Christmas Favorites

Holy crap have I been neglecting my blog lately!

I am going to get back on the horse with a list of christmas-y favorites to get in the festive mood!

Favorite Christmas Song:

White Christmas by The Drifters

I love this song so much, it is the best song to sing along to, and always puts me in a festive mood!

Favorite Christmas Movie:

Mixed Nuts

It's a very off beat comedy with Steve Martin, Madeline Kahn, Rita Wilson and Adam Sandler. It has been a family tradition to watch it (and Christmas Vacation) every year for as long as I can remember. I look forward to watching it every year and laugh every time I do.

Favorite Christmas Drink:

I don't really have a favorite but I do enjoy any kind of hot chocolate during Christmastime, especially peppermint!

I would recommend just using a peppermint hot cocoa mix (Land O Lakes is my favorite) or using a peppermint coffee creamer in a mix to give it the yummy flavor, and adding whipped cream and a candy cane (for extra Chrismas spirit)! YUM.

Favorite Christmas Cookie/Treat:

I'm a sucker for sugar cookies in Christmas shapes! I bought a bunch of cookie cutters in holiday shapes last year at Michael's and they have come in so handy! I love the big ordeal of making and decorating the cookies and I LOVE eating them.

A few years ago I used festive cookie cutters and filled them with homemade fudge. They made excellent gifts!

Fudge Recipe to Try

I made the fudge and them poured it into the cookie cutters and let it harden. You could also use m & m's or other candies to decorate the fudge and make it more festive!

A third tasty Christmas treat that I have made in the past few years and has been a huge hit have been Rolo pretzel bites! They are super duper easy to make, with just pretzels, Rolos and pecans!
