need help wiith a jingle
i work in a bakery and we have this new donut that we are making for the holidays. my boss wants me to come up with a catchy jingle to sell it. it is a custard filled donut with sweet eggnog filling, covered in white chocolate and sprinkled with green and red sugar. my mood is so humbug i can't seem to come up with anything cheery. any help would be appreciated so i don't look like a dumbo for telling him i know how to write.this is what I have so far, as you can tell, it sucks.
it's christmas time, time for a tweet, so open your mouth, shut up and eat.

Well, I'm not quite sure that telling the customer to "shut up" would be a good idea for a jingle. . .

Haha! I like that one, swissroll! Hmm...I hate eggnog, so I'm not sure I'd be able to come up with anything that would make customers want to buy it.  I'll think about it for you, though!

Use alcoholic eggnog and you could you sing:
Deck the halls and pass the donuts,
screw the kids, this one's for grown-ups.
