U don't have to post a video for us. Take 2 weeks off and take a break! We love you and Jason. Great recipes and ideas!!! Loved all of them. Merry CHRISTmas!!
Use those days as a well deserved break! Call it a couple of “gifts” from us. You are so sweet and work so hard-we appreciate all you do for us. Merry Christmas! Love you!
I have to say, I almost didn’t click on this video, I’ve watched quite a few Christmas baking day videos in the last few days! But I’m so glad I did! Your recipes are different than the others I’ve watched, some are very intriguing. Thanks!
Can any of these recipes be frozen ahead of time? My husband and I used to watch yours and Jason's utubes. My husband served in the vietnam War and was exposed to agent orange. He ended up with parkinson and had dementia as well. He passed away a little over two years.I pray for you two often. Thank you for your transparency, and thank Jason for his service.
I think this is the BEST collection of recipes in one place I’ve ever seen! I’m going to try every single one. Thank you so much for an excellent video! Merry Christmas to you and Jason.
I heartily agree with the previous post - please use the time to give you a much needed break. We will follow you whenever you do a video (not sure if I'm using the correct term). You bring sunshine to our lives...appreciate you so much. Merry Christmas to you and Jason.
OH GIRL!! WHAT? The way to an ex restaurant managers heart is through her tummy. I am more of a foodie than I am a decorator so although I love everything you do with home decor I am super excited about your food videos. Honestly, this has been my favorite video yet. All the ideas are great for holiday parties and even making something just for a small family. The ingredients are easy to get & fairly inexpensive. Your recipes are easy to follow. The only bummer is that I was not there to be your taste tester. Your recipe for the Chex mix was needed because I just bought a bag of Chex mix at Walmart and it is so bland. I can't wait to add some M&Ms and extra goodies to it to jouge it up. (I don't know how to spell jouge, gooje, guje?) If I don't get back to you I hope you and Jason have one of your best Christ filled holidays ever! 🎁🎄♥️✝️
The Reindeer Munch, (lol), looks like a great gift and snack! Maybe Reindeer Crunch? Haha. And I don’t think you can go wrong with pronouncing Worcestershire Sauce as Woo-stir-shear Sauce. Think of Worcester MA. In New England accent… Woo-stah-shear…
Yes girl!! My biggest pet peeve about cookie plates! I always, always put the different cookies in sandwich bags on a cookie plate. It's not as pretty, but it sure makes a difference. I'm so glad you mentioned this!
Leslie, I want to make it all!!! Thanks for all the super recipes and ideas. You should just do want you want. If you feel like making a quick video do it otherwise just take a vacation from it. We'll be here no matter what!❤
Monkey bread is our Christmas morning favorite then go to my sister house for brunch and she makes orange rolls witch is a family recipe and others normal breakfast food and I bring fruit salad another family recipe ❤. Merry Christmas enjoy the holidays take it off and enjoy your hubby ❤ and your grandson
Oh My Goodness, what a lot of time in the kitchen! I hope you had fun though. Please, take a break with all of your family, Leslie. You deserve time to just relax. We will all be here when you come back after the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year.
I personally think you deserve an amazing little TH-cam vacation!! ❤️ maybe a stress-free vlog to wrap up the year, but you’ve worked SO hard especially these past 2 months! 🎉 you should be proud and now rest! Ps. I can’t wait to taste the buckeyes with the butterfingers! 😍
So funny! And cute you are. Going to do the crackers. Good tip on giving cookies. Leslie, you got me wanting to do more recipes for the Christmas season. I love you being so real, that’s what I love about your channel. Yummy! thanks for your all day in the kitchen recipes. Have a very Merry Christmas to you and Jason.🙏🏻💕🌲✝️
Cupcake liners separate the cookies and maintain the flavors of each. I also line the container with parchment paper, enough to separate cookies by layers.
Honestly Leslie- The talent your body holds is AMAZING! THANKS SO MUCH for these delicious ideas and the soulful joy that came with them. You're such an inspiration, and I am truly praying you and Jason have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas together with your beautiful family! I will think of you with every bite of these recipes my family and I will be eating the coming week-and Christmas morning the sandwiches WILL be our breakfast!! 🥰 I will be ordering some meat with your link also-thank you for sharing that! May God's Grace continue to bless and guide you both! 🙏❤️❤️🙏
You take a vacation and enjoy your family and relax some if that’s possible 😊 You certainly deserve it. Thank you for these recipes. They don’t take a lot of ingredients and are beautiful and as I’m sure very flavorful ❤ I pray you have the merriest of Christmas’s . ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
