Then, we might see:

CHERRY SMOKE  X  HOLY NIGHT   =   HOLY SMOKE

SWEETER THAN WINE  X  RASPBERRY FUDGE  =  SWEETER THAN FUDGE

BLENHEIM ROYAL  X  BUSY BEING BLUE  =  BUSY BEING BLENHEIM

And, of course:

BEFORE THE STORM  X  AFTER THE STORM  =  BEFORE THE AFTER

and its sibling, AFTER THE BEFORE

There could be more of this -- and undoubtedly will be -- but I'm
getting out now.
