Grandma made EVERYTHING yummy at Christmas... Chocolate fudge, divinity, every type of cookie and pie you can imagine, coconut cake, delicious cranberry salads and jello molds... plus, her noodles and dressing were LEGENDARY! MISS HER SO MUCH! 🥺🥺🥺 Way more than just her cooking and baking... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hasta CIELO Y Mas Struggling with these same feeling this year! So blessed to have had all the wonderful memories though! Merry Christmas 🎄❤️
Awww, been there and done that on burning the chocolate! Girlfriend, get yourself some Almond bark! Walmart sells it and it melts perfectly in the microwave! You can even reheat it when it starts to harden. Once I discovered it, it’s all I use now. Much love xoxo
I agree or if you put food wax and melt it with thee chocolate that works too
Those all look amazing! My favorite is Buckeye balls, or as I call them Chocolate covered peanut butter balls. They’re fantastic!
You were still having fun. Tip: add some coconut oil to your chocolate .It will add shine and and thin out the chocolate for dipping. Melt chocolate on very low and keep over water (off flame) to dip.Love them all. I'll try chips
I have to have sausage balls at Christmas. I don’t eat them any other time.
They’re definitely a family favorite.
Yes!! My Uncle Mark makes them for us every Christmas and it is so special because it’s the only time he’ll make them every year ❤️🎄
One of our family favorites around Christmas was my Nana’s Biscochito cookies. They are basically a crisp sugar cookie flavored with cinnamon and anise seeds then dusted in cinnamon sugar. They are a family fave and a traditional New Mexico cookie. They always remind of my Nana and her holiday baking traditions. She made tons of goodies but she was famous for these.
My mother is such a GREAT cook. She always makes caramel popcorn at Christmas for us all while we are making our candy. Everything she cooks is Delish! Right down to her beans and cornbread. Moms are the best.
Instead of chocolate chips, you should use almond bark. It’s specifically for coating things. It works so much better!
My mother always made Mushroom croissants and the perfect Brisket. Thank you for sharing your time, recipes, Traditions, and your home-life. Your smiles and laughs, (B too) are contagious!! You are beautiful inside and out. Happy Holidays.

I miss my grandmas sweet potatoes with marshmallows ontop
I love that you show that you’re only human like the rest of us and things don’t always turn out perfect!! However, your final products looked amazing!! I totally wanna try the pecans😋😘
One package of white almond bark plus 1 ounce bakers semi sweet chocolate squares (4 1/4 sections) melt in microwave. Stir every minute. Add one bag of semi sweet chocolate chip (12 oz) stir to melt it (don’t heat at this point...warmth from other mix will melt it). Delicious, easy, looks creamy and delicious. Nice bite. Just....yum
Microwave your chocolate and add about I tsp of crisco. Makes it nice and shiny 😊
Everything you made looked great 👍
My Great Grandmas Daisy made “no-bake” chocolate cookies!! Every year so we’ve been keeping up that tradition!!
Tradition in my Polish family is making Kolaczki’s with different fruit fillings. Also another tradition is spritz Christmas tree cookies, and candy cane cookies. We bake big time around the holidays. For Christmas dinner we always make a lunch meat platter with potato salad, baked beans, and olives and pickles and cheese cubes.
This is video made me miss Christmas! I absolutely love the entire month of December
One of the sweets I enjoy at Christmas is Ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle than dipped in chocolate. Loved this and the festive music!
I love all the treats you make. My mom always made banana bread, chocolate chip cookies and Russian tea cakes at Christmas time.
That Sounds great! Yummmmmy!
My mother was an amazing baker she loved to bake and the recipes were endless she made divinity, date nut balls, Christmas cookies of all kinds, coconut cake, chocolate almond bark with pretzels, nuts, marshmallows and sometimes m&m’s. She made everything I miss her cooking so much especially this time of year.
My grandma always made sausage balls, peanut butter balls, cheese balls, and pennies from heaven. Miss her so much. I will be making a few things this year. Almond bark is the go to for covering or dipping anything in chocolate.
I’m so happy that you just stopped and realized that all doesn’t have to be perfect! Lots of women don’t even attempt what you do. So just keep trying. It’s how you learn. Read as much as you can or watch Others TH-cam videos. That’s how I have learned so much. There are so many things I have had to learn that most men do around a home bc my husband died three years ago. He was my Bunkey! He was my first and only love and I miss him terribly. We have three grown sons who are married now with children. So live and love all you can! God bless
We always make homemade chex mix, butterscotch haystacks, ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle and dipped in chocolate almond bark, and we always have a cheese ball!
