One last week of holiday cheer before the the countdown to the New Year begins! Here are three more stylish delights to get you through the week: Christmas Cocoa, Christmas Spirits and A Table Gift.

Found here.

Polar Express Hot Chocolate Recipe from Honey & Fitz:

–1.5 cups of heavy cream

–1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

–2 cups of bittersweet chocolate chips

–6 cups of milk

–1 tsp vanilla extract

In a large pot over low heat, combine all of the above ingredients. Stir regularly for 30-40 minutes until chocolate is fully melted and incorporated with other ingredients.

Cranberry Mojitos

Found here.

Cranberry Mojitos Recipe from We Are Not Martha:

8 oz. fresh cranberries
1 C sugar
1 C water
20 mint leaves
2 T lime juice
Ice
4 oz. rum
4-6 oz. soda water

Just put cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Then lower the heat a bit to medium-low and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, before your berries start bursting. Remove from heat.

Once the berry mixture has cooled, you can strain them.

Put about 10 leaves of mint and a T of lime juice in each glass. With the back of a wooden spoon or a muddler mash the mint up.

Now put ice in each glass and pour 2 oz. of the cranberry syrup and 2 oz. rum into each glass.

Top off each glass with soda water. And sprinkle some fresh cranberries in for garnish.

3. Jingle Bells and Candles

Found here.

From LemonadeMakinMama: Grab one of your trays, arrange candles down the middle, and fill the tray with jingle bells. (You could also fill the tray with greenery from outside, even fruit or holiday candy.)
