The holiday season is quickly approaching.
I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that the holidays are here! *facepalm* It’s a week early this year, but I know the party doesn’t stop. I’ve already started pulling out decorations, and I’m even planning to have my tree up early. *insert frantic emoji* I know a lot of people like to put up their trees the day after Thanksgiving, and I see why. We only get to enjoy our holiday decor for a short time. The sooner you have it up, the longer you’ll get to enjoy it.

Cranberry and Ginger – make it merry!
With the holiday season in full swing, it can seem a tad bit overwhelming. Shopping, getting holiday menus together, traveling, school or church programs, office parties, entertaining…you name it. Thank goodness for holiday cheer! I don’t know about you, but the holidays just make me happy! My Mom always made sure our holidays were fun and festive, and that tradition was hard not to pass on. Of course, I look forward to spending time with family and friends, my ultimate holiday music playlists, and baking my seasonal favorites — and we all know that anytime there is good food and drinks involved, this girl is happy!
Cranberry Ginger + All the Fizz!
I wanted to create something fun that everyone could enjoy for the holidays! And there’s nothing like “getting fizzy” and celebrating the holiday season with the ones you love. I came up with this Cranberry Ginger Sunset Fizz cocktail (OR mocktail) because I know it’s something both adults and the kiddos can enjoy! It’s made with fresh cranberries, a hint of rosemary, ginger, lime, and all the fizz to give you the holiday feels! And guess what—it’s made with…Sparkling ICE!
