This is insanity. I cannot believe it!

Today I’m sharing alllll the snacks and cocktails that you need for the rest of the holiday season. And they are my absolute faves!

So first! A little bit of cocktail news. After yearssss of sharing a cocktail every single Thursday, my brain is officially fried from ideas. I mean, I still have a lot of ideas that sound great, but not enough to share one every single week. You know? At least not at the moment!

In 2019 I won’t be sharing a weekly cocktail, but I will still share the occasional fun and seasonal drink if I have a delish one to share. Otherwise, you can rest easy knowing that I have over 120 cocktails here for every reason and every season! No need to worry.

Now let’s chat NYE parties, okay? Mine will consist of my family at my house. On the couch with blankets and cuddled up. I CAN’T WAIT. But if you have bigger plans, here are some fantastic ideas!
