can buy canned candied chestnuts in most grocery stores too, at least in metro NYC area.
Cheeseballs and variations of are served at just about every party, cheese puffs weren't cheese puffs those were cheddar bay biscuits and we eat those with soups too. The cookies are Mexican wedding cookies only they made them with chestnuts instead of pecans, and yeah they're pretty much served for Christmas where I am from, eggnog cupcakes I've heard of but never had.
Wisconsin here - have seen the peppermint bark , the eggnog cupcakes, the cheese puffs & the cheese ball before. Except the cheese ball with crackers I've seen/had have been with mandarin oranges or nuts. And the cheese biscut/puffs are all year round food.
They are obviously desserts inspired by classic American christmas flavors such as eggnog, peppermint, and cheeseballs. All of the comments about how we don't eat these desserts here in America are pretty redundant because they are basing their experiences from individual family and regional traditions. Cheeseballs are a classic American Christmas party dish. Eggnog flavored desserts (cookies, cupcakes etc) are also a common American Christmas party sight. Peppermint desserts that utilize crushed candy canes are also pretty common.
These are not American Christmas foods. Spiced gumdrops Processed cheese ball with crushed or slivered nuts on the outside Mixed nuts Fruitcake Sugar cookies Eggnog that's been doctored Those are American Christmas foods.
Nonsense. I'm glad you have your own family preference for Christmas food, but those are all American, I've had most of them thanks to my Grandmother. America is a diverse place.
In what America did you get these foods? Because in the one I've lived in my entire life I've never heard of a single one of them.
Real America! lol
I’m in Texas and have never eaten any of these...
Same here...love the Facts shoots, but I've never eaten/heard of any of these.... (California)
grew up in new york half my life and never heard of any of these and the other half ive lived in florida and have never heard of these, im 23
The chocolate was Peppermint Bark without the White chocolate!
The next video should be "American People Taste Test American Christmas Food," because none of us even know what these are! 😂
True
Sparky Mularkey LMFAO! Yeah... never had any of that food for Christmas 😂
I’ve never tried this either. Where do they get these things?! 😂
Lol true that!!
American here, never heard of any of these desserts.
LMAO.....By all the comments it looks like I wasent the only confused American during this video.
+Randy Cooper Wasn't**
Yup these are strange foods
100% American here. Never heard of any of these
I've heard of cheese puffs (Panera), but none of the other.
Yep.
100% Canadian. Never heard of them either. 😂
I’m American as well and I concur with the op
Should have done eggnog, decorated sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, chex party mix, peppermint bark, and peanut brittle.
Andrew Guthrie and chocolate fudge!!
Eggnog originated in the UK and gingerbread from Europe lol
Baby Cakes but its still.a big huge thing in America the museam puts on a free showing of people who go all out in make several rooms worth of a gingerbread village the whole toen comes to see it usually

Probably rich old yellow haired orange men.
Pomegranate cheese balls?
You've obviously never been invited to a Christmas cocktail party. Sucks to be as uninformed and unpopular as you.
1. Gingerbread cookies
2. A glass of eggnog
3. Fruitcake
4. Peppermint Bark
5. Candy Canes
6. Chocolate Oranges
I NEED A CHOCOLATE ORANGE NOW!!!!!!!!
Don't forget the Fudge! Can't make Giant Ginger bread cookies without a side of fudge
Tamales
Cynthia Marquez yes, classic Hispanic/Latin food.
Yule log

yea look how small america is mst3k.joel was alredy everywhere so he can sa that that are not these so-called American Christmas treats
And since it wasn't white chocolate, it is not the Christmas variety.
Uhhhh, Cheese Puffs? You mean Cheese Biscuits from Red Lobster? Because that is what that was, you can eat them any time of year.
Exactly. 😂😂😂😂
Cheese puffs are from the cheeto brand 😂

Chestnuts are actually kind of hard to find in the US. Despite the song, they really aren't a popular item; most people have never had them.
Ran across a packet of them in Krogers (southeast US) a week or so ago.
Didn't pick them up as I have absolutely no idea what to do with them or how they'd turn out (mental cost-benefit analysis failure)
I used some once in my Thanksgiving stuffing. They have a mild but very distinctive flavor and a very nice smell. But the shells are hard to get off.
Easy to find for me... we actually had an American Chestnut tree in our yard... dang things are a pain though with those burrs.
Your local squirrels must be nicely fed. Do you do anything with them? The chestnuts I mean, not the squirrels.
Street vendors sold hot roasted chestnuts in NYC in the winter when I was a kid. I don't know if they still do.
