Colocasia is a genus[3][4] of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Some species are widely cultivated and naturalized in other tropical and subtropical regions.[1][5] The species C. esculenta (taro) is invasive in wetlands along the Gulf Coast of the United States, where it threatens to displace native wetland plants.[6]

They are herbaceous perennial plants with a large corm on or just below the ground surface. The leaves are large to very large, 20โ150 cm (7.9โ59.1 in) long, with a sagittate shape. The elephant's-ear plant gets its name from the leaves, which are shaped like a large ear or shield.

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies are less iconic than the Christmas Tree Cakes, but they're quietly adored by fans who like fudge more than fluff. Introduced in 1999, these festive firs feature Little Debbie's year-round Cosmic Brownie formula at the base. The tree cutouts are then dressed up with a chunky layer of bright green frosting and a multicolored sprinkle of candy-coated chocolate chip ornaments. Appearance-wise, we can all agree they're homespun and absolutely adorable. And there's real appeal in the texture. Overall, these brownies are soft, dense, and wonderfully chewy. And yet ... something's changed.
I remember really enjoying these brownies in my younger years, but this time the green icing hit me with a Play-Doh-like quality that was nostalgic in an inedible sort of way. The online reviews for Little Debbie Christmas Tree Brownies are generally positive, but you'll also find comments about the "artificial," chemical," or "kinda fake" flavor. Others lament that the brownies are yet another example of snack-product shrinkflation. "The Christmas Tree Brownies this year look like they have fewer growth rings," said one Redditor. "They're both skinnier and smaller." While we can usually count on Little Debbie for consistency, it seems these "Littler Debbie" Christmas Tree Brownies are not what they used to be.
Little Debbie brings a morning treat to the holiday table with these striped and sprinkled mini donuts. Introduced in 2024 and inspired by the brand's cult-classic Christmas Tree Cakes, I went into tasting them with all good will. I ended up with mixed feelings and a waxy film on the roof of my mouth.
On the one hand, these yellow cake rings are perfectly portioned and sized for dunking into coffee, milk, or hot cocoa. The airy texture is a bit dry, but the white frosting does a good job of covering for it. On the other hand, it was streaked and stained with red icing. Unlike most other Little Debbie snacks, the Mini Christmas Tree Cake Donuts are not individually wrapped. So, the decorations come out of the bag somewhat smeared and melty. Maybe refrigeration would help?
You should expect fun when serving these mini donuts to your mischievous little elves, but don't expect them to look or taste as tree-mendous as their creme-filled namesakes. The imperfect leftovers from my bag are getting blended into a festive shake with peppermint-flavored milk.
