I do like French Fancies and won't turn them down if they're in front of me, but they're not really something I would go and deliberately buy for myself. My mum brought these with her as a gift when she came for a recent visit, hence why they ended up in my food cupboard. Now that I think of it, my last packet of French Fancies (the Halloween witches' hat editions) were also a present from my mum - maybe she likes giving them as gifts, who knows!

Unlike the Halloween French Fancies and the summer editions (which were cocktail themed if I remember correctly), there's nothing particularly different about these when compared to the classic French Fancies. The vanilla flavour and the colour of the sponge are the same, with the only difference being that these are covered in a white icing, rather than pink, yellow or brown. Even the packaging isn't noticeably Christmassy.

Overall, these are nice enough but nothing particularly special. I'll give them a 7 out of 10 because they are pretty tasty and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them - they just don't stand out much in the supermarket when surrounded by all the other festive offerings!
