- Red-hot chestnuts (he later describes great, round, pot-bellied baskets of chestnuts, shaped like the waistcoats of jolly old gentlemen, lolling at the doors, and tumbling out into the street in their apoplectic opulence.)
- cherry-cheeked apples (he later speaks of Norfolk Biffins, squab and swarthy, setting off the yellow of the oranges and lemons, and, in the great compactness of their juicy persons, urgently entreating and beseeching to be carried home in paper bags, and eaten after dinner.)
- juicy oranges
- luscious pears (later he notes pears and apples clustered high in blooming pyramids)
- immense twelfth-cakes (also known as twelfth night cake or king cake or three kings cake. It is associated in many countries with Epiphany, the celebration of the Twelfth Night after Christmas. Its form and ingredients are variable, but in most cases a fève or fava bean such as a figurine, often said to represent the Christ Child, is hidden inside. After the cake is cut, whoever gets the fève wins a prize. Modern fèves can be made of other materials, and can represent various objects and people.)
- seething bowls of punch, that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam
- holly
- mistletoe
- ivy
- ruddy, brown-faced, broad-girthed Spanish onions, shining in the fatness of their growth like Spanish Friars, and winking from their shelves in wanton slyness at the girls as they went by, and glanced demurely at the hung-up mistletoe.
(He also mentions three other items - bunches of grapes, made, in the shopkeepers' benevolence, to dangle from conspicuous hooks that people's mouths might water gratis as they passed and piles of filberts [hazelnuts], mossy and brown, recalling, in their fragrance, ancient walks among the woods, and pleasant shufflings ankle deep through withered leaves and gold and silver fish in a bowl)