This video is going in my cooking save folder. What smashing ideas for Christmas or any time of year, really. I haven't made any goodies this year because we still have about 8 cookies left in the freezer from last year - good thing my Mom's shortbread and ginger cookies keep well. I must admit to having given small mixed goodie plates to friends in the past but I doubt that the cookies had time to pick up each others flavours because they usually went to single male friends who probably ate the whole plate full before I was out of the driveway. 🤣🤣 Have a lovely holiday and enjoy the time with Jason and your family - we will be here when you come back.
I heard someone call it Wash Your Sister Sauce!! 🤣🤣🤣 I make a cherry braided candy cane bread like yours. I make my own dough with sour cream in it and put cherry pie filling in the middle and braid it and form the candy cane. Bake and ice and put 3 marishino cherries at 3 intervals and use candied green cherries for leaves. I always get compliments on this--so pretty and so good.
It is so satisfying to watch all the baking and cooking videos. I am flying to Tokyo to spend Christmas with my son and his family. I'll probably cook Christmas Eve dinner. Keep my safe travels in your prayers.
Awesome ideas. Definitely making the reindeer munch, strawberry cookies, candy cane and the savory breakfast buns. Thank you so much and have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄♥
I can attest to the yumminess of these recipes! Thanks, Leslie, for sharing these with your neighbors. You are always the hostess with the mostest! You actual got me into the mood to do some baking! Love you!
Girl, you knocked it out of the park! This is one of those recipe videos that people are going to use for years!! I love everything you do!! Happy Holidays to you, Jason, and your family!
You deserve a little time off. You are amazing doing all the you tube and being there for Mr. Jason. I love your channel. You are one of my favorites. I am going to try the breakfast sandwich recipe out. Yummy!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!🌲❤️
Thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas. I am not into cooking these days. Plus our family moved so we are alone. Yes sad. But if I need to make up something I am going to use your recipes. I always think of how things are going with Jason. My thoughts are with you. Enjoy you family. Tomorrow is another day. Merry Christmas. And blessings from our Lord and Savior. Joyce from Iowa
Everything looks SOOOO delicious! I've never made Buckeye's with rice krispies but that sounds good too. Can I just come over to your house?? Merry Christmas to you and Jason and your family! 🎄
Leslie, thank you for the holiday tips. You are so gifted in so many ways and your inner beauty is just like your outer beauty. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas 🎄
Thank you, I wanted some ideas, and some if these really "spoke" to me. What a day you put in! You're such a lovely open-hearted person. I enjoyed every minute we spent cooking together today. Merry Christmas to you and Jason. May the Lord's love and blessings be abundant in your lives. ❤
Excited to share that on Saturday we are coming together as family for some Christmas fun. I was struggling with what to serve to be a bit different and appealing to everyone ages ranging 3-93. Thanks to Leslie for making the planning SO incredibly fun!! I am switching things up a bit and we are serving appetizers and an assortment of desserts! We put Leslie's oh so fun recipes on cards, tucked em' in a box and drew out what each of us will be making. It's going to be reindeer crunch, celery, carrots and radishes with her incredible cream cheese spread, baked sausage and cheese munchies, andes candies and crackers, strawberry cookies (my favorite), buck eyes with butterfingers, edible glitter non-alcohol drinks AND chicken wings!! Now we just need Leslie to come direct the crazy fun! Thank You!!! Maureen
I hope you take that time for you and family. You work so hard hope you can give yourself a break, we aren't going anywhere. Much love to you, Jason and family. Merry Christmas
Take the time off! You deserve a break 🙂 Yummy ideas! I was wanting to make something, but wasn't sure what, now I have a few ideas to pick from...if I get motivated in the next day or two! Ha! Merry Christmas to you and Jason!!
I love all of your ideas. I'm going to throw a few in with my regular holiday appetizers and snacks. I hope you and your family have a blessed holiday season.
Wow, Leslie you can truly do it all! For an andes shortcut it looks like you can baking chips to melt down (in a bag like chocolate chips). They also make "snap bars" that you could melt down to avoid opening individual wrappers. Merry Christmas to you and Jason!
Oh my goodness! The Andes mints and Ritz cracker recipe is so easy and delicious!!! It's going to be a new favorite at Christmas time at my house! THANK YOU❤ Merry Christmas!
Leslie! I want to make every one of these recipes! Lots of new ideas and new twists on old ones! It’s obvious that you are a crafter! You even make cooking an art project! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Hi Leslie, These appetizers and treats look So good. I cannot wait to make them. Thank you so much for this video during such a busy holiday time. ❤ Much LOVE to you and Jason❤
Hi Lesley.Thank you for taking the time to show us all the goodies!!!That is a good idea about not putting everything on the same plate!!!I never thought of what you said about the flavors running into eachother!!Also the snacks with melted butter look great!!!

