Protein hot chocolate for the win! I used my homemade fudge sauce which is easy and delicious mixed with @fairlife vanilla protein shakes. This doesn’t taste like a “healthy alternative” at all.
It is so freaking good and tastes just like the real deal. Plus, it’s a fun festive drink to have during the holidays while being filling and 26 grams of protein.

This might sound really silly but I dream about the day that my kids are adults and have their own children and families and everybody comes to my house for a Christmas dinner and gingerbread house decorating party. My hope is to lay the foundation right now while my kids are a little that we do this every year and it becomes their favorite tradition to the point where they feel like they could never miss Mom‘s gingerbread house decorating party.

Makes me so happy to host this and I want it to grow every single year! as the kids get older, I feel like there should be categories that they can win; most candy used, most traditional, most creative, ect.
