This Holiday-Themed Fair Food Drive-Thru In Arizona Is Brimming With Festive Treats

State fairs typically end before the holiday season, but anything goes in 2020. For two weekends this month, the Arizona State Fair is offering a holiday-themed drive-thru fair food event. With options like gingerbread funnel cake, candy cane cotton candy, and deep-fried eggnog, it’s as festively delicious as it sounds.

Boasting warm gingerbread spices, these sweet treats will take your taste buds home for the holidays.
Cotton candy is one of the best ways to get a sugar rush – and maybe a few cavities, while you're at it. It's also usually more whimsical than festive, but not here!

At the Ho-Ho Holiday Drive-Thru, the cotton candy will be flavored like a peppermint stick.
To balance out all the sweetness, several savory options will be available.
