the Best Treats for Christmas for Christmas in July-Featuring Frozen Peppermint Hot Cocoa Shots7/17/2023 This post contains affiliate links. We will be compensated for purchases you make at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support! Back in 2018 when we did our original live Christmas in July, we shared some really yummy treats to serve at your own Christmas in July party. We had festive Watermelon Stars and Strawberry Santa Hats. We served a veggie tray shaped like a Christmas Tree. And of course, sugar cookies to decorate. Recently I've found some recipes that look perfect for a summery Christmas party!
Since our blog is the home of the Original Hot Cocoa Bomb, I had to find a way to incorporate Hot Cocoa into our Christmas in July Celebration! Frozen Hot Cocoa seemed to be the perfect solution! To serve a crowd and to cut back on the sugar and sweets, I made my grandchildren Peppermint Hot Cocoa Shots, in cute smaller juice glasses, topped with Cool Whip or whipped cream and sprinkles, of course! They pronounced them good! Even if you aren't celebrating Christmas in July, these are a refreshing summer way to enjoy Hot Cocoa!

Tomorrow is the beginning of Amazon Prime Day! It couldn't hit at a better time because when I think of Christmas in July, I think of ways to get ready for Christmas in December that will A) Help me be prepared and less rushed in December, and B) Help me save money on gifts, decor and other essentials.
So, while the Prime Day Deals haven't begun yet, I've started a watch list, plus found some deals that are already pretty terrific! Let me share a few!

Making shelf sitting bookstacks has become my new passion! It is so much fun to come up with a meaningful saying to put on them, and then to decorate them appropriately.
I've already shared with you a simple religious message stack, and a Harry Potter themed stack. Now I'm excited to share this very cheery Merry and Bright Christmas Bookstack!

For Father's Day, my granddaughter was excited to make her dad and grandpa a cake! She chose a Dolly Parton Style Coconut Cake Mix that I had in my cupboard and whipped that up as a 2 layer round cake. I had seen a cake online that was decorated to look like a campfire. Since her dad and my husband both love camping, I suggested that might me a great way to decorate the cake. She was all in! If you decide to make this cake, of course you can do it in any flavor you like.
