Let’s get one thing straight: food isn’t just food. It’s molecular magic. It’s memory. It’s mood. It’s the thing that can hit you with nostalgia or make a Tuesday taste like a fever dream in the best way. And now more than ever, it’s strategy. Because in this era of clean labels, ingredient transparency, and…
If you work in food and beverage, there’s an unspoken rule: your holiday party better deliver. That’s why you need the SIGMA holiday mindset: big impact, minimal stress, and just enough edge to leave everyone wondering how you pulled it off.
2024’s flavor trends are clear: holiday flavors need a remix. From global mashups to overhauled classics, this is your call to action, food and beverage innovators. It’s time to push past the safe and surge to the top of consumers’ holiday must-haves.
From Coca-Cola Oreos to Thanksgiving Dinner Candy Corn, the mashup frenzy is taking over, making the case for why weird-but-wonderful collabs are the next cultural moment.

Here’s the thing: in the food and beverage industry, nimbleness wins. If your supplier isn’t quick, creative, and hands-on, they’re slowing you down—and that’s no way to stay competitive.
This wasn’t your typical “let’s talk about flavors” series. This was a full-on flavor bender that took us from the zesty zing of Calamansi to the tangy kick of Tamarind with a mouthful of flavorful surprises along the way.
Tamarind is like that friend who’s always up for anything—a little sweet, a little sour, and a whole lot of fun. Imagine sucking on a lemon drop that’s been dunked in caramel, then washed down with a shot of something that burns just a little. That’s tamarind, a flavor that hits every note on the taste spectrum and then some.
Dive deep into the savory world of mushrooms. They’re not just a fad; they’re the culinary power-ups that are transforming menus and sparking creativity everywhere. From their incredible health benefits to their rich umami flavors, mushrooms are the ingredient you need to captivate your customers.
