I’m super excited to try something new on the blog this year, and I really hope you like it. Over the next 12 days I’ll be baking, drinking and assembling treats that you can take to that great Christmas cocktail party, to keep you powered up during your marathon shopping trip, that you can drink with your closest friends (once you can finally find a date that works for all of you!), something to make for a cookie swap and much, much more.

I’m also keen to hear from you what your favourite holiday recipes are, so please share them in the comments below.

You know I love to bake and take lots of time in the kitchen but I also know that sometimes, especially during the busy holiday season, spending time in the kitchen is the last thing you want to do. I’m hoping these recipe ideas will help you rather than making you feel you need to bake or do MORE. Just enjoy! And have a very Merry Christmas.
