Jones Sodas, the "gourmet" beverage company out of Seattle, is at it again. After turning our stomachs a couple of years ago with a Thankgiving Holiday soda collection consisting of (I shit you not!) Turkey and Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Butter, Green Bean Casserole, Fruitcake and (mercifully) Cranberry, they also piqued our interest recently with a Halloween special black Licorice carbonated concoction. Now they've introduced their Holiday Collections for the 2007 season, and depending on your sense of daring when it comes to soda pop, these new flavors may turn out to be the perfect gift or thirst quencher (shudder).

Shoppers and drinkers interested in the Christmas Pack can discover the following novel soda flavors: Christmas Ham, Egg Nog, Christmas Tree (what?!), and Sugar Plum (potentially a keeper). Those who like their beverages to celebrate another religious persuasion can look forward to the following in the Happy Chanukah Pack: Latke (nothing screams refreshment like a fried potato pancake with onions), Apple Sauce, Jelly Doughnut (I don't get it), and my probable favorite, Chocolate Coins. The holidays are clearly upon us. For more info, check them out here
