What's more Christmassy than a peppercorn?

Last Christmas

I gave you my jam

But the very next day

You gave it away

Not even a fortnight has passed and already blueberry is back in our mouths? Go off, Bonne Maman.

Anything's a fruit when you do the research! Join us as we taste spreads 7-9 on the most IDGAF (I don't give a FRUIT) Bonne Maman Advent Calendar.

Wassail away wassail away wasail away

From the North Pole to the South Pole

Ebudæ unto Khartoum

From the deep Sea of Clouds

To Santa's workshop on the Moon

Join us for an esoteric carol quiz and our taste test of days 4-6 of the 2025 Bonne Maman advent calendar.

The quest to find the best 2025 Bonne Maman advent calendar begins! Abbey and Travis must each choose to kill one of the following: Wild Blueberry Maple Syrup, Fig Cardamom or Plum Pear Star Anise. Only one can survive to the Christmas final!

Jam the halls with jars of jam!

It's a Christmas miracle. Abbey and Travis are back to review all 24 jams in the Bonne Maman 2025 advent calendar of li'l French jellies. This year, there's a twist: We'll publish every three days, reviewing the past triduums' spreads and choosing the best of the three to move on to the grand final bracket on Christmas day.

'Twas the jam before Jam-mas, when all through the jam / Not a jam was jamming, not even a jam; / The jam were jam by the jam with jam, / Jam jam jam jam jam jam jam jam jam jam jam. It's the grand finale of "Little French Jelly Death Match" and today Abbey Kos and Travis Larchuk try the twenty-fourth of 23 jams and 1 honey, and then never eat jam ever again. Merry Christmas and thanks for joining us on this delightful journey!