I'm american, and I can't say that I have eaten any of this

I've had peppermint bark once or twice but none of the other things, haven't even heard of them
+Anthony Peters By no stretch of the imagination is a Pomegranete cheeseball a traditional American Christmas food.
I’m pretty sure a cheese puff is a cheese biscuit? Like the ones from Red Lobster haha that’s what they look like
Agreed, I don't remember waking up to chestnuts at any given Xmas point in life.
I'm a damn dirty Yank, and aside from the Cheese Biscuit, I've never had any of this expressly for Christmas...
ALAPINO. Same, not even the cheese biscuits. I've had cheese log, but with chive/ham, not pomegranate.
I've never had, or ever heard of, having cheese biscuits for Christmas.
Never had any of these for Christmas.
Well, don't look at us, we don't eat those, either-The South
Ditto !!
"What is eggnog?"
An excuse to drink rum around the kids

All seems pretty standard if you have spent time around families that have been here for a few generations and have kept up tranditions.
Well there's 45 more states out there besides what you mentioned so...
I am Christmas food and I've never heard of America.

I like the videos but I'm tired of the food never being what that country ACTUALLY eats.
That's kind of the whole channel; trolling for comments.
and how do you know what the county actually eats ? i mean its freaking huge america has 6 different time zones in 1 country thats how huge its is so im sure that is american Christmas Food somwhere in that country :D

Agreed. xD
abcmole , I guess this has turned into a not me either. I have the same kind of Christmas dinner and snacks you do.😋😋😋😋😋
I'll take my pomegranate juice with vodka!
closest thing they got was a cheeseball.
These videos always crack me up. I sooo want to invite them all over to my house and cook for days for them.
WHAT ARE THESE FOODS?! -an American
Same, I've never seen any of these and I've lived down there
I’ve never had a single one of them either! They picked the weirdest things on the planet!!

Nope. Nothing. Did your researcher get some random edgy cookbook?
None of these look terrible but they're not "American traditions".
irrational moon fuck up
irrational moon agreed, my very Midwest American family has never heard of any of this it might as well European. What an insult to the Christmas feast we have.
Alex G
What an insult you are to Irish people. Go away!
Living in the US Ive never heard or had any of that. Our Christmas dinner is essentially the same as our thankgving meal. Maybe slightly different here or there but over all the same dinner for both holidays.
I’m American and I’ll never had any of these. These are not American Christmas foods. Facts you’ve failed AGAIN !
American Christmas Food
1. Christmas-themed Decorated Sugar Cookies
2. Fruit Cakes -which are disgusting
3. Eggnog or Custard drink
4. Pies
...to name a few
SplashyGodTV same
SplashyGodTV no one cares
WUT LOL
I am having: roast beef, mashed potatoes, some sort of green veg, cheese & snacky things like olives etc, gingerbread cookies, more cookies purchased at Trader Joe’s (decorated sugar cookies or short bread), hot chocolate from packets, booze. I think all of this is familiar to most of the English speaking world.
Christmas traditionally is turkey.. Roast beef is more for birthdays..or maybe Presidents Day..and pumpkin pie- or mincemeat pie in New England..Sugar cookies are for any day .. but shortbread made correctly is definitely a treat.
Spot on. We're having duck, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin puree, mashed potatoes, ham, eggnog, hot chocolate, fruit cake and gingerbread cookies. No idea what most of the stuff in the video are.
I found this channel a couple days ago. Been binge watching for 2 days now. Great show!
what the hell are these foods?
im from Texas, & never heard of any of this.
You answered your own question... That's funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Paige Chadwell same here
You mean the Texas that is famous for it's mushroom soup?
its pinterest food
nunya Yea I have my silo full of mushroom soup. Me n' the missus is gonna hitch up our buggy and take the monthly haul of mushroom soup to town. Better not get in a shootout though. Also... more fake cliche Texas stuff.
Who else is American and has never heard of anything they ate?
Bonus points to Harker for donning THE Christmas outfit - makes me want to play "Fairytale of New York".
OMG I can't get enough of you guys reacting to everything. I thrill when I find one I haven't seen lol. The surstromming one makes my sides ache, as do many of you guys' antics. Also laughed til it hurt with u guys getting hammered on the Absinthe and Moonshine. Stuff to watch once a week or so like a happy pill, haha. Keep it up, please! 🤣
I'm an American and I've eaten these things in Christmas time.
Fun watching.
Thanks
I'm an american and I've never eaten any of this!
Dan delion same with me.
I’m American and I haven’t heard of any of these foods.
