It's time for another Double-Trouble Holiday, one guaranteed to leave you hungry...

In this episode of the Cozy Christmas Podcast, I begin with a few reflections on this past year and share some personal thanksgiving thoughts. Then Author Tyler Mitchell returns to chat about his heartwarming Christmas children's book, Double Trouble and the Upside Christmas Tree, and some of the new adventures the book has brought this year for him and his family. Next, we talk about Christmas parades and some of the important rules you'll want to remember if you're ever in one (Hint: don't get stuck behind the horses...) Next, Tyler shares memories of the Christmas parades in his hometown of Boonville, Indiana. We also reminisce about the power of Christmas ornaments to unlock cherished memories of the past. And finally, hold on to your taste buds, because we dive into the delicious world of festive holiday treats, including a mouthwatering Braided Nutella Star Bread that will leave you craving all the Christmas desserts! So grab a cup of cocoa and join us for this festive and flavorful holiday chat!
