Make a holiday treat for children (leave out the booze, please) and grown-ups. This spiked white hot chocolate by Amy Atlas is perfect for a cold winter day.

We're loving loving loving this gingerbread holiday centerpiece on Snippet & Ink . The entire table is lovely really. Perfect for your family christmas dinner. And the kids can have some gingerbread for dessert!

Make your own last minute gift wrap with this DIY by Eat Sleep Cuddle.

Invite over some friends for a cup of holiday coffee or hot chocolate. Instead of serving cookies with it, try making these pretty little gingerbread houses spotted on Luluto.
