Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa is on the way. We have so many different family traditions to usher in the Christmas season. The living nativity is one of my favorites. Taking in the lights in neighborhoods or at the zoo is always fun. Each year we buy our kids a new ornament that represents a milestone or activity from the year. These hang on a tree bought from our annual trip to the tree farm. Making cookies and fun Christmas food together is another family experience that makes the holiday season special. I love having my kids baking in the kitchen with me, and these reindeer ice cream sandwiches were a treat we were able to make together this year using Horizon Organic ingredients. You may also be inspired by our Santa, Rudolf and Frosty Nutter Butters or these reindeer truffles.

I’m teaming up with Horizon Organics to communicate an important and simple message: Be intentional about creating family togetherness this holiday season. Creating intimate and simple family traditions together helps build strong families. We want you to be a part of that. I’d love it if part of your family traditions included being in the kitchen together.
