Hot cross buns were sold by London street-sellers to the cry of "Hot cross buns!" - just like in the rhyme, during the 1800s. This method of selling was meant to attract attention, and it worked. Today, hot cross buns are generally sold around Easter to celebrate the religious significance of the resurrection of Christ (hence the cross shape on the top).
