Tis the season for Christmas cookies, homemade fudge and all kinds of festive treats we look forward to every December. But that doesn’t mean all holiday sweets are good, in fact, some Christmas Candies are actually terrible. According to The Takeout a new survey calls those out.

CandyStore.com has just come out with their annual list of the 10 worst Christmas candies.

  • The bulk candy retailer has their customers vote on their least favorite seasonal treats and this year, they got 7-thousand responses.
  • Topping the list as the most hated Christmas candy is Reindeer Corn, a red, green and white version of candy corn.
  • For the last couple of years, it’s been either number one or number two behind Christmas Nougat, which comes in second this year.
  • The nougat looks and feels like minty saltwater taffy and it continues to be one of the least favorites.
