   eating my first Christmas sweets for this year. German supermarkets start selling Xmas stuff earlier and earlier each year, which will eventually culminate in them selling Xmas stuff after easter. then you get Easter stuff after Xmas.

     @kaia To combat people calling them out, Xmas sweets have been re-labeled "Herbstgebäck" (autumn sweets) in Germany. A marketing term that by definition, allows them to start selling at the start of September. Like any limited products, seasonal goods obviously make more profit.
     
     I did a double-take when I saw Baumkuchen on the shelves the other day. It's hard to complain about it though. :kagerouYum:

     @kaia It's not in supermarkets outside of autumn in the north. Makes it a special treat.
