In A Down Home Christmas, rising country music star Kris Trabeau goes home to Charming, Mississippi, hoping to convince his aunt to sell the family farm. Aunt Tansy’s neighbor Tory Odom and a little girl Tory knows from the community center come over to help make Jingle Bell Cookies from a secret family recipe. Baking leads to impromptu Christmas carol singing, making the shared time even sweeter. Our updated version of Jingle Bell Fruitcake Cookies are a Southern-flavored treat that might just become a tradition in your own family
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . a rest from so many cookies and some wonderfully spicy hot chocolate to wash them all down! We figured there was nothing like a little chipotle to bring out the best in chocolate and wake you up after tasting cookie after cookie after cookie. If this hot chocolate doesn't thicken to your liking, the trick is simply to add a little cornstarch.