Sarah Simons haystacks are amazing!!
Ooooh Christmas treats. My Grandma always made cookies and candies every Christmas - my fave being those peanut butter cookies with the Hershey kiss on top, coconut cornflake cookies, buckeyes, and cow pies (buckeyes are peanut butter balls covered in chocolate and cow pies are raisins and slivered almonds covered in chocolate) my Grandma passed away 2 years ago so Christmas is hard because her bday is the 23rd and we always had Christmas Eve at her house and obviously we can’t do that anymore. Every year we got a pajama set and ornament from her, and $50 bucks from her dog haha. She said he can’t shop cause he’s a dog so he gives us money. I never dared ask how he got to the bank hahaha. I have a very small family with just my mom, sister (and her in-laws) 1 uncle, and 1 cousin who has 1 kid but they live in Vegas which is about 4 hours from me (Long Beach CA). We try to keep our traditions alive but it’s harder each year. I will never forget about Christmas with my Gma (we called her g-ma)
Oh I miss my mom's Christmas baking. She worked a full time job,vshe would out dinner on the table, sister and I did the dishes, then away she went, baking till after midnight baking. I don't know how she did it. My favorite cookie she made was called seven layer cookies. Yummmm miss her dearly. 🙏❤️🌹💔
Loving your videos 😍😍 sounds weird but we always have deviled eggs on every holiday and I look forward to those every holiday lol
My granny used to make fudge. Only once was I able to recreate it the way she made it.
Loved the vlog all the treats look delicious! !your such a joy to watch!
Hi Jessica! You should get yourself a small dip size crockpot to melt your chocolates in for dipping treats. You won't have to worry about chocolate scorching and it stays warm while dipping, remember to use the low setting.
If you've never tried mixing your hot cocoa mix with milk, I highly recommend! So good!
Emilee Carreker exactly my thoughts. My kids won’t drink it using water. Only milk 🥛 👍
We have never used water lol..mom always made ours homemade anyways..no packet.taste so much better..
I was about to comment that! It's a must to make it with milk! I can never go back to having it with water!
I definitely agree with you on the spiral sliced ham. My favorite sweet treat for Christmas is Wedding Date Balls. (I wish these had a different name, too! 😆) Oh my goodness! They are heavenly!
My grandma used to make pumpkin chiffon pie, and I miss it so much. Fortunately, she's still alive at 99 years of age, but she is no longer to make the pie. I love her! Thanks for this video.
Loved your arrangement of cookies & treats!!! Love candied pecans toooo!!!
Those chocolate covered chips look like they could be my new favorite thing! Need to make everything from this video ASAP 🤤
My sister makes those Oreo things every year! So yummy!
And we ❤️ candied pecans!!!!
Thank you for sharing!! 🌲❤️🌲
Relaxing!! Love!! ♥️🎄⛄️🎄♥️
Hey Jessica! I just wanted to say I have been loving your channel! Your doing awesome and so fun to watch! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much sweet friend!! That means the world to me! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Everything looked great! We have to have meatballs (bbq sauce, 1/2 bag onion soup mix, crushed pineapple, grape jelly). I put them in crockpot and never have to worry about any left! There served as part of appetizers. Few things we have are special eggs, cinnamon rolls, peppermint ice cream pie, ginger snaps, oatmeal cranberry cookies... whew I’m so hungry now 😋
Those meatballs sound amazing...whats the quantities of each of the ingredients?
Everything looks so good especially the pecans yum 😋
I loved this video!!!! Girlllll chocolate covered chips are like the bommbbbbb!!!!!
Fudge using marshmallow cream was what my grandmother made for the holidays :)
That sounds so good!
My mom always got up early on Christmas Eve and made Cinnamon rolls for our neighbors. Great memories
O ya making the Oreos and pecans gosh looks soooooo yum girl...and I'm soo happy for you ,...🤗🤗🤗🤗😋😋
Everything in your house is so darn cute! The teapot on the stove, your mug, all your decor, even your measuring spoons and mixing bowls. All these treats look so tasty. You've inspired me to attempt some of them. I'm usually the one in my family who is bursting with Christmas spirit but some things have happened this year and it doesn't even feel like Christmas to me yet. Hopefully making these treats with some cocoa and Christmas music will help! Thanks for always being such an upbeat inspiration!
You are the sweetest! I totally think this will get you in the Christmas spirit! I know this time of year can be hard, but just remember to take time for you and your family and enjoy it!!
Mmhmm. Everything looks so delicious. We always made puppy chow. My favorite.
