Christmas is the time of year when food takes centre stage throughout the entire festive period. Whether that be party food, sweet treats or a full Christmas dinner, food is the focus point of Christmas gatherings. From classic and traditional flavours to festive twists and even entirely unique flavours, the food industry is always booming in the Christmas months. Flavours are not the only important aspect of Christmas food – the seasonal colours can turn an ordinary product into a Christmas spectacle.
Plant-Ex can help you capture the festive spirit with our distinct Christmas flavours and perfect colours. Every year there are new Christmas trends for flavours but the classic flavours are simply timeless.
Classic Christmas flavours are staples during the Christmas period and arguably nothing will beat them; they deliver a sense of nostalgia and truly make you feel festive! For example, the sweet spiced blend of a mince pie immediately signifies that the Christmas period has begun.

Christmas is not all about flavours. The colours can be used to represent different Christmas elements such as Red for Santa Claus, Green for the Christmas Tree and White for snow. This can help distinguish the product as ‘Christmas’ themed for customers to recognise and highlight that they are limited edition. Plant-Ex has excellent colours for all different applications this Christmas.