What part of the United States did you reference? I’m familiar with all of the ingredients, but none of the recipes. They look more Pinterest than anything else. I’ve never equated cheese biscuits with the holidays.
For my family Christmas Eve has oyster stew, chili, and cookies. Christmas Day is Thanksgiving part 2.
these 6 are probably the most delightful combo in this channel that i've seem.
Yeah I've never heard of these desserts. And I live in Arkansas
I’ve never had not heard of any of these 😂 and I’m American
Not even the goofy chees ball or the dark chocolate with peppermint candy in it! gasp o my good lord!
You got to... Especially A cheese ball...omg there are so many cheese ball types... p.s the Chocolate was Peppermint Bark without the white chocolate.
Savannah Young ,keep like that talking and American you might can be maybe
Whatever American you're consulting is putting you on.
These things aren't eaten. Not anywhere nor at any time, but definitely not in America at Christmas.
This channel is so much better than Buzzfeed
I learned so much about what is available food-wise in the states from this show, considering that's where I was born and bred! Never heard of any of these snacks, but now would like to try them LOL!
Merry Christmas to you all as well!! Keep up the great work!!
Merry Christmas Facts crew! I have to agree with my fellow Americans that I have never eaten or heard of any of these.
Whiskey eggnog and Christmas cookies, thats about it!
I'm an American from California and never heard of these Christmas foods. I'm curious as to what part of America are these Christmas treats actually from??
Oh so no fruit cake!? *walks out*
Does anyone actually eat fruit cake? 🤔
William Adderholdt same question as asking if any American actually eats these foods for Christmas
William Adderholdt, absolutely! I get one from my mom every year for my birthday. The best are cheap Claxton ones from Texas.
William Adderholdt, my mom loved fruit cake. It was good for her because it was the only time in a house full of kids she got the whole cake to herself.
I actually like fruit cake and so does my grandpa. But homemade, not store bought.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY FAVORITE UA-cam GROUP!
You guys were great, thanks for the laughs! I have tried variations of all of these foods, just different versions of it put together! From America:)
I'm American... Have lived in Louisiana most of my life, but I have also lived in West Virginia, Minnesota and Georgia and have never heard of any of these foods 😶
Phoxy Bourgeois right! Lived in california and in parts of the south and east coast. Never heard of any of these. Now i gotta google all these monstrosities lol
You got to... Especially A cheese ball...omg there are so many cheese ball types... p.s the Chocolate was Peppermint Bark without the white chocolate.
Phoxy Bourgeois High five on having lived in my home state of MN...
Johnny Cliche I lived in LeSueur for almost 2 years... Have family up there
Phoxy Bourgeois I worked at the aluminum foundry there for a year, used to hang out at The Bar after work once or twice a week...
I've been an American for 47 of my 47 years and have never had any of these.
Michael mabrey me neither. Chestnuts or eggnog sure. Not these random things made from them.
Yeah, I think someone just hit up Tasty or some other yt channel for some "Christmas" snacks.
I'm from the U.S.A. & have been cooking for over 45 years & I've never even HEARD of some of these! The cheese balls that I make are made w/ sausage & extra-sharp Cheddar, so they smell savory, not disgusting. Great Eggnog is homemade (I make mine "from scratch"). It's a DRINK, not a cupcake, made w/ milk, cream, eggs, nutmeg, & spirits. You can put either rum OR brandy in it. (I prefer brandy). Where's the Gingerbread? Gingerbread has been part of the U.S.A.'s baking since the Pilgrims came over. (Betty Crocker's 1951 cookbook has 3 recipes for it, 1 of which I make every Christmas. This cookbook is so popular it was reprinted in the 2000's by popular demand.) And it's called Peppermint Bark here. In the Southwest you can get a spicy version of it made w/ chili peppers.
Well we have ginger bread in Ireland so there would be no point lol
Yeah... but... they could've picked other things Americans actually eat...
Or could've just not done the video since we probably eat similar things to Irish people.
Barbara are you from Wisconsin? I have to ask cause we drink a lot of brandy here lol.
xDarkTrinityx
You do actually. Maybe they shoulda chosen a more interesting country's food.
Pecan pie, toffee covered with chocolate, almond bark, pralines (I grew up in Louisiana), German Chocolate Cake, carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting are a few of my favorite things.
In my 68 years, never have I seen or been served these items
That's because the USA is so big that while we all eat potatoes we eat them in different ways. The exception is french fries and potatoes chips and there's still a lot of variety in the USA with those two items.
