We are spoiled in New Jersey when it comes to food, especially our bagels. No bagel shop is a better example than The Bagel Nook.

In addition to the flavors we’re all accustomed to, they are known for their colorful bagels, unique cream cheeses, and their indulgent “Bagel Overloads.”

They’re also no stranger to getting festive for the holidays, and their Christmas menu is out now.

You definitely won’t be saying “Bah humbug” after trying these.

You’re a tasty one, Mr. Grinch!

Not only is the bagel green, but this tasty sandwich also has green eggs, Doritos, pepperoni, and cheese.

As always, they have their tie-dye bagels, but these are a little more holly-jolly.

In addition to their festive bagels, their drink menu is also getting the holiday treatment… but they’re being very coy about what the flavors are.

First, there’s the Santa Nookuccino, which is described as having “the taste of Christmas magic, wrapped in a cup” that’ll “have you jingling all the way.”

Then, when questioned about what flavor this is on their Instagram, Bagel Nook’s account replied,’ The Grinch.’

I’m not going to think too hard about what that could mean; I guess we just have to try it to find out.

25 Christmas songs performed by NJ artists

If you celebrate Christmas, the next month of your life is likely going to be consumed with shopping for gifts, retrieving a tree, decorating the house, and going out on adventures to see elaborate light displays.

The one thing that you must have at the ready for all of these scenarios is Christmas music.

Since a lot of the songs you hear tend to get repetitive this time of year, why not pay homage to some of the great singers, bands, and musicians that make New Jersey's music history so rich.
