One By One, Ruth Ware

The warmth of childhood nostalgia with a kick of grown up peppermint schnapps. 

In A Holidaze, Christina Lauren

My two very favorite flavors of the holiday season come together in this fun Christmas cookie!

The Giver of Stars, Jojo Moyes

These traditional Scandinavian cookies taste like Christmas. Buttery with hints of warm spices, they go perfectly with a hot beverage. I took the liberty of decorating with white piping which I believe is more of a German tradition. 

The Midnight Library, Matt Haig

The secret to this extra minty bark is Peppermint Hershey Kisses and dark chocolate. 

5. Sprinkle Sugar Cookies

The Monsters We Make, Kali White

Christmas sugar cookies are just mandatory. 

In A Holidaze, Christina Lauren

Apple cider and smoked maple bourbon create a warming holiday beverage that smells like maple syrup and tastes like Christmas. 

Born A Crime, Trevor Noah

This recipe is the perfect base for all of your cheese ball needs. Go crazy mixing cheeses and outer coatings! Featured here are: Goat Cheese and Pistachio, Sharp Cheddar and Dill, and Feta with Red Pepper and Pecans. 

8. Cherry Pie Bites (kalaches)

American Royals, Katherine McGee

These Czechoslovakian desserts have been in my family for generations. At my home, it just isn’t Christmas without them. 

Killer Chardonnay, Kate Lansing

Spritzers are great, especially for a light evening when you want to make that bottle last longer. This version is so pretty and festive. 

10. Christmas M&M Bars

These are the easiest Christmas cookies you will make this year!

Blindsighted, Karin Slaughter

Hear me out- Christmas morning family tradition. These sweet sticky buns and coffee are a great way to wake up while the kids play with their toys. 

Evidence of the Affair, Taylor Jenkins Reid

For a light, sparkling take on New Years Eve, countdown with this sweet cocktail.
