The most underrated Halloween candies are determined to celebrate Christmas in this wildly sweet holiday mash-up with a dash of humor, a pinch of holiday cheer, and a sugar rush of Christmas magic.

The candy corn exclaimed with glee,
"What is this magic land we see?"
"It's Christmas," squeaked a sugarplum.
"Well, watch out, Christmas. Here we come!"

Candy corn is used to being left on the shelf long after Halloween ends, but this year, they've had enough of being limited to one holiday. It's time to join the ranks of Christmas sweet treats for a new festive adventure. But there's one problem... All the Christmas candies agree candy corn is not a Christmas treat! Can holiday joy really be shared with everyone--even candy that doesn't seem to belong?
