"Of course, the presentation of the Christmas tree shape with white and red icing and green sprinkles is adorable and as festive as any snack on our list. We also enjoyed a moist cake and the delightful crunch from the sprinkles. But it was the flavor, or lack thereof, that landed these nostalgic cakes in last place. These cakes are vanilla with a vanilla cream stuffing, but we could hardly tell since they weren't even that sweet."
"As kids, we'd readily lick any residual frosting off our fingers as we'd suck the remaining frosting off birthday cake candles. But since the taste is neither sweet nor vanilla-y, frosted fingers are just a sad nuisance. Little Debbie once offered a delightful Christmas-inspired spice cake during the '90s that has since been discontinued. If you're reading this, Little Debbie, it's time for those snack cakes to make a comeback because the Christmas Tree Cakes aren't measuring up."
Fifteen store-bought Christmas snacks were tasted and ranked for taste and presentation, emphasizing festive shapes, packaging, and decorations. Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes finished last despite an adorable tree shape with white and red icing and green sprinkles. The cakes offered moist cake and a pleasant crunch from sprinkles, but the vanilla cake and vanilla cream filling lacked sweetness and distinct flavor. The white frosting was waxy, greasy, and stuck to fingers, making the snack messy to eat. A discontinued 1990s Little Debbie Christmas spice cake is recalled as preferable, and consumer opinions online are mixed.