Everything looks sooooo good. We had butterscotch chips we melted turn dry and clumpy. I was ready to throw them away and start over. My friend added a little vegetable oil and it was as good as new. Merry Christmas!
Hi Jessica you're question made me happy and sad. My grandma used to bake to alot of different cookies, it was best memories ever
Cutest. Video. Ever. Thanks for always being real! Plus I love how you plate everything!
Coming from a portuguese family, my mother always made portuguese sweet bread. I just love it, and I make it as well!
Made the candied pecans today and I can not stop eating them. So good! Thank you so much for sharing. :)
All these looked really good!!!
Next time add some oil to the chocolate! Start with a tsp. It can help make the chocolate more runny for coating and dipping and it can help prevent it from burning. ☺️
Love the Oreo truffles!!! Those are so yummy year round!
it looked like a magazine spread! you did good kiddo! chocolate can be tricky! I am going to be doing popcorn balls to give away I believe. I think that tomorrow is the day, because I go back to work on tuesday so I won't get the chance to do otherwise! thanks for the inspiration and happy baking! thanks for sharing! loved the video!
We love Butterball cookies!!!😋
My mom always made fudge, it was so good! Now I make it for my family. ❤️
Jessica, Every Christmas I enjoy my aunt's Jello. She puts nuts,oranges,apples and grapes. She also makes a coconut cake and puts green and red sprinkles on top. This together is delicious.
❤️🥥🍰
Love the treats you shared with us! YUM YUM! I’m gonna try the pecans for sure! I appreciate most of all the fact that you share your imperfections with us and remind us that imperfect is OKAY! As women, I think we sometimes forget that! Your honesty is one of the things I admire most about you! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🎄🙏
My mom and grandma always made cookies, lots of different kinds, but gingerbread was always a must.I just finished baking 5 different kinds of christmas cookies for my goodie trays that i hand out to family and friends each year. I have an electric kettle too, and love it! try reconstituting "burnt" chocolate by adding a teaspoon or so of shortening. I have not necessarily burned chocolate but over melted it so it seized up before. You can also try melting most chocolate by microwaving it on half the heat and at 30 second intervals. All the treats looked super yummy!!!
Chocolate Chip cookies, angel food cake, noodles and bread. Thank you for sharing!
This is our first Christmas without my sweet Grammie ❤️ we always made fudge, homemade sugar cookies, and divinity. I’m going to attempt the fudge and cookies 😓 wish me luck!!
Martha Washington chocolates is my favorite Christmas candy, my Mom passed away 35 years ago, (I was 20 ) I think of her every time I make them.
💕💖
My favorite is the pecans!!! Love them!
Everything looks AMAZING!!! I always look forward to eating Filipino egg roll called lumpia’s!!! So yummy with sweet chili dipping sauce😋
Yummm! I WILL make those pecans! ♥️ thanks for sharing!
Everything looks so good! I’m gonna have to try your pecan recipe out.
My mom always makes homemade sugar cookies in assorted Christmas shapes and then we decorate them as a family. Since I’ve had my daughter, we continue the tradition at her house every year. She makes a ton of yummy, fattening things you probably should only indulge in once a year! Oreo truffles are a favorite of mine to make. An easy way to dip them in chocolate is with a fork. The excess chocolate drips between the tines of the fork & you can use a toothpick to slide the truffle off the fork. Easy and hands stay clean!
I couldn't help think of the biscuit dough on the counter when you dumped the Oreo dough on your silpat. hahaha. Oreo truffles are so good
My diet says i shouldnt watch this but my heart loves your channel so i will 😂❤🥰
Everything look so delicious. The oreo bite looks so Good
We always have sausage balls!! I love them so much!
Fudge - just the fantasy fudge - I bake year round but fudge is a holiday thing my dad started
Deli ham, cream cheese and
sweet pickle rolled up and cut! We beg for them year round my dad only does them for Christmas Eve. And Grammies turtle cookies.
Hi Jessica,
That water boiler machine is a must have. I will definitely look into getting one of those!! 👍🏽👍🏽 There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a breather. I've never done the double-boiler thing--for fear of messing up. Lol! Lord knows I've messed up on several occasions but once you pull away for a little while & go back, you just know it's going to be alright! 😊 Thanks for not editing that part of the film--it simply shows that we're only human--no such thing as 100% perfection. Also, the Oreo balls look yummy. I'll have to give that a try. 2 things that are a must around this time of the year--RED VELVET CAKE WITH WALNUTS ON TOP & FRUIT CAKE!! Thanks for sharing!! ☺️🎄

I like almond bark cookies, pecan pretzels, and homemade peanut butter cups. For holiday desert. For a holiday salad we always have a pink fluff salad, and a smoked hame with a hawiian glazed ham
My Nanny always made a chess pie. I still make it to this day. My whole family loves it.
