Jaren, these look so perfect! I love so many Christmas movies, but Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and Elf and the top 3 🙂
I’m all over these cookies, Jaren! I love everything you mentioned about this time of year. It’s the little things that make it all so special. And I LOVE The Family Man! I actually watched that movie for the first time last year and just loved it so much. I don’t know why I hadn’t seen it before. My favorite Christmas movies are The Santa Clause (the first one!) and Love Actually!
My kids LOVE The Santa Clause movies! Thanks Ashlyn!
