Someone mentioned maple syrup and Ocean Spray products, but both are readily available in the UK, not sure about fresh cranberries. I suspect you may not be able to ship fresh fruit to the UK although cranberries probably would stay fresh.

Oreos are available in the UK, but theyâre not quite the same. They taste slightly different and, after doing a side-by-side comparison, they seem to be a whisker smaller. In the UK, chocolate and mint are the only variations on the standard vanilla-creme filling that Iâve encountered.
Scottish sweets donât come much more iconic than the Highland Toffee bar.

In the UK we have milk chocolate, peanut and crispy.
