Christmas Treats

Filed Under Blog, Holidays |

Every year at Christmas companies release special items only available during the holiday season. These are a few of my favorites. Snatch these yummy treats up quickly because they are here one day and gone the next, not to return ‘til Noel of next year.

Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint Three in One Shower Gel

Surround yourself with this classic Christmas scent every morning or put it in your bath to rejuvenate in the evening. Peppermint is wonderful as it can both invigorate and relax you. What more could you ask for, a candy cane in a bottle!

Williams Sonoma Peppermint Bark

This is the best peppermint bark hands down. Every Christmas season I rush to Williams Sonoma to stock up on this delicious treat. If you have not tried this particular brand of peppermint bark I urge you to try it. If you have never tried peppermint bark at all, don’t bother with other brands, buy this one. As you take a bite, let the refreshing mint flavor melt with the soft milk chocolate into a seductive treat in your mouth. Hooked are you?

Victoria’s Secret Cranberry Crush Lotion

New this year this is a delightful treat for both your nose and your skin. It’s scent reminds me of warm cranberry bread fresh out of the oven and the hint of tangelo gives it a delightful kick. Sure to make your Christmas morning merry.

Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar

Every year Starbucks brings out it’s holiday treats right around thanksgiving and year after year I scramble for the Cranberry Bliss Bars. The blond brownie with white chocolate chips, cream cheese icing and cranberry fruit pieces sprinkled on top looks like Christmas should look. Pure white with a dash of red, like berries freshly fallen in the snow. My favorite thing about these bars is the way they look on a silver tray at a Christmas party, cheery, bright and sinfully delicious.

Strauss Family Creamery Organic Cream on Top Eggnog

This is the eggnog from the people that make milk with the cream on top. It’s creamy, thick and sinful. If you are going to bother to have eggnog, tossing all caloric concerns to the wind for that one glass, have this one. And don’t forget to sprinkle the fresh nutmeg on top!

Iced Gingerbread Cliff Bar

For the health nut in you this bar is delicious. I was a little skeptical when I first saw a Christmas release Cliff Bar, but this bar is truly good. It has that fresh gingerbread taste that reminds me of making gingerbread houses as a little girl.

Illumination’s Mulled Wine Candle

What are the holidays without mulled wine? This candle is so scrumptious that it will even scent a room if the jar is left open and unlit. Picture it, the Christmas tree, all the presents, the garland and the room filled with the scent of cinnamon and oranges mulling in wine. What could be more inviting to come home to?