@@windyhawthorn7387 I'm Canadian but my mom is from Atlanta, Georgia and the most we've had was sweet potatoes. I've never even heard of a chestnut cookie. And that pomegranate thing looked weird as hell. 😂
Never seen or eaten any of these... legitimately curious where they come up with what dishes to put in these videos
Right... Who eats Peppermint bark without the white chocolate!
As an American, I've literally never had any of that as Christmas food.
I'm an American and I've never seen any of these foods other than chocolate/peppermint bark...
Alia Crow I've seen the cheese puffs
What’s a cupcake?!
CrimsonKumiho, that flavor, idiot.
Alia Crow Good for you
As an American, cheese biscuits aren't only for Christmas. You will find peppermint butter crunch in the chocolate shops around us. Chestnut cookies are really fall around here. And eggnog cupcakes are a thing. A wonderful thing.
Happy Christmas to all you feckin' coconuts at FACTS!
Every American who just watched this is disappointed! Redo the video with actual American Christmas food!
LOL, I'm apparently living in the wrong America. Cause what was any of that food??
I've lived in America for over four decades, and I have never seen any of these foods...??
Andrea B
So what? Do you want a medal or something?
LOL, yes, please. Are you handing them out? I'll take two if you've got them.
Andrea B
You will have to work harder than that Andrea. I'm very disappointed in the food.
Cheese balls are a Xmas thing in Wisconsin but usually covered in nuts peppermint bark is pretty popular
every christmas eve our church (small one) would hand out paper lunch bags filled with chocolate drops, ribbon candy, taffies and big fat oranges to every child after the service. it was a thrill we looked forward to each year. (we were a poor farming town, not many treats to be had.)
they are absolutely right about the cheese bisquits smelling like dirty feet....but, the taste? yummo!
I’ve never heard of any of these!
American Xmas food consist of ham, tamales, homemade cookies and beer!! Well here in Texas hahaha
I may bring shame upon myself for this but I love those Little Debbie christmas tree cakes- the vanilla ones with the sugar sprinkles on them. I get super excited every Christmas for them.
Grease coated grease.
they're pure trash and I don't care, I get a box every year.
I'm an older American and I've never heard of any of these things in my life! The closest was egg nog, but that's a drink, not a pastry. Gingerbread cookies--butter cookies--maybe peanut brittle plus the usual desserts, yes--but not these! Anyway, glad that most enjoyed most of them!
Ohioan here with Kentucky roots. The cookies were Mexican wedding cookies, I've just never seen them made with chestnuts. We make them for Christmas every year, but with pecans. Maybe in New England they use chestnuts. Though those grow wild in Ohio and Kentucky so I dunno why we wouldn't have done that. We have an unhealthy attachment to pecans though so there's that. The cheese biscuits or puffs we definitely make, though we usually also put sausage in our dough along with the cheese. Delish. We definitely have a cheese ball but not with pomegranate, ours has pecans rolled on the outside (shocking, I know). Eggnog is a classic though I've never had cupcakes with it. Never tell my husband those exist or I'll have to make those. I've actually made that peppermint bark with the toffee inside. That's definitely a classic. I think America is just huge and most of these traditions are so region specific. I dunno if there really could be a "Christmas food" episode that would be all-encompassing.
I’ve never even heard of these. Why no gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, chocolate drop cookies and the like? Like, really? Who even eats eggnog muffins?
Okay I have to comment. These were not American Christmas Foods! I do make a cheese ball, but mine has like cheddar cheese cream cheese and then walnuts on the outside. My mother used to make sausage cheese balls but other than that I have never had any of the other food and I've been an American for 48 years. You guys really missed out on some amazing food. Ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, yeasty rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, sometimes a beef roast or rib roast. And then on Christmas Eve my mother would have what she would call accoutrements. Otherwise appetizers. We have chocolate no-bake cookies, fudge, sugar cookies, Maple candy. You guys would have a much better Christmas if you came to my house. You guys have a wonderful Christmas! Your videos bring me joy!
Gingerbread and spice cookies, mulled wine.
They have done more cmas foods in previous videos. Calm down and go watch those
Katrina Rochon Good for you
Katrina
So right!
Rachel Marks I have seen every single facts video they have on their Channel. Just a little frustrated today. They just don't get the best food that America has to offer. When they did Texas food that was ridiculous. I was born in Texas and I've never eaten most of that food. They just deserve better!
Chestnut cookies? Where the heck did you find chestnuts? I've never seen one, let alone made a cookie with them. I'd love to try some sometime.
Cheesy poofs? Those are cheese biscuits, and they aren't associated with Christmas at all. I make them when I make clam chowder.
