What’s a holiday without a classic eggnog?! Of course I’ll be skipping this, this year (sob) but homemade egg nog is definitely the best.

Italian anise pizzelles are just magical at Christmas. Alone they are amazing but be sure to make extra because they can be filled with nutella and rolled up for breakfast or sandwiched with ice cream. The added anise in this recipe captures the old world Christmas spirit. Scrumptious Anise Pizzelle

This is an heirloom traditional German molasses ginger cookies recipe 

Lebkuchen.

This is my favorite verrrry rich hot cocoa! I made it last year in my copper pan and I can’t wait to do the same this year. Grab this amazing rich French Hot Cocoa recipe.

  1. Love al, of these ideas Deb. I just ordered a pizzelle press. I want to try this recipe with anise and with lemon. My husband loves cookies with his coffee.

  2. I have really enjoyed your site but lately I have noticed so many more advertisements. They are getting in the way of enjoying the photography. I really hate leaving this, I hope it helps.
