With Thanksgiving over it’s time to jump right into the Christmas season! Time for all things Christmas-y. Time for Christmas carols, putting up the tree, and all things gingerbread flavored!

I love all things Christmas, but probably one of my favorite things is this Gingerbread Latte. I love to curl up on the couch before everyone wakes up (including the sun) and sit by the light of the Christmas tree, gingerbread latte in hand, and watch the sun come up. It’s so centering to have that quiet time during the crazy holiday season; I look forward to it every year.

This latte is simple to make, no fancy machinery needed, and rivals the taste of a certain coffee house giant 😉 You won’t find any red cup controversies here, just amazing flavors that will warm you to your soul.
