Why Fisherman’s Friend is the ultimate companion during the holiday season

Put me on a boat and call me a fisherman, because I have a new friend this holiday season.

Fisherman’s Friend has been around for over 150 years, creating flavoured lozenges that are the perfect soothing relief for alleviating scratchy throats, refreshing before a speaking engagement, or simply enjoying the invigorating taste of menthol.

Fisherman’s Friend sent me the cutest advent calendar so that I could try some of its fantastic products for myself — and let’s just say I was very impressed.

In high school, when I performed in musicals, my go-to was always the Fisherman’s Friend Cherry lozenges. But I didn’t know just how many flavours the beloved brand actually had until now.

Behind each tab of the advent calendar was a pack of Fisherman’s Friend, classic brand items like a lozenge tin, or a festive item like a Christmas tree ornament, perfect for the holiday season.

It was so fun uncovering each new day, and now I have enough Fisherman’s Friend to rival a drugstore — or at the very least, get me through the holiday season. Because let me tell you, these bad boys are versatile!

Here for the holidays

Fisherman’s Friend is the perfect companion for your holiday journeys. From soothing your sinuses during plane rides to keeping alert on road trips, these lozenges help you stay refreshed and invigorated.

My personal favourites are the Lemon, Citrus, and Orange Spice flavours. Trust that I’ll be enjoying plenty when I drive to my hometown next week.

You can also get creative with them! At holiday gatherings or cozy nights around the fire, choose a flavour for each of your guests to help them feel revitalized and ready to celebrate the season, while keeping spirits high and conversations flowing.

They also make great stocking stuffers (Hint: the Original Extra Strong ones are perfect for Dads).

Fisherman’s Friend is expertly formulated to provide soothing relief through the bold power of menthol. Taking care of yourself goes beyond sick days, which is why Fisherman’s Friend is a great way to enhance your wellness routine all year long.

As good as menthol is for soothing scratchy throats, flavours like Mint and Cherry also give your breath a cool kick. They’re good for a confidence boost at a party, freshening up after lunch, or as support for whatever the day throws your way.

Head down to your local grocery store or pharmacy to pick up your favourite flavours of Fisherman’s Friend for the holiday season, and visit the Fisherman’s Friend website to learn more about their vibrant history in Canada and beyond.
