As I’ve said here before, (and to anyone who’ll listen, really) the holidays are my favorite time of year! I love everything about this time of year; the weather change, the fashion, and most importantly, Christmas! I have my essentials for the holidays, which include everything from decorations, to my favorite Christmas albums, to my favorite snacks and treats. With Christmas being just a few days away, I thought I’d share my favorites with you!

1). My little Christmas trees

I put these up in my room every year; my Charlie Brown tree, and my pink tree with matching skirt.

2). Pentatonix’s Christmas albums

I have way too many Christmas albums to count, but among my favorites are anything Pentatonix does. Their renditions of classic Christmas songs are so much fun, and definitely put me in the Christmas spirit!

3). Peppermint Mochas

I know I’m a little biased here, given I work at Starbucks, but I’ve always loved peppermint mochas. And with our adorable holiday cups, you can’t go wrong!

4). Vanilla Bean Noel body wash from Bath & Body Works

I’m a sucker for anything Christmas-scented, especially from Bath & Body Works! Vanilla Bean Noel is my favorite, but I also love Winter Candy Apple.

5). To-go cup

This is my favorite travel cup right now, (courtesy of Starbucks, of course.) I love how sparkly and festive it is, which makes it perfect for those peppermint mochas!

6). Christmas Eve church service

I try to make it to church as many weekends as I can, but it doesn't always happen because of my crazy schedule. Christmas Eve, however, is an absolute must! It's always a good reminder of the real reason for the season.

What are your favorite things for the holiday season?
