Before making my final trip to the supermarket this morning (most shops close at 2 p.m. today) to return some deposit bottles (Pfandflaschen) from last night’s birthday party, I took a photo of the ones called Weihnachtsbier.

Of course, it featured Santa on its label for a manly touch. I would have put an image of the Christkind on it. The beer itself was very good.
Next we picked up some items from the bakery, where Adventsbrot was featured.

I did not make it all the way to the meat counter in the back or I might have spotted some Heiligabend Wurst.
Facts:
In Germany, there are 1250 different kinds of beer, 300 different types of bread and 1450 types of cold cuts/sausages. This leaves a lot of room for branding.
By the way, 89% of the Germans like to spend Christmas Eve at home with the family.