We have to make sausage cheese balls every year my granma always had them an now I make them with my grown daughters every holiday
Very curious to what they are? Recipe?
My mil made chocolate balls, my husbands favorite and now my sons. Graham crackers, cocoa powder, sweet and condenced milk, vanilla and roll them in coconut bits. Love your recipes. Started watching all your videos. I want to try so many recipes. Thank you.
Fantasy Fudge and buttermilk pie! Mmmmm it's a must!
Everything looked so good! 🤤 My family and I have always made all sorts of sweets I especially look forward to having our Buckeyes we make!!! 🍪🍰🥧
Love the recipes AND your nails!!! Love the color combo
All looks good !! Will have to do the chocolate covered chips 😋
I asked for a double boiler for Christmas two years ago, no more burnt chocolate.
Love your recipes❤️🌲
Yummm 😋 thank you for all the great treat ideas 😊❤
YUMMY! Can’t wait to try some of these 😊
Sour cream sugar cookies -- we get together every year as a family and decorate them. Mom makes the cookies, my older brother and I make the frosting, and the whole lot of us bust out the sprinkles and creativity. Dad usually decorates one and eats it, then disappears to watch TV. 🤣 And Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same without chicken wings and shrimp cocktail for my dad's birthday. ❤️
It all looks yummy!!
Really wanting to make those chocolate covers chips now perfect blend of salty and sweet😍🤤
Every Christmas Eve, my mom, sister, nephew, and I make Chex mix, puppy chow, sugar cookies, meatballs, & mini hot dogs with BBQ 😍 We snack on that and watch Christmas Vacation in our PJs and have a full meal with ham on Christmas Day 😋
That sounds like such a wonderful time spent with family, and delicious food too! ❤️
P.S. We LOVE Christmas Vacation 🎄❤️🥰
Great ideas. Yes you are right things don't always go right. You are absolutely right to take a breather. That's what I do. Everything ended up turning out absolutely perfect. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. I will follow a few of your recipes thank you.
Awesome video. Thank you for keeping it real!!! 😂😂 it was still awesome!!!
Definitely have to make some Oreo balls now. I also have the same Christmas dish rags on my stove! 💚
We always HAVE to make “snowman poop” aka muddy buddies every year
Cut-out Christmas cookies. I do a batch of those now as an adult. I also like making Chex mix.
You definitely succeeded in giving the cozy vibe in this video! I should have made myself a hot cocoa so I could relax and watch you also make hot cocoa LOL. So glad I found you, you’re one my new favorites!
YUMMY! Our kids always want me to make peanut butter balls (think Reese's peanut butter cups), molasses cookies, and poppy seed bread. We all have those days where things just go wrong, I take it as a sign from above that it's time to stop and take a break. :) Your little snowman spoon rest and character spatula are so darn cute too!
My favorite thing this time of year is the Original Chex Party Mix, but, I add something special. I add dried cranberries and the M & M chocolate candies. It’s the best of everything, the sweet, the salty, and tartness of the cranberries and the crunch. I add a cup of both the cranberries and candies after the Chex Mix is completely cooled. Jessica, you love savory, you will love this Chex Mix! Bunkey will too, love you guys!
My favorite treats are rice krispy treats and crispy buckeyes. But every year we tend to make fudge, pumpkin sheet cake, veggie and fruit pizzas are some of my families favs.
Every year we make a pineapple upside down cake and a lasagna always goes with Christmas dinner has been this way my whole life
Bunkey has been saying he wants to make a pineapple upside down cake!
Love your channel and can’t wait to try some of your recipes soon as I get my new stove
I am going to make some snacks for my office and I will definitely be using some of these ideas!! ♥️♥️
Mmm, I could smell your hot cocoa when it steamed up. Then you topped it with marshmallows-perfect! LovefromFL
awesome video girl and everything looks so yummy
my granny used to make peanut butter fudge every
Christmas that was my favorite thing she had made.
Thank you!! That sounds amazing!!
We have a Strawberry Shortcake with boiled custard between the layers. (I know WEIRD!) We freeze the strawberries after picking them in May. We dye the custard green, add red food coloring to the scratch cake batter and top it with fresh whipped cream. Add a candle and sing happy birthday Dear Jesus! FAMILY TRADITIONS are AWESOME!! Stay Blessed and Inspiring! xo
