December is finally here, and I don’t know who’s more excited—me or the girls! To kickstart the holiday festivities on a sweet note, we invite our closest friends and family for a cookie decorating get-together. I’ve been doing this with the girls for years, but I thought this would the perfect opportunity to spread a little joy and catch up with old friends over coffee and light bites. A trip to Randalls to grab all the toppings, a couple appetizers, and a few boxes of the oh-so-festive Starbucks® Peppermint Mocha Latte K-Cup® Pods always makes shopping so quick and easy.
Here’s a coupon to use on your next visit.
Once home, I set the table and bake a fresh batch of sugar cookies. You guys. The combination of sweet cookies baking in the oven and the smell of freshly brewed Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Latte is absolute heaven! The creamy mocha flavor and splash of peppermint is such a holiday-worthy drink for fun gatherings like this. It’s pretty magical. This time around, I used the single-serving K-Cup® pods for convenience purposes, but I could have easily went with the Peppermint Mocha Flavored ground coffee version as well. Either way, this coffee is always a hit! Paired with a warm sweet treat and great conversation, Starbucks definitely helps me create special memories out of everyday moments.
When it’s time to decorate the treats, make sure to have plenty to go around. Half of them will be eaten before the decorations even begin, but that’s part of the fun! I usually stock up on mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chocolate candies, mini marshmallows, white chocolate, peppermint crumbs, and sprinkles galore, but the possibilities are endless. And of course, don’t forget the icing. Include different colors for guests to choose from.
When it’s time to wrap things up, send each guest home with a goodie bag filled with their homemade cookies, a few extras for the road, and their favorite toppings from the party. With the convenience of these individual pods, I can also drop in a couple K-Cup® pods for the adults to enjoy at home. I hope this holiday season is filled with nothing but love, joy, and wonderful memories. Whether you’re hosting a party or just creating traditions with your family, Starbucks can help turn little moments into big memories. Grab their limited-edition Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Latte K-Cup® pods at your local Randalls today.
