Williams Sonoma celebrates second annual National Peppermint Bark Day
National Peppermint Bark Day is December 1
Why this year's baking season will be 'very expensive'
FOX Business correspondent Madison Alworth reports on bakeries raising prices as costs of supplies and ingredients increase on 'Varney & Co.'
The holiday season brings cold weather, holiday parties — peppermint-flavored everything.
Williams Sonoma’s peppermint bark is one of the items Americans tend to rave about from year to year.
The tin box filled with peppermint-flavored bark has grown in popularity, allowing the brand to celebrate big on December 1, otherwise known as National Peppermint Bark Day.
