Homemade White Peppermint Mocha

A homemade take on a coffee shop classic. It’s a Christmas morning tradition in our home. While the little ones are excited to open presents from Santa and rip through gifts one at a time, the adults choose to wake up with this festive cup. Finished with a candy cane and sprinkles, it’s truly Christmas in a cup.

Holiday Spice Cold Brew

This is a NorCal favorite. Some years when I’ve traveled for Christmas, I’ve left Redding with weather in the 60s. As a girl who was raised in Kentucky, it’s sometimes hard to get in the Christmas spirit without the cold. Last Christmas season, I discovered a winter cheer cold brew in the refrigerator section of Target. It was exactly what I needed to get in the holiday mood. A few days later, I decided to recreate a version at home. It’s been a seasonal favorite and a great edible gift to give to all the coffee lovers in your life.
