Culinary Christmas - December 21: Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Featured Foods: Pumpkin pie

Does anyone remember Hanson, the one-hit-wonder group that recorded "MMMBop" back in 1997? (I'm really hoping I can ask that same question in a few years in regards to Justin Bieber.) Believe it or not, they recorded a Christmas album, which we're featuring on today's installment of Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music.

Fortunately for our Culinary Christmas theme, they decided to sing Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, which just happens to make reference to pumpkin pie.

What, you have a problem with Hanson?  (Well, in my defense, it's December 20 for cryin' out loud… do you know how hard it is to find 25 songs that reference food without reusing one you've shared in previous years! )

As a special bonus today, drop by SteveandAmySly.com to watch and compare 3 different versions of The Muppets performing the "12 Days of Christmas" (2 from 1979, 1 from 2009). You won't want to miss it!
