Aberlour-on-Spey, Scotland-based Walkers is celebrating its 105-year-old birthday with a variety of products that are perfect for holiday entertaining.

They include: Festive Shapes Shortbread--pure butter shortbread cookies formed as stars, bells, Christmas trees and smiling Santa ($4.99 SRP),

microwaveable Luxury Fruit Mince Tarts--made with dried apples, currants, sultanas and candied citrus peel ($6.99 SRP)--and Cheese Shortbread ($3.99 SRP) that has a distinctive British Cheddar cheese tang. Or one can stock up on Walkers Oatcakes ($3.99 SRP), which were awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment as The Supplier of Oatcakes to the Queen, Cracked Black Pepper Oatcakes ($3.99 SRP), or Walkers light-as-air Meringue Nests and Shells ($6.79 SRP).

All of Walkers products are baked in the secluded village of Aberlour in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, and can be paired very nicely with one's favorite Speyside single-malt Scotch whisky on a cold winter's night.
