Cherishing the Holiday Season

December has flown by and with only a couple more weeks of the holiday season I’m cherishing every moment! I’m finally out of classes and this means trying new holiday recipes, shopping for presents and spending time with those I love!

I’m sharing with y’all some delicious and easy holiday cocktail recipes, holiday cookie recipes, and where to find all the best sales and last minute Christmas gifts.

Holiday Cocktails

I love myself a good Moscow Mule, Moonshine Mule or really any spin on a Mule. Erin from, The Speckled Palate, is sharing a delicious holiday spin on the Mule called the Cranberry Mule. Her delicious Mule calls for Rum and is perfect for any holiday party! Just click over to her page for the recipe!

The next holiday cocktail that I discovered through Pinterest, and have been dying to try, is Meghan’s Christmas Sangria! One usually associates Sangria with the summer, but why not bring a little tropical vibe into the holiday season. On Meghan’s blog, Cake n Knife she shares the yummy recipe for Christmas Sangria that calls for your choice of white wine and of course cranberries! Head to her page for the full recipe!

Christmas Cookies

What are the holidays without some delicious sweet treats? I don’t know about you but I love baking, and especially during the holidays. It’s a special time where friends and family can come together and enjoy baking, decorating, or simply eating these treats. I also consider it a time where calories don’t count!

I’ve tried and am sharing with y’all a few recipes I think are delicious, simple and perfect to bake this holiday season! Simply click on the pictures and it’ll take you to all the wonderful bloggers who’ve perfected these recipes.

Last minute Christmas gifts

I am the queen of last minute Christmas shopping and Amazon Prime is my best friend during this time! If you’re like me and still looking for some great gifts on a budget then you’ve come to the right place. I’ve searched through tons of categories and brought to y’all some of my best last minute Christmas present picks! Simply click on the picture and it’ll direct you over to the product on Amazon!