I second this motion!!
I agree with this motion
Definitely agree!
I have to say, I almost didn’t click on this video, I’ve watched quite a few Christmas baking day videos in the last few days! But I’m so glad I did! Your recipes are different than the others I’ve watched, some are very intriguing. Thanks!
Wow, thank you! 😊❤️
You can melt almond bark and add peppermint flavoring to avoid having to unwrap the Andies Mints. Works like a charm
Love this idea!❤
Can any of these recipes be frozen ahead of time?
My husband and I used to watch yours and Jason's utubes. My husband served in the vietnam War and was exposed to agent orange. He ended up with parkinson and had dementia as well. He passed away a little over two years.I pray for you two often. Thank you for your transparency, and thank Jason for his service.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your husband's service! Praying for God's blessings on you and your family. 🙏
Blessings to you and yours. ❤️ Merry Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. You are the sweetest!!! ❤❤❤
Take a vacation! We’ll see you when you get back. Well deserved!❤️❤️❤️
I think this is the BEST collection of recipes in one place I’ve ever seen! I’m going to try every single one. Thank you so much for an excellent video! Merry Christmas to you and Jason.

I've heard "wash your sister sauce.". For your buckeyes, how about a circle of parchment paper between each layer so they don't stick together
Yes girl!! My biggest pet peeve about cookie plates! I always, always put the different cookies in sandwich bags on a cookie plate. It's not as pretty, but it sure makes a difference. I'm so glad you mentioned this!
Mandy from Mandy in the making, calls it the dub sauce !!
Take a well deserved break! We’ll see you next year!

What wonderful treats! Thank you for sharing these! Oh, and the angel choir at the reveals...awesome! 🤶🎅🎄❤💚
I called it Rooster Sauce as a little girl 😂
That rustic candy cane sure looks good!
The Strawberry Cookies WINS my first! Maureen
In Massachusetts we pronouce Worcestershire sauce Woosta-shear sauce
You are so right about separating different types of treats! Same for candy too 🍪
So funny! And cute you are. Going to do the crackers. Good tip on giving cookies. Leslie, you got me wanting to do more recipes for the Christmas season.

Love the idea of cupcake liners!❤
I couldn't see what your shirt said but the Christmas tree cake is too funny! All of the recipes look great and I'm sure I'll try all of them.
Thank you for so many appetizers, cookie, etc recipes. I’m watching all your videos to get ideas.
Honestly Leslie-

At my local Meijer grocery store, the Andes chocolate come in a bag as little chips.
I love that candy cane danish. That is so cute! 🥰
I really enjoyed this video and loved your great ideas! You are so adorable...I just love your personality. God bless you & Jason! ✝️
