    Christmas Recipes

    Below are four recipes you definitely need to try this holiday season! The Christmas margarita is a reader favorite, the chestnut praline syrup is my favorite winter coffee syrup, and the spice blend is great for practically any sweet dish! It's similar to gingerbread but with a lot more spices and no ginger!

    • White margarita in a short glass with a gold rim, garnished with fresh cranberries, and rosemary spring.
