By Madam Potts With Christmas and New Year’s fast approaching, there’s no better time to make the night special by trying something new. So while you’re stocking up on the usual liquor and champagne, be sure to pick up some tea. By A.C. Cargill Indulge in holiday goodies like fruitcake, mince and pumpkin pies, and Swiss cake rolls, then, wash it all down with tea, and you’ll keep from putting on those holiday pounds. Yeah, right! By Madam Potts Part of what makes the holidays so merry and bright is that so many people are looking forward to getting together with friends and loved ones, both near and far. Dinner parties, annual traditions, and holiday festivities are par for the course this month. At this time of year, a thoughtful gift is also part of the sharing that happens amongst people. By A.C. Cargill Mince pies and bakewells and cakes, oh my — you’ll find these and more in the Mr. Kipling product lineup. This British company has been busy baking and bringing scrumptious joy to several generations now. During the winter holidays, they are especially popular. By A.C. Cargill Green is one of the dominant colors for the holidays (red being the other), so why not for your tea, too? Several choices spring to mind, teas that I have tried and grown quite fond of during the past year. By Lainie Petersen The holidays are often a time of heavy, rich food that isn’t so easy on either the digestive system or the waistline. Simple, non-alcoholic, teas and tisanes can lighten the mood a bit while still maintaining holiday cheer. For “White Christmas”, Stash blended a white tea with ginger and peppermint and the results are quite pleasing. By A.C. Cargill I love chai — I love the winter holiday season — so it’s natural to have chais for the holidays! Well, actually, chai is good anytime. It just seems to be especially good this time of year. All that chilly weather and those leaves putting on their color show and then drifting into piles on the ground — they prompt us to get the fireplaces crackling, the snuggly blankets out, and the mugs full of chai for a cozy tea time. By A.C. Cargill It’s that time of year when brightly colored teawares in your favorite holiday colors abound. Conjure up your favorite winter holiday image: snowmen, poinsettias, Christmas trees, candy canes, etc. Believe it or not, you’ll be able to find a mug, cup, teapot, or other teaware sporting that image. And many more! By A.C. Cargill Mince pie mania has set in at our house. One of the best things about the winter holidays — and that gets our hearts to beating a bit faster — is the reappearance of mince pies on the market. My first mince pie memories are from childhood. My father would cut a quarter section out of a 10” pie and eat about half of it with one bite By Madam Potts |
