Since Farmer's Wife has decided to take a little break as she prepares for a country Christmas (at least, I assume that's what she is doing!), I thought it would be fun to join a blog hop and offer a little Christmas cheer of my own, a charm pack of "Jovial" by Basic Grey.
So if you are feeling jovial, let me know what your favorite holiday treat is. A special cookie made with an old family recipe? Fudge? Hot spiced cider? Do tell. The Random Number Generator elf will choose a winner on December 16 so you have plenty of time to
And don't forget to join the hop for a chance at some other festive treats.
ETA: Thanks for playing, everyone! Comments are now closed.
My fave holiday treat is a glass of bucks fizz (champagne and orange juice) on Christmas morning with my breakfast, it's a little tradition hubbie and I have!
ReplyDeleteTo me, the holidays mean family and friends- lot's a of parties and laughter in the upcoming weeks!
ReplyDeleteMy mothers cookies and light fruit cake :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is Ribbon candy or toy candy. It is locally made here in Nova Scotia and it SCREAMS Christmas. In fact, we have to get some for my mother every year!
ReplyDeleteThis is the website incase you want a visual as to what I am talking about....

We have several treats at Christmas time - toffee bars as a sweet, breakfast casserole on Christmas morning, and we all all my daughter-in-law from Hong Kong make potstickers.

ReplyDeleteI live in the south and my favorite treat is Pecan Pralines. They make a nice stocking stuffer.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas treat is a cookie that my grandma made. It is still a favorite among my mother and all my siblings and our families. I have the inherited recipe...hehe.
ReplyDeleteI will be indulging in some Egg Nog...Love my Mom's homemade...
ReplyDeleteMom's Sugar Cookies! They're a pain to make and a pain to frost but oh so good.
ReplyDeleteit's not a sweet treat, but my grandmother-in-love's pierogi are the treat my whole family looks forward to on Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do is have a big Christmas breakfast qith my family and friends who don't have loved ones in town. It is the best morning ever!
ReplyDeleteGerman peppernut cookies. thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteIt's the one time of year that I make fudge - yummmmmm! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTwo things I do every Christmas without fail are making fresh homemade pasta & shortbread. Love the shortbread so much, but I only make it at Christmas...
ReplyDeleteCoffee cake on Christmas morning :)
ReplyDeleteAs a child I remember making/stealing different candies and other goodies with my mom. I have certain things I have to make each year, even if it is just for my family and I have to put it in the freezer for the next 6 months until it is gone. Christmas to me is truly celebrating the birth of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteSince marrying into a long line of Swedes, I have grown to love the homemade potato sausage every Christmas. My favorite cookie is Raspberry Shortbread Dreams. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLeslie J.
Jovial...I don't even know what it looks like, but I love everything basic Grey, so I'm sure I'd love this too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is my mom's homemade toffee. I don't even know how to make it and I have it maybe every 5 years if I'm lucky, since I rarely see my mom on Christmas. the last time I had some I asked her for the recipe and she said, "Oh you don't want to make it. It's very hard and it took me 3 batches before I got this one right this time." So I said forget it! But it's so yummy; toffee on the bottom, dark chocolate spread over the top, and ground almonds (I think) sprinkled over the top. I may have to call her and get the recipe anyway. If you want it, let me know!
Each year I have certain recipes that have been passed down through the years and must be made - my grandmother's date cookies and my great aunt's toffee are the best!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love my mom's homemade sugar cookies!
ReplyDeleteGrandma's chocolate candy cookies! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, so many special treats at this time of year! Egg nog, fruitcake, peppermint bark, gingerbread cookies! I make an American version of Plum Pudding; it's a gingerbread cake with cranberries, served with a yummy sauce made of butter, cream, sugar, and vanilla! Scrumptious, and I'm sworn to secrecy about the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI lke the Peppermint Bark. And I LOVE wrapping gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday recipe would have to be peanut butter marshmellow fudge. Sadly, I never make it anymore because the calorie content is outrageous, but it's a happy remembrance of Christmas to our adult children. Thanks for the chance to win your generous giveaway. Love me some fabric!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas treat would have to be our Boxing Day dinner - cold turkey, chips and pickles...yummy! It's my favourite meal of the year!

ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I have none and definitely need Christmas fabric!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite treat is mulled wine, yummy! :) Although I could be tempted by Sarah's bucks fizz!
Haha, if I had a secret recipe, I would give it to you! Fave treat is anything pumpkin, chocolate, or cheesecake flavored!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is buttermilk cookies. They're a little cakier than your average cookie, they come with icing, and nobody who tries them can just have one. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is english toffee-it's also the favorite of everyone I make it for.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite holiday treat is my homemade cranberry bread. My recipe calls for mayonnaise & boy is it moist! Love it. Oh, and my fudge too.

ReplyDeleteA favorite treat is Bacon Buns!! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteEggnog is a special treat at Christmas. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteMy 4 sons and husband would say Apricot Kolache, hands down, but they are a pain to make so I cheat by making a double batch of Peanut Blossoms, which are their second favorite. I used to make 12-15 different cookies but now things have changed and everyone is always on a diet!
ReplyDeletePeppernuts, the crispy ones with anise and other spices dunked in a little coffee or milk!
ReplyDeleteChristmas treat? My hands-down favourite is my mum's Chocolate Hazelnut Cherry Rum Truffles, which are cute, addictive, and so so delicious!
ReplyDelete(They're also really rather complicated to make, which is why they're only a Christmas treat.)
Peppernuts - which aren't really nuts at all. My grandmother used to make them. They are really hard little cookie/biscuits - very hard to explain, but about the size of butter mints, if that makes sense. I may just have to try my hand at making them and post the recipe on my blog... eventually.
ReplyDeleteI really love homemade shortbread, my Mum makes some for Christmas every year. I also LOVE plum pudding & can always find room for seconds, my family jokes that as a non-drinker, it's the alcohol hit that does it for me. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love my Mom's Oatmeal Shortbread cookies-yummy.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid we used to make peanut brittle. Haven't done it in years, but every time I see any, I think of Christmas.

But we went dairy free this year and I still haven't mastered a yummy oatmeal yet....although I did make a TREMENDOUS Orange chocolate chunck cake with chocolate ganache icing that was dairy free today...I think I have a new favorite!

ReplyDeleteOne secret recipe coming up: Snicker Salad, aka Superior Candy Apple Salad (1/2 the apples, twice the Snickers of the original)
ReplyDelete12 reg sized Snickers candy bars, chopped
3-4 tart apples such as Granny Smith,
peeled, cored chopped
1 block of cream cheese, softened
1 jar marshmallow creme - I use the bigger jar, but have used the smaller one when I couldn't find a big one
1 large container Cool Whip, thawed. Again in a pinch you can use the smaller container.
Beat together cream cheese, marshmallow cream, and cool whip. Pour over apples and snickers and fold in, mixing till all covered and smooth. You can add maraschino cherries if you want.
Don't make too far ahead of time if serving guests. The candy bars will gradually melt into the dressing. It's every bit as good that way, but not as pretty. This stuff NEVER gets thrown away -- it's eaten to the last spoonful.
Try it, you'll like it! :^)
My favorite holiday treat is my sisters snickers cheesecake!
