And how do you take your coffee?

'Tis the Season...and fah-la-la-la-la!! While the weather might not be cold enough to totally indulge in all of Old Man Winter's delights, (ie: playing in the snow, scarves, hats and boots...) if you're like me, you can't have enough coffee during the winter..even if the temps aren't frigid.

There's nothing better to me than a yummy cup of coffee to start a chilly morning, to help make Christmas shopping complete, and a Starbucks run mid afternoon before wrapping presents. Coffee=Christmastime complete (for me)!!!

How can you put a spin on this Christmas (and good ole' morning) staple when hosting guests? First, treat them with an array of options that welcome the holiday and Christmas spirit...

My personal favorite is Coffe-Mate....having sampled almost every holiday flavor, I can attest that they are indeed yummy...and totally get you in the Holiday spirit.

What about displaying a "Coffee Bar" for your friends and family as they drop in throughout the season, or as you host guests for special occassions during the chillier months? It's a great way to warm tummies and hearts...and make a memorable stamp as a hostess. And an even more memorable way to win hostess gold stars?! Try displaying your coffee bar like this...

 

 

If you're looking to add a little adult flavoring to your coffee cups this season, try a little Bailey's, Vanilla Flavored Vodka, or even Brandy to your drink to give it an extra spice.

 For a little more adventure, serve up a keg of a yummy "Breakfast inspired Stout" like this one we had the pleasure of sampling recently at Wrecking Bar Brewpub in Atlanta. The Jemmy Dean Breakfast Stout has a yummy and distinctive java flavor sure to leave a memorable mark in your favor with all holiday party guests!

 

However you take (and serve) your coffee, do it with flair...and frequency :)

 

Celebrating daily,
