Hello Friends, how's your Christmas baking coming along?!

Minnesota got a blanket of snow Friday night with our first official winter storm. At our house, that meant a fluffy 8" of the white stuff - and it instantly boosted my Christmas baking mood!

I'm sharing a few of our Christmas sweet treat favorites. Plus a little holiday cocktails feature. Enjoy!

Wishing you peace and joy and many delicious things to eat and drink this Christmas season,
Brenda
