Happy Friday friends! Do you have any fun, festive holiday plans for the weekend? Jason and I are finally hosting our first annual Christmas Caroling Party and I simply can't wait! In all honesty, I can't hold a note to save my life, oh those poor neighbors of ours. I guess you could say we're just looking forward to having a fun old fashioned family Christmas, Griswold style. One thing's for sure, everyone sings a little sweeter with a warm cup of Spiked Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate in their hands. So with that in mind I'll be making an extra large batch! Wish me luck.

I actually just made my first hot cocoa of the season last night...but I was trying to be all "good" and healthy with almond milk and agave. It was delicious, but I am pretty sure that yours takes the cake 😉 I will be trying this one next time!! XO
