Jingle Bells Subway Art Printables

Happy Holidays, everyone!  How’s the Christmas shopping going?  Or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or whatever holiday you may be celebrating.  I’m beyond excited that I’m done with the shopping part… now just madly trying to get all the gifts assembled.  I’m beginning to wonder how wise it was to start the PJ pants from Mom on Christmas Eve tradition……. ah, well.

Anyway, these little goodies went up at Lil Luna last week (my last post there!  It’s been fun, but I feel like I need to get my life a little more under control before I commit content to such a big blog again.  It’s too much stress!).  I wanted to share them here too, in case you missed it then.

I was super excited to get to post in December.  I love Christmastime and designing for the holidays.  Since I’ve already done a good couple handfuls of holiday printables, I was a little stumped on what to do.  But, I think I came to a great conclusion!  I love the way these turned out and I hope you can find some way to incorporate them into your holidays.  Christmas cards, home decor, gift wrap… just a few ideas.

Chocolate Christmas Popcorn

I hope your holiday hustle and bustle is going well and that you are getting things crossed off your to-do list faster than I’m crossing things off mine!

On Sunday, the activity from our advent calendar was a “Surprise Christmas Movie Box”.  Basically, we had popcorn, bubbly juice, candy and watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.  The original one.  My three-year-old would die if I tried to make him sit through a two hour Jim Carrey movie.

For our popcorn we made what we affectionately call “Christmas Crack”.  It’s super simple, but completely addicting!  I mean, chocolate and popcorn… I don’t know if you could really mess that up.  It’s awesome for get togethers, because it’s super easy to make a ton and feed lots of people.  Or to eat all yourself.  Whatever.  Or maybe share with the neighbors.  Or maybe not.

CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS POPCORN

 The Best Christmas Popcorn is made with only 4 ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes to make!
Ingredients:
– 2.5 cups unpopped corn kernels
– 2 cups milk chocolate chips (you could use dark or semi-sweet chips too)
– 2 cups mint chips
– 14 Peppermint Kisses, unwrapped
Directions:
–  Pop the corn according to directions.  We prefer to pop it in an air popper.  Spread popped corn in a large baking sheet.
–  Put half of the chocolate and mint chips and the Kisses in separate, microwave-safe containers.
–  Heat the chocolate and mint chips and the Kisses in 20 second increments in the microwave.  Stir every 20 seconds.  Heat until nearly melted and then stir to melt the rest of the way.  Be careful not to scald your chocolate.
–  Use the long end of a spoon to dip into your chocolate and drizzle about half the melted chocolate over your popcorn.  Be generous.
–  Let stand until chocolate re-hardens.  We stick ours in the garage for about 15 minutes or so.
–  Gently turn popcorn, melt the other half of the chips and drizzle over the turned popcorn.  Let set again.
–  Gently turn the popcorn once again and break up the chocolate a little.  Pour into a bowl and serve!
Serves approximately 6

Happy Holidays!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
