“Cranberry sauce is the candy corn of Thanksgiving”

Various foods have been called “the candy corn of Thanksgiving.” That is to say, like candy corn, it’s a food mainly eaten on the holiday (as with candy corn and Halloween) and at no other time, and that many people do not like.

Pumpkin pie is the candy corn of Thanksgiving. Kind of a necessity for the holiday, but it’s not very good. Apple Pie with a slab of cool whip. Let’s play.

Is green-bean casserole the “candy corn of Thanksgiving*”? Or a must-have favorite of the holiday menu? (*Thanks to @BrianCBaer for that memorable description).

Canned cranberry sauce, the candy corn of Thanksgiving.
Everyone claims everyone hates it, but it’s readily available everywhere.
Besides PB&C is a great use of the leftovers.

It’s that time of year again, that I must remind you, Pumpkin Pie is the candy corn of Thanksgiving.
It’s an awful fraud.
You must label this atrocity, if not I will call the feds.

People act like Green Bean is the Candy Corn of Thanksgiving
But really it’s the Nickleback/Creed of Thanksgiving
It’s the popular thing to hate on it. But secretly you know it’s a banger
