      Santa on a fire truck is also pretty Australian. Where I'm from in oz on Xmas Eve the local countryfire authority fire truck drives along every street in town throwing out candy (lollies in Aussie English) to kids. It's also a great way to raise some money during fire season.

    Nick and Debbie, I am a candy lover and wonder this: If Debbie added flavoring to the red "sugar" part of the candy cane, it might be a smash hit! Peppermint (white) and cherry or raspberry (red) comes to mind! Yummy! 🍒
