Dulce de frutas Explanation: An idea :) As far as I know there is no "official" translation for this, so this is just that, "an idea".

dulces / gomitas de azúcar Explanation: Si mal no recuerdo de una caricatura que veía de niña durante la época navideña (hace muchos, muchos años), los sugar plums son lo que acá en México se conoce como gomitas de azúcar, que son dulces de gelatina de colores recubiertos de azúcar. |

Caramelos / confites Explanation: Sugar plums are popular in Christmas. Normally I would try to explain that "sugar plums" are "dulces de frutas secas" or "frutas secas azucaradas" but I'm afraid that wouldn't evoke Christmas to most Spanish speakers. I don't think the target readers need to know exactly what sort of sweets sugar plums are, to be honest. The purpose is apparently to transmit a Christmasy feeling so "caramelos" sounds good. Your text has got a certain musicality which would probably be broken if you use a longer explanation. |
