I like giving myself a pass during the holidays to enjoy ALL the food and drink guilt free. That’s why these Homemade Christmas Creamers make an appearance in my fridge every December.
I’m a giver by nature though, so if I’m giving myself a Holiday Hall pass, why not share the love with my friends? I like to give these Homemade Christmas Creamers at hostess gifts. Paired with my Skillet Banana Bread they give your hostess with the mostess a well-deserved break on breakfast the day after holding the most epic holiday party of the season. Gurrrrl needs a break if you see what I’m saying here.
This recipe takes no time to pull together. Simply whisk your sweetened condensed milk and half & half together, then prep your milk or mason jars with different flavours. I like to make a Vanilla Bean flavoured creamer, in addition to Eggnog, Cinnamon Dream and Peppermint Mocha but YOU are only limited by your imagination.
