Celebrating Holiday Traditions | Gingerbread Hot Cocoa Recipe and Printable!

Have you started noticing the sounds and scents of the season? They are popping up everywhere! Every where I look, there's a holiday open house, holiday cooking demonstration, holiday recipe! I could not be more thrilled. I love the holidays and I may have already permanently landed on the Christmas radio station in my car.

Now, my house smells undeniably like Christmas. I cannot wait to add our live tree to the mix, but first, one of my favorite smells that just bring me right back to hanging out in the kitchen with mom, making holiday snacks and sipping hot chocolate with my sisters...Gingerbread! 

As you get prepared for little (and grown-up) guests, gingerbread is such a great way to get everyone in the spirit. From the candles and reed diffusers we have from Thymes, to the soaps in the bathroom, it just adds that special touch to make your guests feel right at home. 

Another great add to any holiday get-together is hot cocoa! We were inspired by Thymes to make our cocoa extra special!
