Spoiler alert! This episode we’re digging into the three Christmas texts we assigned as homework, and there will be spoilers! You’ve been warned!
If you want to read/watch for yourself before listening, the texts are: One Day in December by Josie Silver (2018, Penguin) Falling For Christmas (2022, Netflix) Window Wonderland (2013, Prime)
Christmas cocktail Cheers with a Candy Cane Christmas cocktail. Love how this recipe does not include quantities, it’s a really choose-your-own-adventure, but you’ll need: Vodka Cranberry juice Grenadine Peppermint schnapps Splash of lemonade Ice cubes Crushed candy canes for rim and/or mini peppermint candy cane for garnish
