This holiday season will certainly be different, but the snacks can still be as good as always. President’s Choice recently released their holiday collection—an assortment of old and new products—and we ate our way through their line to bring you some of our top picks.

PC Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

PC’s decadent cookie is the reigning champ of grocery store cookies as far as I’m concerned, and this is exactly what you’d imagine the cookie tastes like as a hot, chewy pie. The pie crust is a good mix of flaky and buttery, and the filling is gooey, chocolatey goodness. It does fall on the sweeter side, so even if you have a high tolerance, it’s likely you won’t be able to have more than one serving. It’s the epitome of decadence so we suggest you buy it for sharing. $8.99.

PC Sweet With Heat Pepperoni Flatbread

There's a honey-and-jalapeño pizza I order from my local all the time, and this flatbread hits all the same notes: salty, spicy, extra sweet, and with plenty of cheese. The crust was on the crisper side of a pizza, which is nice, since it keeps the toppings from soaking through. It also doesn't hurt that it cooks up in under 10 minutes. $3.99.

PC Cheese Collection Box

Dress up your at-home charcuterie boards with this excellent and affordable Canadian cheese box. It offers good portions of Camembert, soft peppercorn unripened goat's milk cheese and two versions of washed-rind cheese—one firm and one soft surface-ripened. It’s neatly packaged and slides back in its box easily when you’re ready to put it back in the fridge. It’s a nice mix of spreadable and solid cheeses, so eat them on their own or use them to elevate your other dishes. $25.

PC Winter Blend R&G Coffee

As far as pre-ground coffee roasts available at grocery stores go, PC offers a solid roster. The winter blend delivers on its promise, the notes of caramel and mocha are noticeable, making it almost sweet enough to drink without sugar if you’re a sweet tooth. Deeply rich and aromatic, two tablespoons makes the perfect strong cup for me. $6.99.

PC Barbecue Chicken Steamed Buns

These fluffy, sweet buns were a big hit in our household—especially for our toddler, who loves dim sum and possibly misses going to restaurants even more than his parents. Like all frozen dumplings, remember to steam these with a sheet of waxed paper underneath, or you'll lose half the bun to stickage. $7.99.

PC Peppermint Hot Chocolate Ice Cream

This ice cream is a Neapolitan dream with three uniquely holiday flavours—mint, marshmallow and hot chocolate. While it mostly just tastes like mint chocolate ice cream (the marshmallow is hard to detect), it’s still a creamy, refreshing treat. For families with different flavour preferences, the Neapolitan style makes it easy to appeal to a broad range of tastes and it’s a nice companion to holiday pies. $4.99.

PC Sea Salt Purple Kernel Popcorn

This sea salt popcorn is fluffy and tasty, an addictive treat while you devour this month’s binge-worthy shows. The purple kernel popcorn is meant to be a delicious and fluffier alternative to traditional yellow kernel popcorn, and they’re said to shatter most of their hulls when popped, resulting in an airy texture. We could’ve used more salt, but if you prefer less sodium, this is a good pick. $2.99.

PC Almond Medley

A medley of milk, dark and ruby chocolate-covered almonds—from the ruby cocoa bean, which offers a fresh berry flavour—this pouch is far too easy to finish in one sitting. I'm not a fan of ruby cocoa, so I found myself fishing for the almonds coated in the thick, creamy layer of milk and dark chocolate. But if you're partial to the unique pink flavour, you’ll be happy with this mix. $4.99.

PC Popcorn Raspberry Yogurt Bar

These bars are a sweet and festive treat. Made with cashews, Greek yogurt coating, whole grain oats and light popcorn, it's an excellent mid-day snack. The popcorn layer really does add a layer of fluffiness to the already chewy bar, a nice texture that honestly makes it easier to eat compared to some other chewy granola bars that have a tendency to get hard over time. They're also available in a peanut and sunflower seed flavour. $2.99.
