Erick DeLeon (ph) gets ready to fill and decorate the fresh batch. ERICK DELEON: This is the maple bourbon cream. Then we're going to fill it like this. VELTMAN: He makes a hole in the side of a doughnut with a wooden skewer, stuffs it with whisky-laced filling, sprinkles it with sugar. DELEON: And then we're going to torch it. (SOUNDBITE OF BLOWTORCH HISSING) CRAIG BLUM: We call it Santa's Little Helper.

In our family, we spend more time and effort planning our holiday food than any other aspect of the season. Not only do we love to eat, but we also carefully curate our sense of home and family by sharing food. And during our holiday meals, we will be serving memories with a side of nostalgia. Food is memory Are there particular foods that you simply must have during the holidays?

One of the best parts about the holidays is getting to enjoy all the fun traditions. Whether you do Elf on a Shelf each year, host an annual Hallmark movie marathon, or always order Chinese food from the same restaurant every Christmas, traditions keep the holiday magic alive. So, we're dying to know: What's a holiday tradition your family did growing up that you now realize is actually suuuper weird?
