The most underrated Halloween candies are determined to celebrate Christmas in this wildly sweet holiday mash-up with a dash of humor, a pinch of holiday cheer, and a sugar rush of Christmas magic.
The candy corn exclaimed with glee,
“What is this magic land we see?”
“It’s Christmas,” squeaked a sugarplum.
“Well, watch out, Christmas. Here we come!”
Candy corn is used to being left on the shelf long after Halloween ends, but this year, they’ve had enough of being limited to one holiday. It’s time to join the ranks of Christmas sweet treats for a new festive adventure. But there’s one problem… All the Christmas candies agree candy corn is not a Christmas treat! Can holiday joy really be shared with everyone—even candy that doesn’t seem to belong?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
What's striped and sweet and ready to celebrate Christmas? Not many readers would guess candy corn. But in Fenske's entertaining sugar-fueled romp, "the candy time forgot" across seasons rallies from its spot languishing in a pantry pumpkin pail to discover a household "wonderland of sight and sound"—and the crew of kernels wants in. Crisp rhymes detail the story's beats ("They mingled with a watchful elf/ that sat alone upon a shelf"), and lively visuals show the anthropomorphized candy corn as they splash in a cup of eggnog, "zip and zoom" through a gingerbread house, and leave sticky residue behind before an angry candy cane tries to shoo them back to their own October holiday. But the arrival of pale-skinned Santa himself—who initially mistakes the candy corn for a new kind of reindeer kibble—settles the matter with a jolly plea for inclusivity. The fantastically festive party that follows is a visual treat for all. Ages 1–4.
