What I have been anticipating the entire year is almost here… Christmas!! The best part about Christmas is making memories by keeping up with the traditions and holiday parties. And if you know me, I love throwing a good party!

We were recently contacted by Mezzetta to share a favorite holiday recipe as well as the story or memory that inspired it. So a big thank you to Mezzetta for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to share some of our many favorite Holiday traditions.

My family and friends have a ton of traditions that we do each year that are really special to me. Each year we have a pie bake, cookie bake and lefse making day. And let me tell you, these bake days are serious business.

Another tradition I have started to do with my girlfriends every year is throw a Victoria Secret Fashion Show party, which happened to be last night. What better excuse for a fun girls night! Here is some of the fun we had last night.

So for this campaign, I wanted to share the signature drink we had at the party last night, a Cherry Moscow Mule. This is my new favorite drink. It is so simple to make and tastes so good.

Cherry Moscow Mule

• 2 ounces vodka
• 6 ounces ginger beer
• 4 Mezzetta cherries with a splash of the cherry juice
• Splash of fresh squeezed lime juice
• frozen cranberries

When entertaining, especially during the holidays, simple is best. We all need a few less steps during the business of the holiday season. The best part about Mezzetta products is that they are so simple to use. Everything is all ready to go in a jar. No cleaning or cutting hassle.

Mezzetta provides a ton of simple products, such as their olives, peppers, jalapenos, the options are endless. I love using their peppers in my stir fry recipes. That way I always have vegetables on hand.

I encourage you to recreate and try out the Cherry Moscow Mule recipe for yourself this holiday season. Make sure to visit this page to download your $.50 off coupon on all Mezzetta products.
