Baking and Streaming This Holiday Season

How did it get to be December 21st already? Christmas is only a few days away and there is still so much to do in our house to get ready. Thankfully, everything that is remaining is of the fun variety. To me, the holidays means time to relax with the family and eat lots of baked goods while watching movies.

So it was great to see this month’s streamteam theme was just that. What have we been baking and what have we been watching on Netflix?

What’s Baking?

Well, so far, most of the baking is still to come. The kitchen will be giving off the scent of freshly baked muffins this week and once everyone is home for Christmas, Netflix will also be giving off smells of a different kind. You know that electronics smell of dust and over usage?

I did manage to do some “dad” baking last week that was festive. I whipped up some easy-bake cinnamon rolls on a night it was just the boys and I. Whenever mom has to work late, we have what the boys call a “dad dinner”. It usually means something they love to eat and watching Netflix.

So when I added cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate, it became a real holiday party.

If you look around the house now, you will see candy canes, gingerbread houses and all kinds of random treats that only show up during the holidays.

What’s Streaming?


While you’re gathering around the TV this season, these holiday favourites will have you feeling merry and bright.

In the spirit of the holidays, I also want to share the gift of Netflix with a lucky reader who hasn’t yet explored everything Netflix has to offer?

I am giving away two six-month Netflix subscriptions. Whether you have never tried Netflix or want to save on paying for it for half a year, it doesn’t matter. It’s easy to enter.
Go to our Facebook page and (like us of course), then tell us what you are watching on Netflix over the holidays. It does not matter if it is with the kids or just on your own.

After the new year, we will pick two winners and hook you up.
