SPAM, a food brand known for their canned pork recently came out with a holiday limited edition figgy pudding.
This is a take on their classic pork spam with “notes of cinnamon and nutmeg combined with fig and orange flavors, you’ll taste true holiday comfort that will have you caroling all season long,” according to the SPAM website.
Also on their website, SPAM displays ways in which you can eat their new product, showing them on skewers accompanied by figs and red onion, on a charcuterie board, and even used as a topping on top of a “Spiced dutch baby pancake.”
According to National Public Radio, this limited edition figgy pudding has already sold out on Amazon, Walmart, and the company’s website.
Along with releasing their figgy pudding, SPAM also released an animation and music video to go along with it. In this video, classic Christmas characters including Santa, reindeer, elves, a yeti, and a Christmas hog can be seen singing “We wish you a figgy Christmas” a take on the classic Christmas song ‘We wish you a merry Christmas.”
It’s clear the makers of SPAM took the line “Oh, bring us some figgy pudding” literally.
