I’m always excited for the holidays. The trees, the lights, the decorations, the gingerbread houses. I mean, what’s not to love? We went to the Fairmont Hotel last weekend to see the famous two story high gingerbread house that took hundreds of hours of labor.

The gingerbread house is made of real gingerbread cookies, icing, and candies. It was so impressive and definitely worth the trip. But…. I feel like I see bites missing from the cookies.

In this week’s finds…

These chewy tahini gingersnaps with dark chocolate and sea salt look soo amazing.

This peppermint crunch puppy chow would make the perfect holiday snack.

If you’re in need of a snack idea, this gluten free chex mix would make the perfect one.

How cute is this DIY Christmas wreath made of holiday cookies? So perfect for gifting.

I’m a huge fan of cheesecake, and I love the idea of this mini gingerbread cheesecake.

Okay, so I definitely need this peppermint white chocolate cheesecake in my life ASAP.

I love dumplings of all sorts so I can’t wait to try this vegan momo from Tibet version.

Seriously, is there any more that can be said about this Pandoro Christmas tree cake with nutella and whipped cream?
