Featured Tip:  It’s fun to hang little unexpected surprises from the dining room chandelier. Start with a swag of greenery; then tuck in Christmas whimsies like glass balls; tiny snowmen; cookie cutters and smiling Santas.

Welcoming family & friends inside our warm & cozy kitchens is one of our favorite things about the holidays! We love the aroma of warm gingerbread cookies, the fresh scent of pine and mugs of homemade chocolatey cocoa. There’s such excitement as we count down the days until Christmas arrives...celebrate the holiday season with Christmas with Family & Friends!

Norwegian Pancakes topped with warm cinnamon-peach topping are yummy on a frosty morning, and friends who come to visit will enjoy bites of savory Bacon-Wrapped Chestnuts, steamy bowls of Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup and frosty Santa Claus Cranberry Punch. For Christmas dinner, try Rosemary-Garlic Turkey alongside Cranberry-Pecan Stuffing, Snowy White Mashed Potatoes and slices of Homemade Gingerbread Cake.

Everyone loves family-style casseroles, so Texas-Style Enchiladas and Ellie’s Layered Reuben Bake will be quick favorites you’ll serve again & again. Invite family & friends to come by for a cookie & cocoa get-together then visit, relax and enjoy the sweet treats of Christmastime. So welcome the season with family & friends. Bake cookies, make snow angels and enjoy the magic of the holiday...the time we look forward to all year!
