We love visiting the World of Coca-Cola during the Christmas season.  It transforms into such a beautiful and magical place!

From now through Jan. 1, the attraction is festive and bright, including dazzling lights, larger-than-life decorations, signature seasonal beverages and more as part of World of Coca-Cola’s annual celebration.

When visiting the attraction this season, don’t miss these five holiday highlights:

  1. Lights, Camera, Smile: Make a memorable entrance by walking through a 28-foot-tall ornament of holiday lights in Pemberton Place. The outdoor winter wonderland is complete with larger-than-life ornaments and trees wrapped in thousands of lights.
  2. Have a Cup of Cheer: Sip on something magical this holiday season by visiting the Taste It! beverage lounge, where you can enjoy a seasonal favorite like Gingerbread Coke or be among the first to taste Sprite Butter Toffee, a crisp-yet-cozy flavor sure to spark the holiday spirit.
  3. Take a Blast to the Past: Stroll down memory lane when you stop by “A Coca-Cola Christmas Celebration,” showcasing historic, seasonal Coke ads and artifacts from around the world. Learn the story of the man in red in the “History of the Coca-Cola Santa” exhibit.
  4. Sleigh the Selfie Game: Guests can climb aboard Santa’s sleigh or steal a bear hug from the 7-foot-tall Coca-Cola Polar Bear. Share pics using #WorldofCocaCola, and you might even see your holiday snap on the attraction’s social channels.
  5. Shop ‘til You Drop: Guests can knock out some holiday shopping during their visit. From apparel, to glassware, to home goods and more, there’s something for everyone on your list. For even more gift ideas, remember to shop online at CokeStore.com for a wide variety of holiday-themed items like ornaments and decorations, and even personalized bottles and clothing to make the holidays extra special.

There’s so much more to see and do at World of Coca-Cola this season – visit and see why the attraction is a holiday tradition for fans near and far.

The last time I went, we went at Christmastime and I got this cool mug.  I still use it often and it’s a great gift to grab!  I’m hoping our crew can go back soon!

Personalized Stocking Stand – Holds Up to 6 Stockings

One of our favorite Christmas decor items is our stocking tree. Everyone always asks where I bought it, so figured I’d share it with you guys, too!

We bought this personalized stocking stand from Walmart.com  a few years back.  You can order it with either a tree or a star at the top and personalize it with your family name.  We had it simply personalized as “The Haag Family”.  It holds up to 6 stockings, which is perfect since just the kids have stockings in our family.

The Stocking Stand comes apart for storage, but it’s narrow enough that we just keep it put together and store it with our Christmas items.  Currently the stand sells for $22.99 and you can select to pick it up in store or shipping over $35 is free.

Fun to Make: Edible Reindeer Treats

I can’t believe Christmas is only a few weeks away!  I love making fun treats for my kids and their friends and these reindeer are so fun to make!  These Reindeer Treats can be the feature item to your holiday gathering, but they are also simple enough to make for a classroom party.  All you need to do is run to the store, grab a few ingredients and they can be put together in a snap.  Kids will love them even though they are almost too cute to eat.

Ingredients Needed:

  • Little Debbie Swiss Rolls
  •  Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups
  • Mini Candy Canes
  • Red M&M Candies
  • Candy Eyeballs
  • Pretzel Sticks
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Chocolate chips for melting

Instructions:

Melt a couple handfuls of chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl to prepare for assembly.

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper to work on your reindeer.

Turn a Swiss Roll upside down and dip the end of pretzel sticks in melted chocolate and insert into Swiss roll slightly to make the legs. Make sure all four pretzels are equal in length after they are inserted in the Swiss Roll to ensure that the reindeer will stand up.

Dip the end of two mini candy canes in melted chocolate – place the candy canes, with the stick part touching, together to form antlers.  Immediately place a peanut butter cup, bottom side, on the melted candy.  Lay on the parchment paper to harden.  You can set  it in the fridge to harden faster if needed.

Use melted chocolate to gently attach candy eyeballs and the M&M nose.

Use melted chocolate to attach the head and tail.  You will need to hold them until they are set.

Share and enjoy!
