A peek at everything I’ve loved in December 2025!
FOOD
Chocolove peppermint creme trees. Like a peppermint pattie, but better! Elevated, if you will.
American Spoon hot chocolate. This is our go-to hot chocolate that we all love. It tastes so rich and is easy to use.
Ski Queen cheese. I LOVE this cheese and have for over a decade. It is CARAMEL – yes, caramel, so it may take a moment to get used to. But it’s incredible on a cheeseboard. And I was able to find it at Trader Joes!
Joy’s bakery style cookies. They are SO good. That is what is pictured above, but with mini m&ms!
HOME
Biom Frasier Fir wipes. My cousin told me about these and I adore them. They smell like the frasier fir candle! They have other scents too and the packaging is so sleep.
Epicurian cutting board. I got this at my favorite things party and it’s the best cutting board ever. I want to switch to all of these. It can go in the dishwasher too!
Mrs Meyers peppermint hand soap. This is my winter hand soap, always. We all love it!
Wondershop wipeable tablecloths. I get these tablecloths every season and LOVE them. They are festive and cute for the kids activities and wipeable so they last awhile. We always use them for parties and get togethers!
BEAUTY
Colorscience glow SPF 50. This is what I’ve been using as my base – no foundation, no bb cream – just this. It’s so glowy and I love it.
Maya chia brush. This might be the best brush I’ve ever had. It feels incredible on the scalp. It’s also such a nice size.
Dyson style cream. Bought this on a whim to hold my curls and it’s fabulous! Definitely the best style cream I’ve tried this year.
Haus Labs balm stick. The lilac shade is my favorite blush shade right now, along with the bright red. It blends and keeps you dewy.
Fenty gloss stick in The MVP. This has been the red shade I’ve worn all season. It’s like a gloss balm so you can apply without a mirror, but still gives you that red pop. Very moisturizing too.
FASHION
Free people half zip fleece. Been living in this for almost two months. I’ve bought countless as gifts. Love how soft and warm. I want it in every color!
Colette ruffle hem velvet pants. The colette pants are probably my favorite pants of all time. They are so flattering and comfortable. These are SO cute with the ruffle bottom and I’ve worn them multiple times already!
Thermal base layer. This has saved me on walks outside. I love it so much. It’s the first layer I put on and definitely keeps me warm.
Alo cashmere socks. I bought this on a black friday promo. I am not a sock person, I sort of hate them! But these are so soft and incredible. I’ve been wearing them all month with boots!
MEDIA
Good Spirits. I have zero interested in reading anything paranormal, but I love this author so much. Loved this one, it was great!
Heated Rivalry. This is on HBO and I am hooked. The characters and acting are amazing. Watch them on social media for behind the scenes and it’s incredible.
Leslie Odom Simply Christmas. Almost ten years later, I’m still listening to this. LOVE it.
KIDS
Guinness World Records 2026. My kids love going through this, especially Max and Emilia. We get one every year and it’s always a highlight.
Glitter dino ornaments. Jordan took one of these for an ornament exchange at school. It is so cute that I bought more for their trees. They are adorable and my kids love them!
Kids paint by numbers kit. This is one of Emilia’s favorite art things to do. It keeps her entertained for hours and then she hangs them in her room. Very cute!
