CHRISTMAS BISCUITS HAVE a special place in the hearts of us Irish people.

Much like putting up the tree, hearing Fairytale Of New York for the first time, or spotting Home Alone in the TV listings, opening up a tin or box of Christmas biscuits is a marker that the festive season has well and truly arrived.

With so many varieties of Christmas biscuit to choose from, there’s a match for everyone out there. So which Christmas biscuit best represents you?

To find out, tell us about your Christmas traditions in the quiz below - and for the chance to win some Christmas treats of your own, be sure to follow Jacob’s Biscuits on Instagram.