I've seen eggnog cupcakes, but it's a store thing and not traditional. Eggnog is a drink, sometimes spiked. I've never liked it, but my other half does.
I'm glad they liked some of them, but most of them aren't really traditional Christmas foods. Of course, "Christmas" foods are more family traditions rather than national ones. I make beef and noodles on Christmas eve, with candied carrots and peas. My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother did the same. We always do an iced shortbread cookie for kids and Santa. Christmas day is usually a whole baked ham with sweet potatoes, a nice salad, cranberry sauce and home made dinner rolls. Dessert is a dark fruit cake (not at all like those awful bought ones). My other half makes a pistachio cake with green whipped cream icing and red icing trim to take to friends. Boxing day is potato soup and ham salad sandwiches.
And yes, we all gain about 10 pounds at Christmas.
Yes! They're called cheese biscuits and I eat them rarely and never on Christmas, wtf? I eat mainly the same things but my mom hates fruit cake so we have cookies or trifle. Leftovers for a couple days after.
I think the Cheese puff are made from pate choux, it's essentially a savory version of the batter used in eclairs and cream puffs.
James Coffey we do have actual chestnuts in Oklahoma. You can make cookies out of them. The rest of the stuff I've never heard of or seen made
Those cheese puffs looked like cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster. I've had roasted chestnuts but never heard of them in a cookie. I agree that it differs depending on the family. Our family typical Christmas eve was more snacks less dinner but included nachos, tamales, cheese and crackers, salami, olives and other chips and dips. Christmas day was usually Pozole or Ham and fixings.
Hot roasted chestnuts are an awesome NYC street vendor staple in the winter..yummm. You can buy canned candied chestnuts in most grocery stores too, at least in metro NYC area.
Cheeseballs and variations of are served at just about every party, cheese puffs weren't cheese puffs those were cheddar bay biscuits and we eat those with soups too. The cookies are Mexican wedding cookies only they made them with chestnuts instead of pecans, and yeah they're pretty much served for Christmas where I am from, eggnog cupcakes I've heard of but never had.
Mexican wedding cakes are covered with powered sugar and look white. Never saw any with chestnuts in them.
I have eaten all of these at parties. Nice to see them reviewed.
When you follow Harker on Instagram and can’t stop starring at her bruises 😂😘
Hi, I'm American. And none of these are a thing.
Courtney Craft BACKING
Courtney Craft
Who cares.
They are very uncommon or rare Christmas foods. Found in stores next to the fruit cake no wants to buy I guess
Facts. is always trolling us Americans with their "American food" videos and I love it. 👌😀 It's hilarious 😂
Wisconsin here - have seen the peppermint bark , the eggnog cupcakes, the cheese puffs & the cheese ball before. Except the cheese ball with crackers I've seen/had have been with mandarin oranges or nuts. And the cheese biscut/puffs are all year round food.
I've never had any of these foods during Christmas...LOL!
I could listen to him say pomegranate all day....Pommygranny
A Pommygranny would be what many of us Aussies would call our grandmother if she'd originally come from the UK :P
As an American, I’m not sure what most of these are but they don’t look bad.
They are obviously desserts inspired by classic American christmas flavors such as eggnog, peppermint, and cheeseballs. All of the comments about how we don't eat these desserts here in America are pretty redundant because they are basing their experiences from individual family and regional traditions. Cheeseballs are a classic American Christmas party dish. Eggnog flavored desserts (cookies, cupcakes etc) are also a common American Christmas party sight. Peppermint desserts that utilize crushed candy canes are also pretty common.
Rosemary cheddar biscuits were what my grandma made all December 💟
Another great shoot!!
Please do Irish People Taste American Foods from an actual American Chef ☺
The only thing I recognize is the peppermint bark. I have never seen any of the other Christmas foods
These are not American Christmas foods.
Spiced gumdrops
Processed cheese ball with crushed or slivered nuts on the outside
Mixed nuts
Fruitcake
Sugar cookies
Eggnog that's been doctored
Those are American Christmas foods.
You can have spiced gumdrops any time. I've never had those at Christmas. Regional differences, I guess. They are tasty :D
What on earth is a spiced gumdrop? 😂
Nonsense. I'm glad you have your own family preference for Christmas food, but those are all American, I've had most of them thanks to my Grandmother. America is a diverse place.
All is see are "I am american and I've never..." Comments.... But I can't get over the ending scene "Christmas is dying!" 😂😂😂 dead! 😂
This is some Martha Stewart Christmas insanity.
Y'all got our Irish friends thinking we ruined Christmas!
