Honeybells are a Holiday Tradition

Honeybells are a holiday tradition for thousands of families and they can be a tradition for your family too. Honeybells are super sweet citrus fruits that are only around at Christmas, which makes them a treasured part of the holidays. These hybrid fruits are a combination of a tangerine and a grapefruit, and they have the sweet taste of the tangerine and the large amounts of juice that a grapefruit has. In fact Honeybells are known for having more juice than any other citrus fruit. The sweet taste combined with the pretty and festive bell shape of the fruit has made Honeybells the citrus fruit of choice for families for generations. If you want to get Honeybells in time for the holidays though you need to order early. Many growers sell out their entire crop of Honeybells even before they pick the first fruit. People buy these gourmet fruits years in advance to make sure they have enough for the holidays each year. You can order Honeybells online in gift baskets or in a large box. Honeybell gifts are just as much of a tradition for some people who give Honeybells as corporate gifts every year, which many people really enjoy.

You can use Honeybells to create your own holiday traditions just by incorporating Honeybells into some of the traditions you already have. This year leave healthy Honeybells out for Santa instead of cookies, or add sweet Honeybell juice to champagne for Christmas dinner toasts. You can use Honeybells to cook holiday treats or use them to stuff stockings. The tradition of using oranges to stuff stockings goes back thousands of years. Using Honeybells to stuff Christmas stockings is a nice way to put your own twist on a long standing holiday tradition. And since Honeybells have less than 50 calories per fruit using these bright and cheerful fruits to create new holiday traditions is a wonderful way to teach your kids some healthy traditions for the holidays that don’t involve super sweet and high calorie cookies, cakes, and drinks.

Having holiday traditions is what makes celebrating the holidays special. Passing on special traditions like eating Honeybells at Christmas to your kids will give them a healthy start in life and teach them healthy eating habits even during the holidays when fatty foods are everywhere. But make sure that you order your Honeybells now so that you’ll get them for the holidays!
