So umm, Christmas is in just ONE week.
Like seven days from today we will all be hanging out around the Christmas tree, opening gifts and feasting on Christmas food! If you don’t celebrate Christmas maybe you’ll just be chillin and enjoying a little time off?
Either way, it’s going to be a good, good day.
YESSS.
I feel like our Christmas morning, or maybe better, our Christmas Eve (personally my favorite day of the year!) should involve these lattes. I mean, do you see them? Are they not the cutest latte ever? I am slightly obsessed with them. I have never been a huge fan of gingerbread, but I changed that this year, BIG time.
First with these waffles and now with these Gingerbread Lattes. So much gingerbread goodness!
OKAY, but let’s have a serious chat…ok, a fun chat. With Christmas being only one week away, and the New Year quickly approaching, I’ve got some questions.
ONE: have you completed your Christmas shopping?? I have actually had mine done for a few days now, which is kind of amazing. Normally I’m scrambling to find places that will ship in time for Christmas. I am also pretty excited to give my gifts. I LOVE giving a really great gift and I think I actually have a few this year.
TWO: what’s your favorite thing you’ve done (or will do) this month? My favorite activity? Well it has yet to happen. I’m thinking it will be gingerbread house making with little miss Asher which I believe will happen today or tomorrow!! 🙂 We’re also going on a sleigh ride to dinner (all 19 of us) on Monday night, should be fun!
THREE: what’s your favorite gift you’re giving this year? My favorite is the gift I got my dad. I can’t say what it is, in case he reads this, but I am super excited about it.
FOUR:Â what is your favorite holiday recipe?? I honestly think that these lattes are my current favorite. They are just so warm and cozy, AND they’re another excuse to eat gingerbread cookies…with a side of latte…whipped cream…plus caramel sugar!
FIVE: how are we feeling about these videos I have been making for you guys? Are you guys watching them? Do you like them? Anything you feel I should do differently in them? I would really love to hear what you guys think. Kai and I have had a ton of fun making them, but man, they are so much work! The video world is a whole new ballgame. <–truth.
OKAY. These Gingerbread Lattes. They’re actually like a gingerbread cookie in a drink form, spiked with a little coffee. I have to say, I think these are actually better than a gingerbread cookie because with the lattes you get a drink WITH your cookies. You see, it’s really a two for one deal! 🙂
AND then there is all the whipped cream… dying.
WAIT. It actually gets better. Yes – better! Caramel sugar with flaky salt! See, better times a million.
If you’re wondering what caramel sugar is, it’s literally just caramelized sugar that you break into pieces. SO SIMPLE, but yet so good – and festive! Just sprinkle the shard of sugar over the latte and it just melts into the drink creating the most delicious caramel swirls in your gingerbread.
I mean. Come on. It’s almost too good, but then nope… it’s PERFECT.
Just in case the photos aren’t enough to seal the deal for you, here is a little holiday video to get you a little more excited for these gingerbread lattes! Don’t mind my little quirks, still getting used to this whole camera in my face thing…you know I really prefer to be behind the lens!!

Can you feel the coziness yet?!?
P.S. The mugs are maybe my most favorite kitchen item. You can buy them ate Crate and Barrel if you are interested!
I didn’t think gingerbread lattes could get any better until I saw there was salted caramel sugar! This looks sooooo good 🙂

Woah. These look so delicious! I love gingerbread and lattes, so I may just have to try these out.
Hi Merry Christmas! No, not done with my shopping. That is SO unlike me. I am usually super ready! My favorite thing that I have done is decorate 36 cookies for an exchange. I have a cute wonky tree cookie cutter and each one was different. Favorite gift is hard. We do a sister gift exchange with lots of little things between us girls. I have a lot of fun gathering small things for them. Favorite recipe? Hard to say. Spritz cookies are so easy and so nostalgic for me. I like the videos, but the pictures are the best. Your photos are magical!
I hope mine come out as nice as yours.
I’m making this for my next Netflix session xD
These look delicious! Your photos are always the best. Even if it’s a recipe I’m not interested in, I always stop by to check out your pictures!
Cream cheese whipped cream? Sounds good but its not in the recipe? I love your videos! You will be on the food channel in no tme!
Hey Debbie!
Sorry, I actually decided against adding the cream to the recipe. It sort of melted funny in the latte. Thank you so much!!
So so so cute!! And I love your videos! You’re knocking them out of the park! I can’t believe I haven’t had salted caramel sugar in my life before. Thanks so much for introducing me to it!
This is seriously gorgeous! I’m definitely going to do those for my family on Christmas morning! Thank you so much for the recipe!
As for favorite Christmas recipes this year, I’m a huge fan of Jamie Oliver’s cranberry and clementine scones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE0-wQv9Vlo
Oh my god this looks heavenly!! And it’s dairy free too (if I use a non-dairy whipping cream). Thank you for sharing!! This will definitely be part of our Christmas morning breakfast. My family and my boyfriend should be thanking you 😉

These look wonderfully delicious. So cute too.
I like your videos, but if it is too much work I would just not do them. I enjoy them a lot. You don’t need any extra work with all you have on your plate.
I love the videos. They make me feel like I am in the kitchen with you. I am not a big fan of coffee, however I am going to try these because my guess is the coffee is kinda like adding coffee to my brownies…I won’t be able to taste it.
Awesome, yummy!
Yum! Keep those latte recipes coming!
I love the mugs!!! I’m not a fan of gingerbread, but boy, do these lattes look like something I could gobble down in like two seconds!!!
